There is a reason why the Creator put the harder p*cker on a younger man.

$1,000 per day...pretty good pay for a 19 year old. You have to admire his tenacity and gumption to accomplish what he did.

“participants had to document that each one was killed humanely.”

LOL...now how do you do that? Take a video of how you dispatched each one? Is dropping them into a tree chipper humane?

These contest operators probably would get upset if they knew how I dispatched 77 squirrels devouring my orchard fruit.

You have to put a time limit that is just shorter than the gestational period.

“Captive Burmese pythons let loose by Hurricane Andrew’s destruction in 1992 have flourished in the southern Florida ecosystem”

This statement sounds like BS.

Unfortunately, it is true. Thousands of homes were wrecked by Hurricane Andrew, including many with pythons as pets that escaped into the wild. In addition, some python breeding facilities for the pet trade were wrecked, leading to even more being getting into the wild.

Turn wild python into a delicacy and that will solve the problem.

Troy Landry tried eating Python. He said it tasted like somebody cooked a tire off his Jeep.
