Anyone else watch that Iguana chick in Florida shooting the Iguanas with the 22 Brocock PCP ,,,, She is a darn good shot but walking around with a gun that looks like that she has some balls,, I do not no anything about Florida but In Texas someone would take you out pretty fast...

Reminds me of the true story about the guy that worked for Walmart shooting sparrows with a PCP and someone saw him inn his motel room with the gun,, Cops stormed room and shot him...

I noticed that in some scenes she also shoots up in trees with her backstop being condos in the background in some of her videos. While she is a good shot, I don't agree with some of her tactics. Glad she's taking out the iguanas, but it only takes a few complaints from residents to say she's shooting in an unsafe manner around houses or condos. I don't want to see her get in any trouble but I wish she wasn't shooting up into trees.

I watch a lot of her stuff. She often talks about turning down the power on those type shots. And she is usually under a contract with the homeowner or apt. company and even schools to take out the iguanas. I have heard her mention once something about license and/or insurance too. Plus I think the people there are glad to get rid of the iguana poop all over everything. There are some more videos of other guys doing the same so maybe it's not unusual for people to see that going on.

Yes she is a damn good shot. "GOT'CU IGUANA"

I don't know. She seems like she knows what she's doing. I saw condos in the background but never saw her shooting in thier direction. Maybe I missed it but I am pretty sure she didn't. Iguana are a ruthless invasive species and most people in Florida are used to seeing people shooting them or even bermese pythons. Anyway Florida is kind of special because they have such a problem with them. They destroy everything and the local wildlife have no defense against them. Anyway I think she does good work.

Iguanas are totally out of control in my area; they locked down a school recently when somebody spotted a guy with an air rifle hunting them along a canal. The police apprehended him, but didn't press charges and even hooked him up with an experienced hunter to mentor him - nice end to the story. The chick has a lifelong job - Florida would be a varmint hunters dream except for the building boom expansion and it's increasing exponentially.

The missed shots VERY likely went into waterways or woods. Be reasonable and stop making 'couch safety guy' assumptions.

Oh no! You didn't! We don't need no stinkin' common sense being' talked here!

Stop messing with the couch warriors.

The safety patrol will now commence the persecution!

Thank You. Maybe the 'safety patrol' needs a 'safety break' to chill out.

Maybe she should dress up like a cop and wear a fake badge of some sort (obviously not using it to actually impersonate an officer) to make people more comfortable? Gotcha iguana, Iguana Enforcement! She could wear a vest or a windbreaker with I.C.E. on it, Iguana Cop Enforcement ... That might make some people uncomfortable as well though.

She has mentioned the mentioned having a back stop or knowing what is behind the condos when she misses. She is careful and well aware of the liability issues.



She did have the cops show up once. She placed the rifle on the ground and walked away from it way before the cops got out of their cars. She may look and sound like a hillbilly girl, but she ain't stupid.

I am no safety policeman, but I will say that if we don’t have people calling out dangerous activities (not saying what she is doing is unsafe, but it sure doesn’t look like something I would do) then eventually we will have regulations on air guns too... just like in canada and Europe. My neighbors are still a little cautious about me shooting in the backyard as they have dogs etc in their backyards, but I called the sheriffs office and had them come out and check how and where I was shooting... all good and ok’ed by the five oh.

I went through this in my hobby of flying drones too... now its regulated and people hate them cause of a few fools that flew them where and when they weren’t supposed to.... and filmed it. Don’t want this to happen to air guns.
