Why can’t they do with pythons what they do with humans - modify their DNA to make them infertile?

It isn’t how many you remove that’s important. It’s how many are still left.

Two things:
First you left Democrats off your list
Second, and this is just my opinion, 300 blackout is overkill for the species you listed.

"300 blackout is overkill for the species you listed."

Supersonics, yes, maybe... although I tend to be a fan of using a sufficient caliber to make sure that what gets shot stays shot.

Subsonics are a different matter. These are roughly ballistically equivalent to a .45acp, except you have a spitzer bullet. Only effective out to 150 yards, if that. But with the undergrowth here, it's rare to get a shot that's half that distance.

I was told by my granny that were supposed to be natural fences for cattle. We have some on the farm and they do work like hedgerows. Problem is they work like hedgerows and expand every time an stem reaches the ground it sprouts roots and becomes thicker.
It takes up valuable space and is a hassle to keep bushhgged.

Dustin Crum won the prize for the biggest python removed, having captured a snake measuring 11 feet and 24 inches.

Exactly! Johnson grass was also brought in probably for the same reason.

My favorite Youtube channels are the iguana hunters who use air rifles......looks like a lot of fun with an incredible number of targets.“

I’ll have to look for that!
