Hunter Captures Record-Setting 122 Pound Python in the Everglades

Big Government: A python hunter in Florida broke his own record last Thursday when he captured a 122-pound python in the Florida Everglades.

Dusty Crum captured the nearly 17-foot long Burmese python October 26 as part of the South Florida Water Management District’s “Python Elimination Program,” WESH reported.

Crum told the Palm Beach Post that he discovered the snake in the water at 11 p.m. that day and that the catch tested his limits.

“It was an unbelievable match,” Crum said. “I’ve never been tested like that before.”

Crum said he beat his own record that he set in May when he caught a 16-foot 10-inch python.

Crum, who works as an orchid dealer by day, said he began hunting after the South Florida Water Management District launched the “Python Elimination Program” in March.

According to the South Florida Water Management District website, approved python hunters get paid minimum wage—approximately $8.10 per hour—to hunt down and kill invasive pythons in the Everglades that threaten the natural ecosystem.  more/video

  1. Democrats and way too many republicans in DC are reptiles which is a well known fact. Pythons are reptiles. Can’t we create a national “Python Elimination Program” to get rid of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats in DC?

    It would create jobs and boost the economy for years to come based on the astronomical number of pythons residing in DC swamp and the surrounding area. I call that a “win / win” for America and for President Trump.

    MAGA!
