Hunting down Iguanas (angry Karen)

As many of you guys know, we have a lots

of invasive species in the state of

Florida. From iguanas to pythons to hogs

to parakeetses to her

out here.

>> There's a lot of invasive species in the

state of Florida. But today

specifically, we are focusing on the

iguanas down in South Florida. They are

everywhere. And let me tell you, today

is a terrible day to be an iguana cuz

[music] me and my buddy Python Cowboy

are teaming up to put an absolute beatd

down on these iguans. And Python cowboy

is famously known for removing invasive

species. And he removes just about

everything. So today's only mission is

remove as many iguanas as possible and

have as much fun as possible. But little

spoiler alert here. We do run into some

people that don't want us to have as

much fun as we are having.

>> We're about to have the cops call.

>> But before we go iguana hunting, I've

been promising Kayla to do a little home

makeover, a little redo, little little

spice at our house. And today, thanks to

Next Level Curbing, we were able to make

that happen. She's been bugging me

because our pool apparently doesn't have

any sunlight, which is crazy because

that doesn't even make sense to me. So,

she wanted concrete outside of the pool

cage so that she could get more sun. And

these guys were even working in the

pouring rain and they were puking

because it was so hot.

>> Good, good, good. Freaking hot.

>> Doing good work, man. What we do? The

>> concrete's about to go down. About to

have the pad. What do you think, K? I'm

>> excited.

I can tan forever now.

>> You know, I just want you to know there

were multiple people puking yesterday

because the heat index was about 110.

So, I really hope this tanning pad is

worth it [laughter]

cuz look, you put some people through

hell yesterday.

>> They were either puking or they were

drenched because [music] they were in

the rain. It was pretty brutal out

there. And usually I'm pretty good at

telling Kayla no, but I figured she was

due for some, I don't know, some

spoiling. And I got to stack up some

brownie points [music] for hunting

season. So, you know, she'll let me go

hunting. and so that we can go on this

iguana hunt cuz I keep leaving her.

Heck, man, they even threw me in to help

with the conquer. And all I got to say

is I will be keeping my day job because

this is brutal work and I respect

anybody who does it. Whan and his crew

came to my [music] house at 2:00 in the

morning to start working. Drove 2 and

1/2, maybe even 3 hours to get to the

job site. These guys are the hardest

working people I know and they did a

fantastic job putting down a new slab

for Kayla for her tanning pad, whatever

the hell that is, and help fix our pool.

These guys are great guys and I would

recommend them to do any concrete work

you would possibly need in the state of

Florida. Make sure you hit up Next Level

Curving to get all of your concrete work

done today. got a little bit south, just

a [music] little bit north of the

Georgia line. [singing]

[music]

>> And now that Kayla's got her brand new

concrete slab that she's been bugging me

about, it's time to go hunt down some

iguanas, which you all have been waiting

for.

>> Let's go stack some iguanas, baby.

>> All right, we're downtown. We're here to

take out the iguanas. My boy Mike Python

Cowboy, he called me up and said, "Dude,

we got an iguana problem. need you to

come shoot these things. So, goal for

this video, we have to try and shoot

more iguanas than we did last time,

which was 30. Other goal, I'm going to

try and make a purse out of all the

iguanas we shoot today for Kayla because

she's been asking me for one of those

expensive purses, and you know, I'm very

frugal. I don't like to spend money. So,

what we're going to do is try and make

one out of the iguana leather. We got

the Texas boys here. They know how to

shoot. We got some shooters on the boat.

Today's mission, take out as many

iguanas because they are destroying

Florida. And uh we're doing we're doing

God's work today.

>> [music]

>> My boys from Texas.

Nice to meet you, Mike.

>> These are our air guns we'll be using.

Treat them like a firearm. They're very

powerful. Uh the ones you'll be using

today are 25 caliber. They're

semi-automatic.

You'll have eight shots before we need

to reload y'all. You know, I'll have you

guys up on the front of the boat

shooting with the guns in your hands the

whole day. I've had a number of people

shoot the boat. I know y'all won't do

that. Just be careful.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Um, these iguanas are tough as hell.

They can take like 10 shots [music] to

the body and keep going. It's pretty

incredible. Aim for their head,

eyeballs, the sweet spot. Wait for me to

tell you to start shooting. Point them

out with a laser. If y'all see something

I don't see, you can set up on it. Be

like, "Hey, I got a lizard here." And

I'll either tell you to blast them or

I'll get you a safe angle where you can.

We got houses, roadways, but we just got

to be real careful. If you hear me yell,

hold your fire, stop shooting, that's

what I'll say is hold your fire. Uh

we're watching for the dog, you know,

all kind of adjust the magnification of

your scope like that. If it's blurry,

adjust your eyepiece. And if you're

shooting and all of a sudden it feels

like your gun's jammed up, pulling that

trigger, nothing's happening, pull that

lever, open the gun about that much,

close it, and keep shooting. Once you

relieve that tension, it should correct

itself, and you'll be good to go. It's

harder than it looks. Don't get

discouraged. Keep aiming for that head.

It is. We'll be good. Sound like a plan.

Never know what we'll see out here.

We've shot Nile monitors, hogs, coyote.

We come across some musci ducks or

Egyptian geese, we'll shoot them in the

head. We just got to be careful to do

our best to avoid Karens, but an

>> invasive species.

>> Get a life.

>> I'm sure we won't be able to in here.

>> Everybody ready? Everybody good? Yeah,

I'm put this thing in the water.

[music]

>> Somebody jump on. Yeah.

>> One thing Mike forgot to mention that we

will be also hunting today are New

Yorkers. And I Okay, that came out

wrong. I don't mean people. I mean the

pigeons. And I just imagine pigeons have

a New York accent. They talk like this.

And the the I just feel like I don't

know. I just feel like they're rude

animals. But they're invasive down here.

And um we're allowed to TAKE THEM OUT.

OH, [laughter] SON.

>> OH, [screaming] SHE GOT FIRE REAL QUICK.

Hold fire.

>> Oh, that's so sick.

>> Watch that lizard. There's one sitting

right there.

>> We're going to shoot him off this

bridge. Let me just get around and get

you situated. Sit up on that cooler,

y'all.

>> Watch out.

>> Bruce is already out of here.

>> There's

Oh, hit him again.

Get ready, Quadro.

>> Oh, he's bleeding.

>> He's bleeding.

>> Hold fire. Hold fire. Finish.

>> Yeah, he's bleeding real good.

>> I think y'all hit him where he can't

>> done the spiel on why cuz I don't think

you guys they don't really know why you

are trying to kill these iguanas.

>> Yeah.

>> The purpose of it.

>> Yeah. So, these iguanas, they're an

invasive species and as you can tell,

they've kind of infested South Florida

here. While they affect our native

wildlife a little bit, their main area

of negative impact is our

infrastructure. They dig these holes all

around these bridges, all along our

canal embankments, and they cost our

state millions of dollars every year.

And that's why the state has brought me

in to help manage them along. They

actually had a big excavator going along

an embankment about 6t tall. Whole

embankment gave way because all the

iguana holes rolled the machine and the

guy into the canal and it could have

been a serious problem. Luckily, he was

okay. But it just goes to show how they

undermine all the all them structures in

that canal embangment.

>> He's like dark gray.

>> Make it count, boys.

>> Nice shot.

>> Hit him again.

>> Oh yeah.

>> Hit him in that head.

>> Oh, that was good.

>> Hold fire. Hold fire. Hold fire,

>> boys. That's a good

Woo boy.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Yeah, I got mine.

[music]

>> Rooster has one iguana. Uzi's about to

have one iguana. Uh-oh. Iguana sees dog.

>> Kill that. Oh no.

>> Somebody get ready.

>> All right. You ready? This

>> Y

[music]

>> that tail tail.

>> Good.

>> Grab him quick.

>> I don't want to grab him by the tail cuz

then he's going to turn on. I'm a [ __ ]

I'll say it. That was sometimes they're

going to try to scratch you and not

bite. I bitched out there, dude. I had

to

>> in there. Have a shot. Take it.

>> Yeah, go ahead.

>> You gone.

>> And after only taking out two iguanas,

well, somebody didn't like that we were

having some fun and they made sure we

knew it.

Please come away. You're going to make

the dog eat them.

>> Here we go.

>> Please. Please.

>> You can take pictures. I don't

>> What's that?

>> How we doing?

>> Not good.

>> Good.

>> What are you doing?

>> What's that?

>> What are you doing?

>> Uh, we're fishing and removing iguanas.

>> We don't want you to move remove ouras.

>> Okay. Well, you you don't make the rules

for the canal, ma'am. I work for the

state.

>> Can I see?

>> I I don't have to show anything.

>> Yeah, you do.

>> I don't though. You can take a picture

of me. My name's Mike Kimmel. I'm known

as Python Cowboy. Company is Martin

County Tra.

>> You have a a lovely day.

>> Please don't remove any of them from

this area.

>> Why do Why do you not want me to remove

an invasive species?

>> Because they live here now.

Ma'am, they're they're invasive. Them

living here's a problem.

>> After the person that brought them here

in the8s, why is that person still

around?

>> Uh, ma'am, that wouldn't help us today.

What would help us today is actually

removing the problem.

>> I appreciate your input.

>> What have you got to do in here? You

have no license. I

>> I do though. I'm licensed by the state

and I don't need a license to do it

anyway. It's an invasive species. Do you

have a license to walk your dog on that

sidewalk?

>> I don't need a license to walk a dog.

>> Well, exactly. Then you and me are in

the same boat. You have a nice day.

>> Murderers.

>> What do you call murderers?

>> Murderers.

>> That was awesome. That Hey, that was

great.

>> All right, boys. I got to give a quick

shout out to today's sponsor, and that

is Resilient Suppressors. Okay, they

make some amazing suppressors. I've got

suppressors for my 38. I've got

suppressors for [music] the 22. They

make anything and everything. These guys

are veterans based out of Jacksonville.

All the suppressors they make are made

out of Jacksonville, Florida. For me, I

don't like stuff just sitting in the

safe, right? [music] So, some

suppressors only work for one specific

gun. This suppressor right here can work

for multiple rifles, pistols. [music]

It's really super versatile, right? I

hate when stuff is just sitting in the

safe attached to one gun. What I really

love about Resilience Suppressors is you

get [music] performance for your dollar,

right? These are some high quality

suppressors. and dude, put them through

the ringer and they will show you. They

will pull the test of time. I I promise

[music] you that. So, if you guys want

to check out Resilient Suppressors, all

their products are available through

Silencer Shop. And thank you again to

Resilient Suppressors for sponsoring

today's video.

That's [music] scary quiet, just how I

like it.

[music] Resilient Express also sent me

one for my 22. And this thing right here

is dangerous. It was supposed to be

Kayla's gun, but Oh, I like it a little

more [music] than she does. So,

that's scary, dude. That's really scary.

>> I had some lady come out one time,

Spanish lady comes out and she's like,

"Oh, I love the iguanas, please." And

like I'm just in like normal work mode.

So, like I'm talking to her, not

thinking. I just do what like is natural

to me. I grab the iguana. I shoot it in

the head like I did, but right in front

of her. And dude, she [screaming]

like screamed like I just shot a child,

dude. I was like, we got the hell out of

there.

>> Oh [ __ ]

>> And just when I thought one Karen was

going to be enough for the day, no.

Things only get worse throughout [music]

this entire video. They don't understand

that these animals are not supposed to

be here and that they're ruining our

ecosystem and infrastructure. And we're

actually doing a good thing by taking

them out. I know it's kind of brutal,

but this is what has to be done to keep

the numbers under control. Nice. Got one

in the body.

>> Make it count.

>> Keep hitting them.

>> Hit the same one until it's dead.

>> I think we're out. You're out.

>> Hold fire, boys. Hold fire, boys.

>> Come on.

>> Yeah, she's out there.

>> That was awesome.

>> Out of all the hunts I do, this is

always the most stressful. Oh, I bet.

Oh, I didn't like that.

>> You got people with firearms. You got

people everywhere.

top.

>> Oh,

go get

[music]

a second. You got a second right there.

Look at that. That's how it got away

from her that first time. You got it by

the tail. It broke off.

>> Luckily, their heads don't grow back.

>> Little Florida culture shock.

>> Want to count is four.

>> So, I I took uh Trump Jr. to a spot I

don't take a lot of people. It's

residential like this. He brought his

own air guns and his air guns aren't

taped up like mine, so they they look

like sniper rifles. 2 days after a mass

shooting on top of that. So, we're out

there cruising. We're stacking iguanas

up and I see a sheriff boat calling out

to us. Four guys on front, couple dudes

on the back, all black, bulletproof

vest, AR-15s out, swat across the chest,

and I'm like, "Boys, this ain't a

Karen." Like, get ready. You know, Trump

Trump Junior's got a face buff on.

>> Oh my god.

>> And he pulls it down. He looks back at

me and my mate. He's like, "Watch this."

Sure as Dude, when they seen it was

Junior, the whole mood change, dude.

holding up iguanas for him, asking for

autographs. But here's the craziest

part. That was a few years ago, just

like three months ago. I took out one of

the dudes that came on that hunt with

Junior and he was telling me that he was

at Shot Show and one of his buddies came

up with this big guy and he gets to

talking with the big guy. Turns out he's

a Broward County SWAT member. He's like,

"You know what? I was out there and

y'all came up on me and Junior one day."

He's like, "I thought you looked

familiar." Yes. He was on shore with a

sniper rifle.

>> Oh my.

>> And he said he had his crosshairs on

that dude's because he could see he was

imprinting a pistol in his waistband. He

was concealed carrying. He's like,

"Dude, I was about to shoot everybody in

that boat."

>> Oh.

>> But luckily everything went good.

>> So, you know, the story went from crazy

and it got a little crazy.

>> That is you were with Junior. Out of all

people, that's the crazy part.

>> Thank God. It's one thing we have

sheriffs come up on us all the time and

dude they know us. They say hi to the

dog and know the dogs by name. But SWAT

is a whole different story. [music]

[music]

Six iguanas

[music]

ready.

>> [music]

>> That lady. Yeah, that was the funniest

thing. She didn't even see Mike in the

water. She just saw five boys just

sitting in the boat.

>> The water. She was like,

>> "Oh, dude." She's mortified. She's like,

"Oh, they're they're real Florida."

>> It's a swamp thing.

>> She saw the dog shaking it. You're

letting the dogs eat them. [music]

>> We got nine in the boat, baby.

>> Come here, T. Dogs. putting in some

work. Texas Sports putting in some work.

>> We need to get it dialed in. We're We're

slacking a little bit.

>> Harder than it looks on YouTube.

>> Oh, for sure. [music]

>> Dude, these We don't have rats here. We

just have iguanas. Like they're just

rats,

>> dude. Holy pigeons, man.

>> Double up.

>> My safety is all right. We're good.

Whenever. Two. One.

Oh,

>> we didn't even coordinate. We didn't

even coordinate which one you're

shooting. Dude,

>> that was sick.

>> Are you kidding? [laughter]

>> What?

>> Something's wrong with the gun.

>> I think I'm low on air.

>> I'm low on air.

After stacking up quite a few iguanas

and knocking out some pigeons, it was

time to go back into the swamp, back

into the deeper part of the canal where

something was waiting for us, something

we were not expecting today. Something

that goes by the name of Carrie and she

woke up on the wrong side of the bed

today and she [music] chose violence.

We'll just leave it at that. She called

us some names that we can't even put on

YouTube. Don't worry, we'll show the

whole conflict. We just have to bleep

out the words she called us cuz they

were naughty. She was an angry Karen. A

naughty Karen, if you will.

>> What does that mean?

>> I don't know.

>> Right after we just put eight shots in

the

>> I can't I cannot hear you.

>> I said they're very poisonous.

>> They're They're poisonous.

>> Yeah.

>> No, they're not.

>> No, ma'am. They're not. They're good to

eat. They're not bad.

>> Good. See you later.

>> Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. You have a good

good day.

>> See you later. Hi.

>> Are you going inside?

>> Oh, okay. Well, we'll be hang we're

going to be doing our thing around here.

You have a nice day, though.

>> I know. Go around.

>> She's still yapping.

>> What's she doing?

>> Water on there.

>> Excuse me. Get the [ __ ] out of here. I

don't want you shooting a gun on my

property. Go.

>> Okay. Ma ma'am, you do not own the

canal. I'm allowed to fish and remove

iguanas out here

>> over here.

>> Okay. You have a nice Don't It's not

worth getting yourself all upset, ma'am.

>> Okay, you can call them. Give them my

name.

[music]

>> What' you say?

>> Jackass, I think a jackass.

>> That's what I heard. [laughter]

>> I've been called a lot of things.

>> Yeah, he doesn't care.

>> Take first shot. your back up.

I'll shoot you.

[music]

[music]

There's two more. Three more. There's a

whole family in that boat.

[music]

>> Poisonous to dogs. She said they're

poison.

>> Shut her up real quick. dogs and the

amount of guanas they've seen in their

lifetime is more than she's ever even

laid eyeballs on. Dude,

>> oh, here we go, boys. This is how we

really going to make her mad. There's a

visco duck under here.

>> Oh, man. Look at all steam on that one.

>> Make it count. Get it right.

>> Two shooters.

>> You ready?

>> Yeah, I'm on it. I'm on a backup.

>> Whenever [music] Whenever you're ready.

>> [music]

>> And now he's going to go limp into that

lady's yard.

>> Good [music] dog.

>> She's watching. She's watching.

>> Good dog.

>> Oh, it's over now.

>> Here.

catching

the

>> We're about to have the cops call on

this. The first time this has ever is

she on the phone.

>> She's just standing there staring.

>> All right.

>> Hell yeah.

>> Speed. I'm leaving.

>> Go take the pictures right in front of

her house. Thumbnail with the Karen in

it. We

>> Oh my god. We are just getting great

content today. I really hope the audio

is able to be picked up on that.

>> Keep going.

Okay. You sure told me.

>> Babe, you don't own this canal. I don't

tell you what to do in your house.

>> Doesn't matter. THIS IS MY [ __ ] LIST.

>> So what? This is where I work. I work

for the state. It's an invasive species.

>> Get a lie.

>> What you say? I hope your dogs die or

some [ __ ] I felt like

>> and as we make our final loop through

the canal, total count here is about 13

iguanas, couple handful of pigeons, one

duck, and two Karens. We have a mixed

bag, gentlemen. We are killing it today.

Literally. Also, Mr. Python Cowboy was

nice enough to bless us with some aguana

facts that I did not know or [music] I

don't know if I wanted to know these

anyway, but um pretty interesting to say

the least.

>> So, another fun fact is iguanas have two

peckers. You thought one pecker got you

in trouble. Imagine having two of them.

>> Oh, dude. Dang.

>> Three heads.

>> Such a problem down here.

>> They're down here slanging that double

D. That's for sure. For insertion and

the other one they slap the female

iguana in the face with it. What?

[laughter]

>> Bro, there's no there's no way that's

real.

>> That's what I was.

>> Okay.

>> How do you How does he know?

All right.

>> I knew my brother back there would clean

up after me.

>> Watch. Whenever this one comes back in,

I head shot.

>> See, his aim came back. He just took

[music] 40 rounds.

>> Oh, he went side. He He's like He saw

the pigeon and he went [laughter]

>> Steve. [music]

No switch on this thing.

[laughter]

>> One of his dick. He shot him in one of

the dicks. That's why they got two.

>> Well, we put a beaten down on the canal

today and we also had a interesting

Karen experience. I will say two

interesting Karen experiences. Well,

boys, after that iguana hunt, I'm

feeling pretty good. In fact, I feel

like I have two peckers myself. It was

an awesome day and those cars didn't

slow us down. on to the next. I'll see

you guys next week.
