Same here . Haven't seen one in years. Never see road kill either.
WINNING!
I found just the opposite. There claws are like treble hooks and hard to remove form the chum bag:wink

I'm much more concerned about controlling the population of the feral children running amok in the projects.
Mike Wenzel and Bo Benac I told you guys to lay low for a few weeks. :shrug

I'd support a tax increase to have those animals spayed and neutered.

I'm South of you outlaw..down in the Farms off the Trail. Hope they eat the Feral Cats and Dogs **** It..:cool
Better that than have to defend yourself against some cat fanatic. Those effers lose their minds when they hear about removal or killing. Several in my neighborhood, and they are absolutely insane, even when we currently have documented rabid feral cats in the area.

since about the time I found a python skin in the mangroves near my house.
not as many birds either
I can hear the birds being caught at night ... it sounds like a life and death struggle ... it's amazingly loud.
I got no problem with hunting and hunters, it's just not for me.

in the garden and pop them with my dad's old 22. It's a single shot rifle from the fifties but deadly accurate. We used to shoot them on my grandmothers farm and the farmhand would skin them and cook them on his hot plate. Apparently they are pretty tasty. Never eaten one myself so I can't vouch for it. Makes sense though. Strictly vegetarians. Couldn't be any worse than squirrel or rabbit.
Would not even try a cat. Although I imagine a Hmong may.

Hmong Squirrel Stew

Where Vietnamese food is refined and occasionally involved, Hmong food is more rustic -- it's the difference between Paris and Provence. So while this stew looks a little like Vietnamese pho, it's far simpler to make. It does call for a few unusual ingredients, but these can either be skipped or substituted. The result is a light, aromatic stew where the squirrel provides the meaty base note to an array of bright flavors. Each bite will be different, but wonderful. If you don't have squirrels handy, rabbit or chicken thighs are good substitutes.
Course: Soup
Cuisine: Southeast Asian
Serves: 6 people
Author: Hank Shaw
Ingredients
2 squirrels, cut into serving pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 stalk of lemongrass, white part only, minced
3 to 5 red chiles, chopped
1 tablespoon minced galangal (optional)
2 tablespoon minced ginger, peeled
1 quart chicken stock
6 lime leaves or 1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
1 pound bok choy or chard, chopped
1/4 pound snow peas
1 teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorns (optional)
Salt
GARNISH
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup chopped mint
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot such as a Dutch oven. Pat the squirrel pieces dry and brown them over medium-high heat in the oil. Remove them as they brown and set aside.
Add the garlic, lemongrass, galangal, ginger and chiles and stir-fry over high heat for 90 seconds.
Return the squirrel to the pot and add the chicken stock, lime leaves and fish sauce. You want the broth to cover everything by about an inch. If it does not, add some water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the meat wants to fall off the bone, between 1 hour and 2 hours. Remove the meat and shred it off the bones. Return it to the pot.
Add the bok choy and the snow peas and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Add salt to taste and the ground Sichuan pepper.
You can serve it as-is in bowls, or over some steamed rice in a bowl. Garnish with the cilantro, green onions and mint.
There's got to be a high-tech way to deal with the invasive snakes.
The nests must be found and destroyed, and the breeders killed.
Whether it's by infra-red, satellite, or scent ... search and destroy.
No closed season, no quarter given.
A few months ago, in a S. Florida State Park, we saw a flurry of activity.
Several vehicles, and a handful of staff, were surrounding a patch of greenery.
They had sighted an Iguana, and were making a concerted effort to kill it.
The critter got away ... but it was good to see that the issue was taken seriously..
They hit 4 feet long and it,s Lemon Pepper Grill time. I wish I had more of them.
Nobody screaming and crying and the Law showing up either...
It's really fairly simple.
Put a bounty on them. Even sweeten the pot with a new boat or pickup truck for most killed.
Make it illegal to import, own or posses one.
