Snakehead found in Georgia

[LVSteve]

Invasive and nasty with it. The instructions regarding photography caught my eye. Are they trying to narrow the precise species or tracking evolutionary features?

Geese, all the evasive species down here we are mandated to "Euthanized them humanly" Which makes no sense to me but hey it's the "right thing to do"
OH look a Cane Toad, snake, lizard, fish etc lets catch it and place it in a freezer so it doesn't suffer

 

[charlie sherrill]

A well placed shotgun blast usually causes little suffering. As far as the python problem in Florida, if they ever get here the people around here will show them no mercy. If I'm on a deer stand and a feral pig shows up it then becomes a pig hunt. We don't waste the dead pigs by leaving them lying on the ground. They're pretty tasty, especially the smaller ones after they've been smoking for a few hours. We also have Eurasian doves around here. They taste just as good as the mourning dove and there's no bag limit on an invasive species.

Rule3, I'm just curious........does your wildlife officials provide a "definition" of what is considered humane euthanasia?? There are groups like PETA and the Humane Society that think everything is inhumane ....... except when they kill thousands of cats and dogs.

A few good whacks to the head should do the trick. This tool has that fish's name written all over it!

I hope they never migrate to Kaliforniastan. The idiots here would try to make it a protected species...

Too late, they are already in Kalifornistan. At least they have caught individuals there. There are breeding populations in Hawaii, Florida and Maryland. They have caught individuals in California, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Wisconsin. And evidently now Georgia.

Boil them in oil, preferably in a Griswold skillet.

Well since you asked we shall have training from UF
There will be a test after.
I find a shovel to work well on most land based critters!


Numb, chill freeze. What could be better than putting toads in the kitchen freezer??

I take it that Bufos ain't the lickin' kind.

 

[brucev]

Humane? Is that a joke? If so, it is a bad joke. For my part ... I'll just deal with the little beasties w/ the care and compassion of a caveman. Sincerely. bruce.

I think you will only do it once!

It's hard to get...

It's hard to get all of the chemicals needed for a lethal injection. What do they want us to do?

 

[steelslaver]

Lethal injection/ To me that involves some form of heavy metal, usually lead

Let me begin, before I offend some folks, that I was born and raised in South Dakota where the Ring Neck Pheasant is the state bird and I spent a lot of years hunting Pheasant, in addition to Sharp Tailed Grouse and Greater Prairie Chicken (both species collectively referred to as "prairie grouse" in SD).

Pheasants have minimal impact on Sharp Tailed Grouse populations, mostly because a Sharp Tailed Grouse will almost always kick Pheasant butt if the two come in conflict and get in a fight over forage or breeding areas.

However, a Greater Prairie Chicken *always* loses a fight with a Pheasant with the result that Pheasants have played a significant role in the decline of Greater Prairie Chicken populations.

Interestingly, Sharp Tailed Grouse are very tolerant of the Greater Prairie Chicken, and conflict between the two species is extremely rare. Meaning Sharp Tailed so not have any significant impact on breeding and forage access of the Greater Prairie Chicken. They *could* but they *don't* as they are not intolerant jerks like the Pheasant.

The point here being that despite its widespread popularity, the Ring Neck Pheasant does have a negative impact on the native Greater Prairie Chicken and does meet the definition of a invasive species. It's just that state game management agencies all look the other way as there's big money in pheasant hunting.

Personally, I don't enjoy hunting Pheasants more than "prairie grouse" and I'd be just as happy if the Ring Neck Pheasant had never been introduced in the US or were eliminated. We'd have more grouse and in particular more prairie chicken to hunt and life would still be good.

Flame away....

Y'all just wait for the bufuhead.

When it happens I'm gonna blame it on Pythogators.

We got some serious problems down here.

Kinda sorry I asked.....I like your shovel method better than the video suggestion.

I always tried to kill as many of those birds from the commie
countries, {pheasants) that I could. Trouble was the states
wanted to put a limit on the number you could kill.
