All we need is a bounty combined with a bunch of air boats, red necks
and shot guns and the whole problem will be solved in no time. The
park service never considers the obvious solutions. :-)
The whole thing could be organized like a bass tournament with a Le
Mans start everyday, sponsorship money, and a Snake Hunter channel on
cable TV. Behind every problem is an opportunity !

They can't have it both ways. Someone's going to have to hunt or trap
