Guess this up close and personal sighting doesn't count, LOL.

I've got that picture and wanted to post it. Couldn't find it. Thanks.  It was bugging me. From memory that isn't a game camera picture but was taken by a guy set up 20yards away. Might even have been an archer.Have you noticed they have quota turkey hunts in what is called a Panther Refuge section off 29.  I didn't apply. Forgot

Just tell the rednecks those pythons make good BBQ and they'll clean 'em up.   

When I was down chasing Osceolas a couple years back, I was actually HOPING to find one.  But I guess I wasn't far enough south.  Only 2 snakes I saw were of the non-toothy and non-constricting.

Hey Joey by insulting a member on this site it's against the rules you need to apologize to me for your vulgar remarks for saying bite me it's not acceptable.

Guy on floridaoutdoorforums.com had a link to buy wallets and several other items made from python skins.  Pricey but pretty neat. That forum looking for new blood. Give it a look.

I thought I heard recently that Florida Outdoor forums had closed up shop.

The long running Florida Sportsman site did fold. 
A decent replacement for Florida info is:
floridaoutdoorforums.com
Mostly the same crowd, very little moderation, free to say what you want. Not for the thin skinned.

It would look good on the wall.

Well, I don't look good in handcuffs so I opted to take a picture. Florida panthers are a protected species.

I had a feeling that was you CAPTJJ.  The thought it was an archer's picture stuck in my mind.  That picture has been around a long time.  Almost thought I first saw it posted on the old NWTF form.  About a zillion guys downloaded it at the time.  I've seen it pop up on multiple forums over the years.
Protected is an understatement.  The last time I heard of a panther poaching from the Collier County area the reward started at $5,000. There are a few black bears down in that general area also usually making themselves known when they raid a trash can.  This is one crazy state.  LOL.

Lol.  The most excitement I get is bobcats stalking my Funky Chicken.  Been to BC several times.  Almost too old for the area.  Nothing I've seen that doesn't require some exertion to access.  Lots of exertion.  I have one GPS on my Garmin that I've named "2far".  I skip that one.

You kill a bird in Big Cypress or South Glades on foot you've done something and can brag. Bubba

Those freaking pythons are a major problem.  They have decimated the smaller mammal population. God help our turkeys.

Talked to a guy in the local BassPro the other day that has a camp down there. Say's the only game left is a few Turkey's and lots of bears. Bubba

After all the Monkey science the Government has put into them now they're just plain ole Cougars. No different then any other big cat. Probably no different then the cougars in Texas. Which they trapped and released here. Bubba
