I pay little heed to "documentaries" about this.
This is an old photo and it's MUCH worse now.
Newer photos from Google Earth shows just how far into into the swamp the developers have gone.

Why do the snake hunters catch them alive and by hand? I thought the whole point of this is to rid Florida of invasive snake species.
“Anyone seen Fluffy?”
“Honey, didn’t we used to have 3 children?”
“Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?”
Apologies, seeing the picture of three people holding something that long, it was kind of a joke about which would be better, by the foot or by the pound. I did see the actual quote for the bounty give by the state. Thank you.
Pith? Had to look it up; didn't realize it was also an action verb.
No apology needed! I didn’t mean to come across as snarky:)
22 long rifle to the head of the snake.
That movie made me really like Samuel Jackson. He had to have had a great sense of humor to make it.
So, the enviro-biologists claim there are 200,000 + pyrhons in the everglades, and are proud of paying bounties when they kill 5000. I’m two years.
Wake me up when they are killing 50,000 per year.
Cut your grass or you will have more snakes in there. Meanwhile, you could get a lot of nice boots out of that dude.
When kill rate < breeding rate and no natural predators, they may be invasive but they have put down deep roots. Shame the crocks and alligators aren’t big enough to handle them. (Yes, FL has both alligators and crocodiles in that area.)
I’m not afraid of snakes, but I’d react to that one like when I find tomato hornworms on my tomatoes.
Honestly, if one of mine was suffering and too sick to survive, I’d have Himself cover its head with a towel and take a brick to it.
Absolutely no chance of any pain, at all.
:(
I’ll bet there are some guys out there making some decent money hunting snakes.
This sounds like a great retirement job. Out of curiosity, why don’t they just blow the head off with a shotgun?
I was wondering that too, but maybe not having to refrigerate it while you wait to have it verified is worth the hassle.
What makes you think it’s dead?
