Miles the 17 shines on flat ground shooting for varmints. The 22 mag should have died by anyone that has a Hornet though

It was $5 last time I checked but it's limited in how many total they will pay out.

Meats not bad if you do something like bbq it.

Otto is my co-pilot.

I have shot 1000s with a 22 long rifle.

This is a post I made on another forum a couple of years back.

Quote
As a kid and young man I trapped with my father and brother. We primarily sought nutria, but also caught many raccoons, mink, and otters. An average year would yield 2000 nutria.

Dad died in 1985 when I was 22. I trapped by myself for two more seasons but there was no money in nutria by then. I was a 4th generation Louisiana trapper.

Louisiana now offers a program that pays $5.00 for a nutria tail. I also found a buyer for the green hides they are only paying $2.25 per hide. With the total sell at $7.75 and not having to flesh, nail, or dry the hides I decided to trap again.

My nephew (sister's son) is helping me and is fifth generation. His father and grandfather were also trappers.

A few pictures from this year.
