Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ll never understand the thought process that makes someone feel bad about killing nuisance animals. Especially invasive species. Shoot with a pellet gun. Cut them open. Through in lake. Done Prairie Dogs explode. Have shot many. Never have eaten one. (of course) Not one damn GAF about it either. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Seasoned right, iguana isn't bad. A friend of mine moved to Honduras, he said it was a delicacy down there and as a result it was protected, illegal to eat.( not that it stopped anyone from selling them alongside the road. When he was alive we were trying to think of an angle to export the nuisance iguanas from Florida to Honduras. We never seriously looked into it past beer talk. |

Yes, shoot them all. They're invasive. No different than anacondas in Florida.

Yep, slaughter them wholesale, they're an invasive species. A friend of mine down there uses a pellet gun on them; she chops the body into chunks for her crab traps or tosses them in the waterway near her house for the gators, turtles, catfish, etc to eat.

My three nieces living in west palm area had a wonderful easter hatching of baby ducks in their back yard. One day while enjoying the fl sun watching their new pet ducks play...a large iguana showed up and promptly massacred the entire flock.
I would take the time to figue out how to skin then out and cook them just in case you need that skill fown the road. |

I have also witnessed one attack a 7 yr old kid and put a hurt on him requiring many stitches...we were throwing rocks at it first because it was hissing at us and making feint charges trying to scare us out from under a large mango tree. |

Iguanas don't eat other animals or destroy local ecosystems! Gamo Whisper .22 is where it's at. Ammo still available, extremely effective, incredibly fun, and completely legal (just be careful of your backstop and remember rule #4). |

In 1994 Mom and Dad moved to Cape Coral for Moms retirement home job.
One time of the iguanas running across the brand new pool cage tearing up the screen was enough for my parents to buy air rifles and kill the fuckers. When they moved to Port Charlotte a few years later squirrels took priority... |

Absolutely. I’ve never eaten an iguana but that’s why BBQ sauce was invented. It makes anything taste good. I thought iguanas were a varmint in FL with year round, no limit.

They are all over the Keys, and some of those suckers are big. When you are driving down the Keys, especially in the afternoon, you will see them stretched out on the side of the road, sunning themselves. Always trying to get my husband to veer of the roadway and just run them over, but, no, we never do what I want, lol. When it gets too cold for them, they drop out of the trees. That is the time to pick them up, throw them in a sack, and stick them in your bait freezer until they are totally dead.
Had one in the yard one time and that is the only usurper that my chi/weenie/beagle Buddy did not kill. He wanted it bad but just did not know how to attack it and was he ever baying. He had it cornered. |
