My wife has the same opinion about most animals. If it's not harvested from Kroger's meat department, she's reluctant to like it even if it taste good. I never considered the scale one might face in FL. 65 in 18 months suggest a true nuisance.Never eaten Iguana. I asked the wife about it and she said your not cooking that on MY grill! LOL.
I've seen video's of people making a stew out of them and they said they were tasty. I think they are nasty creatures so I seriously doubt I'll ever attempt to eat one. I live on a lake and have dispatched over 65 of them in 1.5 years. I really don't enjoy killing them but they are destructive to my seawall and plants. Their feces contain salmonella which is not a good thing for my dog to get a hold of! Its a rare occasion to see one in my backyard nowadays!
If you drive by the main roads near large canals there are hundreds everywhere. I read one female can lay 600 eggs!My wife has the same opinion about most animals.

I watched them before and the shooters seem to enjoy taking them out!Lots of iguana airgun hunting channels on YouTube and they’re quite enjoyable to watch.
I’m quite certain I would. Next time I go down there I might take my new airgun. Help the locals out with their pest control problem. It’s worse than we could probably imagine, and this was two years ago:I watched them before and the shooters seem to enjoy taking them out!
Oh yuck… I’d blast every one I see and just throw it in the lake and let the scavengers take care of it. No stink that way.Yes its worse. We are hoping for a cold snap not enough to damage the citrus trees but to kill off a lot of the Iguana population. Years back we had a nice cold snap and a few days later I was down by the lake and smelled something dead. I looked up in my large palm tree to see a dead black Iguana laying across on the the fronds. One can only hope!
