Python killed in Florida- with 76 lb deer inside it

[oleheat]

How long before we have these things to deal with here? It doesn't sound like they've got a handle on them as far as spreading goes.....


Like we already don't have enough reasons to carry a firearm as it is...

It may become a problem in other neighboring states, but not gonna happen here. Despite what most people think about Florida and the Everglades, we have the most water of any state in the country and also the largest swamp in the country. The Basin dwarfs the Everglades and has a ****-ton more animals so large snakes like that would have far more competition than they do in Florida. On top of that, we have much more hunters in the swamp than Florida as well.

Why Louisiana does not have to worry about large snakes overtaking our wetlands. A Cajun will find a way to cook any animal and have it taste good too!

Substitute Rattlesnake with Python or Boa.

I've had rattlesnake, and it is quite tasty, too!
Looks like those pythons, would be plenty of good meat to eat...

Bring it out to a tailgate and watch it vanish before your eyes.

You stole my thoughts! I was gonna say- that's usually the state's attempt at a solution to an invasive species that hands them their ass....tell us they're a 'blessing' and that they're good to eat!

Now all they have to do is create a catchy name for it to make it sound a little more 'delicious'- like re-naming Asian Carp 'Silverfin'!

Looks like you could get some venison out of the deal too.

Might be a problem, here.

Is deer in or out of season in Florida. That's how to stop this s***. Sic the wildlife and fisheries folks on them.

Those snakes can't make it past North Florida because of the seasons. I'd say it probably gets too cold for them even down there with youse guys.

 

[grits]

They cant make it much further past the everglades much less north flordia. The numbers are no where near what they are reporting anyway.

Or when they tried putting nutria on restaurant menus as "marsh rabbit"

I must confess though that I've eaten nutria more than once, and it was great! Tasted just like chicken; very lean and non-gamey.

Bring em on!
I'll just get a longer rotisserie.

That is gold!

Plus the whole thing is just one big backstrap....Mmmm

It wont be long they will adapt here...climate is changing for sure!!!!

 

[Devilneck]

Florida has issues with gators too, because they are too worried about their feelings..

They're reptiles, they don't have feelings.. Well, other than hunger..

 

[I_FLY_LOW]

I have feelings too...
I have a feeling that some venison stuffed python would go good with a blackened alligator appetizer...

 

[Praesul Presul]

Damn that's big snake

 

[Mjolnir]

Didn't they find a python in the Lafayette area?
