Just finshed up day one of an iguana hunt in Puerto Rico, I shot between 80-100 and there were six of us behind the trigger(s). I'm here for Predator Xtreme and Airgunner (UK) with the editors of Field and Stream, Outdoor Life, Peterson's Hunting, and NRA American Hunter. These guys are being blown away by airguns and the effectiveness on this quarry. We're shooting Hatsan Carnivores in .30 and .35, though I've also been using the AT 44 in .22 with H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme and it's a great combo for head shooting these lizards that go up to 5 ft and over 20 lb. Using JSB .30's and the Grizzly .35 in the Carnivores.
If there are any herpetologist and lizard lovers out there, I'm one of you. But they estimate there is a population right now of 8 million green iguanas on the island (only 4 million people). The lay around 50 eggs up to three times per year so the problem is growing exponentially. And there are no natural predators.... only people with airguns . Tomorrow we'll be having a reptile grill out at the farm!
