Python hunting....

I found this interesting. almost twice as many have been caught as were two years back. At least one was 10 feet long.

You should be out there wearing your new cap helping them out.

Good for them. These snakes are an invasive specie that is devastating the everglades. They ought to put a bounty on them and make it a year round open season.

How exactly would you go about hunting them?

Do you go after them just like you would for Rattlers?

Only difference is you'll need a larger sack...

Pun intended?

so...
fixin's for Florida gumbo...
or fried fuaux Cajun gator tail!

Watch out for the green anaconda now.

Looks like they don't want you eating them. Python steaks

I'm from La. and some time back, they tried getting some of the famous La chefs to come up with Nutria recipes to help cull the population. At the end of the day, it was still a cooked rat, didn't go over well.

A python steak would certainly look interesting on the grill.

they have had success finding them in small island like area. Did you see the female in the pic wearing flip flops in the everglades

Is that the small island where Concho stays?

Thanks for that....I just blew beer out my nose....and it burns....

To clarify, python hunting requires one large sack. Two if one don't get it done...

In typical fashion there was a restricted ares to hunt in. I read where they had put a chip in some males hoping to track them to females. Go figure! I think a bounty would go a long way towards helping gain control.

Results are in and they got around 120 snakes on the roundup, the largest about 15 feet long. The winning team got 33 by themselves.

that's probably about 1% of what's out there
