re: Nutria problem

Have a fence but they are chewing up a portion of the land b/t fence and water. Honestly I'd love a gator or 2, in fact we've had one every summer the last few years and I'm not opposed but it is a neighborhood with an HOA and you know how that goes, everybody freaks at a 2-3 foot gator. Also why I'm reluctant to shoot more than a pellet gun. Thought they were nocturnal as I RARELY see them but will keep a better eye out. Hate these damn things.
