Those licensed by the state get paid minimum wage, they have to take the snake live to a station. They also get paid extra for each foot in length of the snake over 4 foot(I think its about $25 a foot). From there the snake is killed, measured weighed, stomach contents are inspected, and then the entire snake is turned over to the hunter. He can then do what he wants with it, sell the meat, make items out of the skin, etc.
I was certified last year for the Python challenge in January, but spinal fusion surgery caused me to miss the hunt. |

That is the wife's favorite program. She laughs like hell watching them catch those fucking snakes. I told her that the camera crew was probably in the car that was supposedly stealing the snakes. Yeah, they add drama to the show, but watching those guys catching snakes is entertaining. I sure as hell wouldn't do it. |

I went out and did it with some friends, and it seems like if it's something you want to pursue full time, it will bring some money, but for the weekend warrior it isn't worth your time.
And it's also screwy whether you can kill it or need to capture it alive depends on where you get it. |

On Mountain Monsters they watched the Other Team kidnapping Bigfoot. |

They probably don't want some douche photographing a dead snake they found in the woods and trying to get paid.

Honestly, take your time with healing and rehab. Dealt with a close loved one post surgery. Not something you want torush. |

They want to measure the snakes and determine the stomach contents to see what the snakes are eating.
It's probably easier to assess the health, size, weight and etc of the snakes if they come in live. Ya kill them first and they lose a piece when you hack them up, the blood drains out, they start to rot, etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don’t understand why they don’t just shoot them then take them in ? Fuck catching them From doing my usual Google FU it seems licensed snake agents can kill them. I imagine the TV snakes hunters capture them alive for ratings and to prevent PETA retards going ape shit about it. Seems like the FL wildlife agency prefers them dead and not to transport them. |

It seems to me that if this is a true infestation , Florida would open this hunting up to everyone and place a bounty on them.
Did I read right? 35 authorized hunters? What will that do? |
