Heading to south Florida this week to do some python hunting

[sbisteve]

Has anyone else done this before? What do I need to expect? They want us to catch them alive instead of shooting them. Looking Forward to it. Going with my daughter and her friend.

That's awesome. Wonder why they want them alive. All those fuckers need to be dead.

 

[BamaRidger]

Carry plenty of weapons a knife is a must in case the snake is trying to choke you out.

I don’t know the answer to that. We shoot Iguanas, catch and kill gators but for some reason they want us to catch the pythons Alive. Either way I’m looking forward to it. I love adventures.

Ya they're so invasive and have a bounty on them so that's odd. Enjoy, take pictures.

That’s what’s crazy is you pay a guide then he turns the snakes in and gets paid again for the snakes. Who knows I might start taking people out to catch snakes after this trip lol.

Ha, you may be my guide to Cullman one day to meet your trailer home cousin.

 

[GarnetPild]

All you need to know about pythons, right here...be careful!

 

[Emma tenywa]

FDA should clear them as fit for consumption, or atleast let them be caught and shipped to China

Them motherfuckers have a hit list in Florida. They literally are paying bounty to kill them cocks jokers.

That’s funny you mentioned him. He is supposed to fly down this week and meet us there.
When we get back, I will definitely pm you and we will meet at Applebees in Cullman for some drinks. I’m telling you, they are there most any day of the week and you can’t miss them.

Make sure you don’t wear shoes. That’s what all the best snake hunter do. I’ve seen it on tv so it must be true.

The guide is selling them to people who make boots, belts, etc. with them? They need to be shot and left at the scene for alligator food.

That’s only natural after @tjhall sent his buttswhole pictures

[Jayhacker]

No thanks. I'll stick to eating rattlesnake off the menu.

Rattlesnake is very tasty.

Rattlesnake is very tasty.

I just can't see viper with the slippery skin being any good.

Skin isn't slippery. The meat is very good battered and fried.

Love that scene.

 

[sanction]

Need a couple cases of 12 gauge 3” magnum 4 shot.

Shoot a couple hundred of those bastards and tell the authorities you
didn’t catch any.

I'll take your word for it. Killed a rattler about 6 months ago but didn't have the stomach to eat it.

What does one do to prepare for python hunting?

I ate it first at one of the rattlesnake round-ups held in Texas yearly. They fried it and sold it. Tasty. They also had idiots see how many snakes could be put inside a sleeping bag with them inside. Or how many they could pick up and put in a box standing in a huge pit of snakes in a certain time frame.

They ask us to bring snake boots if we have them, pants and long sleeve shirt. I guess a good grip after that. As long as I’ve been taking this Trouser snake out of my pants and putting it back I should be ok.

You are going to want tall boots and long sleeve, think pants and heavy duty gloves. I’ve never done it but have friends that do. They love it but it’s not walk in the park. Hope you grab a big one.

 

[TopHook]

@sbisteve Get you some of these.

 

[Mmal7777]

@sbisteve Get you some of these.

Nailed. Even down to the Capri cig.

A couple hundred 3" magnums & I'd need an orthopedist to fix my shoulder.

We caught four that morning and called it a day. It got hot in a hurry down there.
We walked up on a snake ball with one big female and four males on top of her. While someone went back to the boat to grab the snake bags another male came in.
We caught the male coming in, the female and two of the males on top of her. Two of the males got away. It was an awesome hunt.
