Licenced hunters- One comment stated that their "Authorized Program" can "shoot" the python onsite...that goes against the rules the Florida FWC has on their website. It clearly states that no firearms are to be used. What's up with that? Why doesn't anyone follow the rules? I hate this. We're so screwed.

What are the requirements for capture?
Firearms and traps may not be used. The snakes can be captured by hand, with nets or snares. Pythons may be euthanized onsite by approved means, deposited at a location for euthanizing by a veterinarian, or transported to an approved facility to be used in research.
