Fascinating photo. We don't have any snakes here in N.Z. thankfully. Have tried Python in Queensland, Australia when doing E&E. Jolly good eating actually. In fact,we were so hungry, would have happily eaten the crotch out of a rag doll..
So what are these things eating in the Everglades to be so prolific?
But somebody in Florida told me in recent years that other non-native snakes have found their way into the ecosystem. This guy said "cobra" and maybe others, but a web search does not bring up anything about this.
I understand the pythons skins can be used, maybe just skin them out and leave the carcass. Bring the heads in for the cash reward.
Warren, I have found that the recoil in the Bond Arms not at all bad. The grip permits the recoil to go into the palm of the hand and not the web. 410 loads are not bad at all and now there are many different factory rounds to choose from.
I think that when the Taurus Judge series came out a few years ago,ammunition companies sat up and took notice.

Agreed Wayne, but some of the 3" loads are stiff. Going to look at the Judge, also the Smith Governor sometime. A friend of mine fully engraved this Snakeslayer. The stag grips are from their custom shop.
