;DLooks like we might be getting another good eating critter to hunt in Central Florida. On the News last night they reported about Capybaras on the loose and breeding in the Gainesville Florida area. They usually have 12 or more little critters in a litter. They reported them moving south towards where I live and will be devastating to our strawberries, blueberries and small citrus trees not to mention the melons we grow here, also. I've ate these in South America and are really good slow roasted on a fire. You have to love dumb Rednecks buying exotic animals at the Flea Market and then letting them loose when they get too big. I'm looking forward to slinging an arrow at one. :)

Eddie , besides eatin got any other good parts, hides, heads, bones, maybe tusks?

100 pound rats will give your pythons a new food source
If you do kill one save me the skull please
-
better get a handle on them now before the next tv series come out capybara explosion on the discover channel!
@Outback - their hides are probably like nutria or beaver. never touched one though but they do like the water....
-
Send them north over that Alabama line Eddie - variety is the spice of life. My wife will have a come apart when she finds fifty pounds of rat burger in the deep freeze. :laugh:

I'm sure they will head your way, Howard. Heck, you sent us the Armadillo. The study the NC University did on pythons said they are adapting to cold weather and will be in NC within ten years. These rat boogers like the warm swamps, I hope it makes itself at home in the Green Swamp Mngt Area.
Bob, it's a big ass rat without the tail, around #50. The ones you see in side shows at Carnivals, "Giant Rats".

Oh man ! I still haven't had the chance to hit one here but I really wish you good luck.
-
They are just coming back home :)
I found fossil teeth at the Apac pit in
Sarasota back in the day.

Probably got wiped out when the meteor hit in the middle of the Gulf.

Darryl Q and Denny S shot some and tanned the hide. Darryl has used it on most all of his self bow grips. Its unique leather, almost sued like on both sides.
-
Now I'd really like to stick one, Pearly.
-
Eddie, maybe you can trap a few and bring them up to SC.
-
I'm sure Chris would want some. But, like pigs, I'm not driving 9 hours with a stinky Rat in a Jeep.
-
Eddie I bet the hide tanned would make some great string silencers to.

Sounds delicious to me. That's be fun to hunt.
