Invictus
YouTube took me down the rabbit-hole last night and I started watching hunts for invasive species. Seemed to be open season on most with no bag limit. Anything like that in Maryland?
Outdoor cats are my favorite invasive species to hunt here in Maryland. Very cute but very very destructive to wildlife.
Some people even shoot / trap Nutria, as it's season is open year round
Im pretty sure the nutria population is almost non existent in Md these days.

Surprised no one mentioned feral pigs yet. Just a matter of time before they’re here.
I thought I read somewhere they exist on the Eastern Shore?

Nutria are large rodents that look like beavers with long, thin tails similar to muskrats. Nutria may weight up to 20 pounds and reach about 24 inches from tip of nose to tip of tail. Nutria have thick brown fur and orange front teeth. They are designed for aquatic life, with webbed feet and eyes, nostrils and ears located high on their heads to enable them to expose as little of their bodies as possible when breathing at the surface of the water.
Nutria are native to South America but have become established in 16 states in North America. Nutria were introduced to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in the 1940s, where they were farmed for fur. Currently, nutria can be found on the Eastern Shore of Maryland as well as in the Potomac and Patuxent rivers on the Western Shore.
USDA has been working on them a LONG time.
Few pockets left.

I like hunting Sika deer even though its regulated. They're invading everywhere, like rats.
