Iguana Hunting day in South Florida
- Thread starter orion
- Start date
Well done my man! Keep those iguanasin check.
I keep hearing/reading about the iguana issues in SF (South Florida). Where is the line that determines what is considered South Florida? Do the iguanas only go so far north or have they not spread there yet, in enough numbers, to be considered a problem?
I have family in the Orlando area and they haven’t heard that there is a problem with iguana in FL so I’m wondering if the iguana haven’t made it up there yet or they won’t go that far?
I don't think they will reach Orlando, because the temperatures there can reach freezing point and that will kill them, they need warm weather, and that's exactly the problem here in SF, we haven't had any cold winter in a few years, and we are seeing an explosion on their numbers. I think you can have iguanas in big numbers from West Palm Beach down.
Well that's makes sense.
Keep on popping those buggers and I'll keep watching! Just don't shoot the pool boy....
Lol, I laugh now but this is really scary, people don’t paying attention. That’s dangerous and can damage the sport.

My understanding is that the iguanas don't range much past northern Broward county. Like Orion said, a good freeze lasting three or more days, and the iguana problem is over. As for what constitutes South Florida? It's not a geographical thing so much as a cultural one. Trust me. Like nowhere else.

I have a bunch of people asking me for the same... I just want to create a good relationship on this permission and later I can ask them about bringing people with me. They are very careful, they even make William stay with me at all times.
I'll keep this in mind, hey if you don't mind send me an email to [email protected] so I keep track of everyone that is interested in the future

First I don't like the water where this iguanas are living, second, if I eat all the iguanas I kill I'll need 20 freezers at home to store them. My goal is to reduce the numbers at that property, I really wish I can find anyone that can use them, hate to throw them away, but it's the only option I have now..

First, because lizard. It's just not for dinner in my house. When you cut into them they smell like fish, look like beef, and have a pork consistency when cooked. Anything that smells like fish and ain't fish, is off my menu. Full freaking stop.
Here in South Florida, there are a number of immigrant communities from the islands, and Central and South America that do eat them. I would vastly prefer they be eaten, like Orion said, but eaten or not, they must die. All of them. I like shooting and hunting, but I would be fine with a nice three-day spell of 30 or so degree highs. That would be that for them. Not likely to happen here, though.
