Thanks Leon...yeah they are ugly and I’ve shot a couple bigger ones than that.Also they have dug holes that you can drop a basketball in around the banks of my pond,I’m gonna have to fill them in too be able to take the John Deere to cut the grass...they are destructive as far as digging and weakening the banks around a pond.Ineed a way to get rid of Canadian geese,they’re poopting everywhere.I’m ready to get an airsoft gun and start spraying their asses

Impressive and a cool looking gun. What's the weight on that rodent? Are you going to eat it?

sasquatch I didn’t weight it but it had some meat on its bones though.I hear they’re delicious but I can’t get past the fact that it’s a rodent.I take them out back for the coyotes or whatever makes them disappear.
Thanks Ranchibi

Nice one! They grow real big in the NW. I shot this one several years ago with my RX2 .22 gas ram. Bigger they are harder they fall. One well placed head shot took this swamp rat down. AKA as Nutria

I had to look at this topic to see what the hell a nutria rat is. Are they just like a muskrat?

Native to South America. Another chapter in the non-native animals as a commercial venture gone wrong series....

JimNM WELL SAID lol...yep they are considered invasive brought here in 1800’s for their fur
not sure who they thought would buy it.Anyway didn’t work out so they released a bunch of them now they’re in like 20 states or so.How to tell the difference is muskrats have short furry tails,nutria have long rat tails and orange teeth,their tracks always have a line between the feet tracks from tail dragging

They are huge, hopefully they won’t wreck your pond. You got the best tools for the job! Thanks for sharing.

See, I learn something every day. I hope I never have to deal with them. Hopefully they don’t breed like regular rats. If so, I can’t imagine the damage they could do.

They tunnel into the bank and go about 10 ft away and build nests underground like gophers. Then the bank will eventually cave-in making the creek bigger and bigger. In Salem Oregon the alfalfa farmers HATE THEM. Over time they will take a small creek and turn it into a large muddy swamp, destroying the fields of alfalfa. Thats where I hunted this one when I lived there. They love rain and muck. Oregon is full of them everywhere there is a muddy creek near fields of grass. Brought here from South America by some moron.
Here's some more pics of the same one. Different angles.
Check out these nasty teeth. You don't want to handle them when they're alive
