I had (invasive) nutra at my old place, they are persistent pests and will demolish ground-level crops (lettuce etc) if you don't shoo them away every morning

i remember them being fatter and mangier than the dudes in this video

Are they good eating/nice fur? Trapping beavers is fairly straight forward and they're decent to eat and you can do a ton with their fur, these guys look similar. If they're pests I can't imagine they wouldn't have a season you'd be allowed to catch them

They were originally brought in to a lot of places in the mid-20th century with the idea of breeding them for fur. Like in my dad's time, they'd have ads in magazines trying to dupe r-slurs into buying them. But it never actually made sense economically so then people would turn them loose and they'd get into the wild and outcompete the native animals.

muskrats, beavers and these guys all seem cut from the same cloth, gotta train some little minkuses to hunt em for us

my friend was trapping for beavers causing flooding and accidentally caught some martens that killed each other, they're soft the same way minks are. felt bad for the little fellas. to prevent :marseyairquotes:accidental:marseyairquotes: poachings you're not supposed to do anything with of out of season animals, and i get it, but it feels worse these little guys died for literally nothing so i'm making some gloves w the pelts for that friend. too bad their meat is inedible cus still feels like a waste

Yeah, everyone hates them for destroying habitats. Apparently they're even a big problem in places like Italy now.
