Central Oregon farms and ranches are infested with ground squirrel vermin.
Our team of six, “The Cullmasters”, were

hired by a new client who stated that he lost $127,000 last year due to the vermin eating his alfalfa on his 100 acre farm.
We eliminated 1,237 rodentia in 12 hours, but hardly put a dent in their population.

Phosgene. Smells like fresh cut hay.

Shooting round tails is fun but not effective control. They spend almost all the time in their holes. If he can "loose" that much on 100 acres of alfalfa he can afford to have a biologist come out and design an extermination program. Most States have programs that provide resources for controlling infestations.

Man what a day that must have been! Rifle heaven!

He could make his loss back this spring by charging shooters $100 a day to hunt.

Our team is booked solid for the duration of the season.

Those eggs look delicious!

Some fancy restaurant could put one on a cracker and sell it for $40.

They might as well at the price of eggs over here 60/$28 large chicken eggs, we sell these at 100/ $30. I will say the taste of these when cooked is similar in taste to parmesan crisp, it's better when mixed with chicken eggs.

You are actually eating those lizard eggs? I thought I was making a joke.

Things are a bit different in Florida què no?

I suppose eating menudo and tongue tacos aren't any stranger than lizard eggs. They make tamales here with blood and chocolate.

I'd eat a lizard egg taco. I'm drawing the line at ground squirrels though.

Lengua tacos are as good as it gets.

How many lizard eggs does it take to make an omelet?

The Cajuns say you can make gumbo out of anything that can crawl, swim, or fly.
