Nutria bounty increased

 

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries has upped the bounty on nutria to $5.00 a tail, trying to keep trappers active despite fur prices lagging far behind the rising cost of fueling boats and off-road vehicles. Paid for by the federal Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act, the bounty program "has removed more than 1.1 million nutria," reported Associated Press.
