I’ve tried this approach too, but it’s not as effective.

I've tried steel traps, flooding tunnels with water, smoke bombs, flares, burning sulfer, carbon monoxide, shooting a .22 and .410 or jabbing a shovel into wiggly mounds. I sometimes have luck having the John Deere idle over the ground where they are active. They are pretty fussy about a spec of dirt being out of place in their tunnels and the ground vibrating John Deere can set them into a cleaning house frenzy.

I shoot steel out in the hills to the east of where I live. It's BLM land that is open to the public.

I am a certified, psycho pine cone killer! They fall routinely to ANY caliber I shoot ! The upside? they are free, are everywhere in the woods, can be moved and set up and they don't run off!

Guy's,
It is fun seeing what everyone is shooting from keeping our river banks clean and cleaning all those pine cones up. That silhouette meet looks really fun. Keep posting what you are shooting. Love the ideas and the fun pictures.

Got the first fall nutria today. About 20-25yds out in the creek below the back of the house. Normally they don't get that close. They are usually 60-65 yds out when I take them. No squirming and bawling like I would get with a .22. One .30-30 shot and done.

Nutria have invaded the California Central Valley. 100 were trapped or otherwise in a recent program checking the population.

I had to look up what that is exactly. That would be good target practice keep those rodents at bay. So it is a big Rat.

.
A big river rat. Very destructive to creek banks, irrigation ditches, vegetation farm crops, etc. Somebody, many decades ago, thought it was a good idea to import them for eating and their fur. Some escaped and the rest purposely let go after finding there was no market for them. Here nutria, eastern gray squirrel and eastern fox squirrel are the area's most non-native species. Nutria get the .30-30 and the non-native squirrels get the .410.
