"it's so cute" and it lives in the park

Saw this one yesterday and some runners gals stopped to comment "it's so cute". It look a lot like a muskrat but it definitely has a rat-like tail.

All I could think about was:
Taipan Veteran Long .25
Predator Poly Mag

I need to square off with these buggers but it's difficult to find properties with them and owners that are cool but I will.
 
I too think that it is calling your Taipan VL's name! LOL!

The stoat, raccoon, and possum fubarred my ratting. getting desperate but gotta go 'hunting' for permissions

Dang! Those other critters are raining on your pesting fun! No wonder you are looking for permissions! Mike, I hope you find more than one permission soon 👍.
 
Nutria. Invasive.

And tasty. I brought one home once back in the '80s. It was a small one it weighed maybe six or eight pounds 10 lb maybe. Wifey cooked it and we ate it and it was really some of the best game meet I've ever had. When we were cleaning up she looked at me and said don't ever bring me another one of those to cook. I can't stand what they look like.

That was the only time I've ever had it it was pretty good. If you think about it why wouldn't it be their vegetarian and they're clean if the water is clean.

It all makes sense about the water and what they eat. You liked it and that's very cool and I understand about how The Missus feels.

I'd eat carp but the water is always YUCKY, here at least.
