I'll be Florida this summer and want to book a guided iguana hunt. Specifically, I'll be on the East coast and can drive as far south as about West Palm Beach. Can anyone recommend a good guide service? Extra points to ones that provide decent gun/scope combos since I won't be bringing mine. Doesn't necessarily have to be top end, but better gear is going to make for a better experience.
Recommended Florida iguana hunt guides?

While I love watching the YouTube videos I had no idea this was a thing. Sir! You have peaked my interest.
Looks like it can be a lot of fun.

I booked a hunt in May with Trapper Mike aka Python Cowboy. He is in Martin County.
From his videos on YouTube he uses Edgun Leshiy's so I am looking forward to using one as I have been interested in them for awhile.

He is at $1250 for a 4-5 hour hunt with up to 5 hunters in the boat.
I am going it alone, still the same cost.

Fancy! What's the point of hunting iguanas? Are you planning on eating them? Or just for fun and preserving the environment?

See if you can't go with David Madrid, PescaYCocina on youtube. This man can spot those buggers in trees quicker than most.

They are an invasive species, non native and create a lot of problems. Search Youtube. They are edible and Python cowboy uses the hides to make leather goods that he sells. It is something to do while helping preserve the natural environment. I realize it is not for everyone but it is for me.

If you shoot one or more, you should totally tell him to make a billfold or money clip and sell it to you!! What a cool souvenir that would be!!
