This brings back a fond memory. In 1996 in Southwestern Michigan my friend and I (visiting from California) were driving on a county road through corn fields, and we saw what to me looked like a giant gopher way up in a tree. We stopped and my friend, a Michigan native, recognized it as a full grown nutria. We popped it out of the tree with our .22 and took it home and dressed it out and roasted it in the oven. It was really good! It was full of corn from the fields. I suppose smaller ones would make good snake food. The same corn fields were full of black rat snakes.
