Florida Man Hunting Iguanas Misses and Shoots Nearby Pool Guy Instead

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A Florida woman has warned parents to protect their children after an iguana hunter shot her pool maintenance technician.

On Friday, pool maintenance workers arrived at the property where E-Lyn Bryan lives in the coastal city of Boca Raton, southeastern Florida. At the same time, an iguana hunter armed with a pellet gun was patrolling the residence, NBC 6 South Florida reported.

Bryan told the broadcaster she went outside to see what the workers were doing. Recalling the moment she saw a man she described as her "pool guy" get shot, she told the broadcaster: "I heard him scream on the top of his lungs 'oww' and he had blood coming out of his leg."

Bryan realized the pool worker had been struck by a man looking for iguanas. "He was shot by the hunter," said Bryan.

According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, green iguanas are considered pests as they damage sidewalks, seawalls and landscape plants.

Nevertheless, the Boca Raton resident urged others to be cautious when it comes to controlling the population.

3. Iguanas are "hunted"

why?

[bluecollar2]

6. Because they are very destructive

And there aren't enough pythons to control them?

[sir pball]

10. Uh, the pythons are being hunted to extinction too

As they should be

[Roland99]

12. It's been stated by FWC that residents can kill iguanas

Due to their destructive nature and exploding population

9. residents were encouraged to kill

by the state. No instructions on how but this is probably the way it will go. Urban hunters shooting citizens.

I live in So Fla and they are all over the place. Three live under my deck and I have a bunch in my black olive tree. I don't have a problem with them but my neighbors do.
The last time I looked up in the Fla Fish and wild live web they basically said to call a trapper. Now thing might have changed. No poison, no trap and drowning and no shooting. They are a huge pest down here, like the pythons in the everglades. Both of my neighbors have pools and the iguanas crap all over their back yard getting to the water. Mango trees are ravaged by them.. How do you deal with unwanted pests?

Shoot to kill … and eat. That's become the new method for limiting the out-of-control green iguana population in Puerto Rico. Volunteers in the island territory have begun patrolling for the pesky lizard in an effort to reduce its numbers. Meat from iguanas can become part of the human diet. Even restaurants in the continental United States are starting to import iguana meat, which can be prepared in many different ways.
