Yeah, THATS why no one wants to do it!There’s much better things to do than that. Hard pass for me. Do you know how hot it is in august in the south?
Agreed. Hard pass for me too. Stomping around in the marsh grass that's over your head, getting tore up by bugs in 110-degree heat and no shade, dodging a shitload of moccasins and momma gators whose eggs should Just be hatching in late August. I mean I'd go, but I'll drive and keep an eye on the truck.There’s much better things to do than that. Hard pass for me. Do you know how hot it is in august in the south? September or October would be better riding in the truck on back roads when they come to the road to keep body temps up, oh yeah and then there’s beer!
or take somebody slower for bait/decoyAgreed. Hard pass for me too.

I’d rather go for gaters than those things.
My brother will be doing just that this year, perhaps me right along with him.
He wants me to comedown and go huntin with him to get his first one ever. According to what he told me, resident military veterans are allowed to harvest one a year at either no cost or very limited cost. He has a permit for one this year already to go. He's suppose to give ample warning/time when he wants me to fly down and jump aboard his boat to head out and get'em one.
His boat...

P.S. - he's been texting me photos of them over the past few days so, I know he's definitely on the mission to get himself one for sure. He cracks me up!

You might want to talk to him again to make sure he isn't confused. You have to apply and be drawn for a permit and it comes with two tags. For a resident it's like $272, and for those disabled or over 65 it's $22. Non-residents it's like $1,200. There aren't any veterans clauses. Just make sure he understands it correctly because if he's confused and harvests one without the proper CITES tag they'll put him under the jail for it.
