The state ought to pay a bounty, not by snake, but by the foot. i.e. 1 x 12’ foot snake = 2 x 6’. This approach emphasizes quantity and quality :-)

Depends on the choke. I would think something like a x-tra full turkey choke and a load of high brass #2’s would do the job.

I doubt seriously that a tricked out street gun is what is called for in the Glades. It no doubt requires a stock They can also double as a boat oar.
