noone saw,,,

that dave attel guy on "up all night"???

i think he was down in louisiana and was riding around with the local sherriffs dept while they were jacklighting these things along a river bank.

the shooter was (supposedly) the local dept sniper and he was shooting from the back of a pickup while sitting in a lawn chair.

he was using a suppressed .22 bolt action with a scope while another sherriff was shining the old searchlight on em'

attel finished the show by saying, "a lot of animals were hurt and killed during the production of this show"

:D
 
Now THAT is a vile looking creature! Do they get the orange teeth from their diet, like flamingoes? :confused:

Look at those FEET!

Time to head down to the swamp and try out this nitrogen filled EO Tech 511!

Wonder how they would react to Q3131A? :evil:
 
AS if we don't have enough acroynyms for loadings. PP, SP, STHP, JSP..."gimme a box of them loads, yeah yeah them, so they are $5 a box more...these are the BRL* gotta have them".

*Big Rodent Load, gotta be worth at least $5 more...:)
 
First of all, I don't think they'll rip your arms off, since they are vegetarians. (well, THERE's a reason to shoot `em! :) )

Second, I'd bet that, like most herbivores, they taste just fine. Certainly worth a try. People eat squirrels, rabbits and the like.

Tell ya what. Just have three bites. Then, if you don't like it, push it to the side of your plate. :)

I'm from Louisiana, and I hadn't even heard about these things being on the loose. I've always known what they are, and seen them at the zoo, but thought that nutria's were the BFR in these parts. I'm sure it wouldn't take too much to bring one down though. A good handgun load should do the trick.
 
Anybody got a good graphics program that might help reveal what state those truck plates are on the second photo I posted? I can't make them out.

Jumpin Jiminy...if those things are invading Texas, and if they compete with armadillos...that could be a major disaster! Could you imagine singin "Back to the Giant Rodent" instead of "Back to the Armadillo"? And man, those things would ruin your suspension if you hit 'em with a car!

I think this calls for immediate action.

What gun? Well...if you want something to hunt with your AK, I think this would be the critter.
 
And watch out for quicksand, too ....

Ah, I'm glad someone caught on to my post. ;) :D :p

Yeah, I was joking in the vein of The Princess Bride.

As for a practical answer to the question, I'd take a good .45-70 gov't chambered lever-action rifle.

made me look...:what:

what's the big deal? Chinese people (such as residents in Hong Kong) routinely eat new born rats. Live. These rodents just fill the plates better. :evil:

Guess they'd have less of a problem with lawyer overpopulation...:neener:

edited to add post script:

p.s. "lawyer" = ambulance chasing, intern sodomizing, sticking it to the rich because they are rich, JD holders. I make exception for the JD's who defend the constitution and the pro self defense victims of gun-grabbers.

And what are you going to do with the other 140+ lbs of meat thats left over? :barf:

I'd have to be running damn low on Spaghetti-O's to resort to eating that :uhoh:
