Some of the National parks along the border have hunting for exotics, but stalking/crawling across rocks and cactus ain't easy.

I have read a few articles regarding iguana hunting in South Florida and it looks like a pretty good time with a lot of potential shooting action. They are an invasive species and are supposedly pretty good table fare.


Anyone here ever hunted them?

I am hoping to find someone that can harvest a few larger iggies for me! I'd love to have some raw skins from the torso...I think they'd make great handle wraps for wood bows.

We have some Sika deer on Long Island. Leftover from an old hunting preserve for the wealthy around the early 1900's. The problem is they very rarely ventured onto public land and are mostly in parks that don't allow hunting.

Jeff; Hunt the edges!!!

Wow you learn something new all the time here. I've lived on Long Island all my life and never knew we had Sika deer, wow

A member of my archery club took a hind one year and they next year took a beautiful stag. Both on private property.

The 3000 acre ranch I hunt pigs on in central Texas has axis deer and red deer occasionally. No high fences. I consider feral pigs exotic game myself.

Yeah, some of the ranches in Texas have fences, but around the 20K or 30K acres ranch.  Not really a canned hunt.  Even some of the small 5K to 10K acres ranches are fun.

Hogs were brought over by the Europeans hundreds of years ago.  They are in how many states running amuck I have no idea. I can't find anything exotic about them.

Good thread though for sure.

There are wild hogs running the river 2 miles from the courthouse where I live.  Not exotic at all.  I just wish they weren't' running on private land where we could hunt them.  Nah, not exotic to me either, but I love to hunt them more than anything!

We have similar situation here in San Antonio.  Hogs running all through the green belt around and through town.  Population 2,454,000 people.  Can't hunt within city limits.  The golf courses even contract with folks to shoot them with suppressors at night.  There are some very impressive deer, as well.  One 14 point that is in the top three bucks I have seen in the wild.  I enjoy seeing them when I ride Mt Bike through the green belt.

I also don't see how in the heck hogs are exotic.
