Florida proposes 24-hour-a-day alligator hunting

Florida may extend its alligator hunt.

Hunting seasons across the country are regularly scheduled, with some lasting for only brief windows of time. In Florida, the alligator hunting season only allows the animals to be harvested at night. That may change, however.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife has proposed adding additional daytime hours to the hunt, the Tampa Bay Times reports If this change were to be implemented, it would open the hunting time frame to 24-hours a day.

Alligators are typically more active at night, which makes it a prime time to hunt them.

The proposal was met with both favorable and negative reactions.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, some hunting guides were in favor of the additional hours. They argued that many of their clients say that it’s difficult to find time in their schedules for night hunts. Opening the hunt to daytime hours would allow more people to participate.

Better start hunting them down before Revelation 6:8 kicks in. Once the fear of man is removed by God, all beasts are going to feast on man.

For the rest of you fence sitters, it is time to come to Christ.

Boa constrictors need some serious culling, too.

OkeeDokee, I’ll do the daylight hunting, you fools stumble around at night when the beasties are foraging.

As to nutria. Awww! Those cute little hamsters? They like the water, too, so they are extra clean!

The only thing that can save FL from the Boas (as I’ve been told from a UM professor friend) is 4 days of sub 30 degree weather in Miami. That’s all.

I think you can hunt Boas 24-7-365. They are a big problem - no more foxes and rabbits in the glades.

I’ve seen the size of some of those monsters; send-in leftists first to bait them, and then use a AA Beowulf AR-50cal w/ 375gr loads.

Now they need to expand the 24/7 hunt to anacondas, pythons, nutria, tegu, iguanas, cane toads, and wild hogs.

Geez, Florida has a LOT of invasive species.
