I first thought you might have been at a zoo.. but then you are holding one of those prehistoric things in your " avatar" apparently that's your local pest, while most of us hunt squirrels..
What gun, caliber etc did you use? 61 yds is a good, long shot. Well done.

Wow thats a monster!!! You should process the skin & make a limited edition pellet pouch!
I lived there in the late 90's & the iguanas were thick, I can't imagine how out of control they are now some 20 years later. I heard they outnumber people 4 to 1?

Yes I am in PR and loving it. We shot 219 Iguanas over three days.
Michael, I skinned 2 and plan to have them tanned. I will try to make a pellet pouch out of these and if I do they are already spoken for.
I’m using my trusty FX 500 regulated shooting 34 gr in 25 cal. Will post a couple more pics.

That would be a lot of fun! I've seen video of guys shooting them in Florida also. But Puerto Rico I have heard is a.....very target rich environment.

Can you eat therm? Are they a pest for any reason? Spread disease or such? I'm not judging, don't care, just wondering if that's PR's varmint or predator. I think I just got my answer, if I recall, they steal bird eggs, right?

Michael that’s a very good read. We are hunting the northwest side of the island where there isn’t much farming but still plenty of iguanas. I can only imagine how many we would harvest in the farming area. Here’s what I’ve learned. If you travel to PR I just remove the carbon fiber bottle from my FX 500 and mail them USPS. I actually don’t totally empty them. Two will fit nicely in a medium size priority mail box which costs $13.65 I believe. Now you are going to have all kinds of reactions when traveling with your airgun. Most people at baggage claims want to put a firearms tag on it but as most of you know Airguns aren’t considered firearms. If you allow this it could cause problems at your destination. Think about this: by allowing them to label it as a firearm, you are agreeing to a false statement. I simple took my large Pelican case to them and said this is a firearm case but I do not have a firearm in it. Say no more. If they ask I tell them I have some knives, camera equipment, range finders and all of these things can be found in my case. Be truthful! Scott and I have taken our Airguns to the airport and get different answers each time. YOU MAY HAVE TO LET THEM PUT A FIREARM LABEL ON IT. I did this once coming down here and it was still ok. May take you more time though. In the end you are at their mercy. On this trip, all 4 of us were able to get our guns through without a firearms label. If you make the trip and want to talk more just pm me and I will be glad to talk at length with you. I have plenty of stories.

Nice shooting. I have taken down quite a lot around my backyard here in South Florida. These things are quite invasive down here and are good shooting, however, they can be hard to kill with one shot if you don't get the correct spot. Head or spine, I use the Impact X 25 with 34gr JSB to take them down.

Glad to hear you're gonna make use of a couple of the hides. THE coolest pellet pouch I've ever seen is made of a whole toad, and was always hanging around the neck of the prettiest and sweetest airgunner I know... who is also one of the best FT shooters!
I'd love to see what you make of those hides.

It was nice to have all of you guys down here I hope you had a great time hunting. In regards to eating the iguanas, they are edible but very few people eat them here in Puerto Rico

Being able to recover them after bing shot can be a real problem because of the thick brush and weeds.
Andy, out of all the places I shot and all the great people I've shot with, this trip to shot with you has to be the most recent! Ha, Scott

That’s where you have to hit them to get a quick kill and bring them out of the tree.
