Killing Pythons Lures Hunters to Florida Everglades

Killing Pythons for Cash Lures Hunters to Florida Everglades - Bloomberg: "The Florida contest is open to anyone who pays a $25 registration fee, signs a waiver of liability and reads a 36- page document that advises hunters to look for snakes basking in the morning sun along canal banks. Hunters can use legal weapons of their choice. The prize money comes from the fees and sponsors. Graham Rogers, 24, who convinced Danker-Feldman to sign-up, said he got some tips from rattlesnake hunters in Kentucky, where he grew up. Rogers, a New York University law school student who last hunted about a decade ago, said he’ll camp in the area when he’s not pursuing snakes. “A python is fairly dangerous,” Rogers said. “There’s definitely a turn-on about hunting something carnivorous that could, in theory, eat you.”"

Hope they are successful.
