Chootin' em doesn't make for acceptable TV these days. But chootin' em is fine as far as FL is concerned.Ok, despite being a FL resident for quite a few years, why is it they cannot just "choot'em?"
What's the rationale there?
Good read but why one needs a permit to kill massively invasive species puzzles me. There are even monitor lizards and Anacondas scurrying about down there. Ecological disaster really.
I have a client that is on the python team in Miami. You can shoot them. But shooting them is not an effective means of eliminating them. They are now more in interested in tracking them and finding the nests. Most of the pythons they get now are on the sides of roads or canals. Barely a dent in the total population.
A lot of the ones in Fl. now went down the toilet and through the sewer system and survived.
If you hit that little pea-sized brain they have, yeah. Otherwise, no. Reptiles in general are pretty resilient to injuries.Well, if I still lived in FL, and one of those mofo's showed up in my back yard; and especially if one of those monitor lizards did, I'd feel obligated to discharge a weapon. I'm just guessing, but unlike snakes in the "normal" Southeast, one could not dispose of this with a 38 spl with "rat shot" in it; though I never tried that approach myself. My favored choice for cottonmouth growing up was a 410 double barrel shotgun with #6 - fast work of them.
That said, would a 25cal air-gun kill one of those snakes?
