Seriously have they done anything to allow people to hunt them to help thin them out?
Yes they have, I was actually getting ready to jump on a plane a few months ago and help. They had 2 major options, 1 where you killed the animal then turned it in, and another where you handed off the live animal to them where they then turned it in for research, that didnt last long and soon enough they were euthanizing the animals themselves.

It wasnt enough... they needed to stop being idiots and do it the right way... capture males and females, do whatever with the females then sterilize the males and release them. It's worked with so many species because the males compete with other males for females and sometimes win, combine that with a few other strategies and hope for the best.

that being said with people like Bob Clark selling snakes to anyone with a fat wallet... and idiots releasing their snakes, and idiots believing the media... what can you do.

Turning it in, that's no fun. Not much push for average people to go hunt them. A nice 20 foot burm skin for a jacket on the other hand, oh yeah.
