[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you kill them? Club them over the head with a rock?[/quote]

Shoot them just behind the eye with a high power airgun, or harpoon them with a dart and then [b]beat them to death with a small club[/b]. The darts are for places where it’s not safe enough to shoot an airgun. [/quote]

Is this part necessary? It's one think to shoot a living being and have it die instantly, quite another to "beat it to death."[/quote]

There’s some places where we’re hunting where it just isn’t safe to use a high power airgun. If you miss, or get a through-and-through shot where it passes through the iguana and keeps going, the pellet can hit something you don’t want. Houses, windows, cars - people! Don’t want that under any circumstances! So you have to harpoon them instead, and then reel them in and dispatch them manually.

Believe me, I much prefer shooting them when possible. Yesterday I had one that my wife harpooned scratch the hell outta my left shin as I was moving in to club it. Bled all the way down in my sock! Thought I was gonna need butterfly stitches for a while until it finally scabbed over.

So sometimes the iguanas get a few licks in, too. It happens.  :lol: [/quote]
