Could be John. I'd want something a bit heavier than a .22, .357, or even a .223. The latter two would work in a head shot though. Especially .357 in hollow point . Negant would work well!

I'll just have to get off my lazy butt and clean it. Might make that the project for tomorrow. I did find some ammo for the thing at WalMart, so at least I can give him something to get started with.

They are recommending them to people in East Naples right now. We have had folks coming home to black bears ripping into their screen cage and lounging by the pool. I know Harry says there have not been any bear attacks in Maryland. That is because there didn't used to be any bears. Once you get them, you see attacks. The kind they will have in the suburbs are the most dangerous because they are not going to be afraid of people and they associate people with food because people feed them, intentionally or unintentionally..

If pythons can eat a gator or a deer they can get a small kid with ease. That's a gruesome thought!

I think it is safe to assume they can live anywhere an alligator can live but you guys have snakes up there in snow country.

feed the bears?
Yes Greg. We do have snakes up here but not really of a swamp variety except for copperheads. They usually find a field mouse or rat hole and burrow in for the winter and hibernate. Don't know if a python could do that but i suppose about anything is adaptable if they can figure it out.
|
feed the bears?
Greg, I suppose they can adapt in the metro sewer systems. People have been known to flush snakes and even baby gators down the toilets and they survive on rats and refuse.

Shot one that was raiding a hog farmers barley cooker. Grain fed bear. Yummmmmm. He shot one one time, that was inedible. Worst piece of meat I ever came across was some mystery meat in the chow hall at Keesler air base. 3000 people eating and I do not think a pound was consumed. |
