Python Cowboy

Python Cowboy operates guided hunting expeditions throughout South Florida, specializing in removing invasive iguanas, Burmese pythons, alligators, and wild hogs from the state's ecosystem. Every hunt serves a conservation purpose—you're not just hunting, you're helping Florida wildlife management agencies fight back against species that cause billions in annual damage.

Iguanas dominate the iguana hunt bookings. These "canal dragons" have become invasive across South Florida's waterways, and the state maintains year-round open season with no bag limits. The operation focuses iguana hunts on the canals near Palm Beach and Boca Raton.

Python hunts target Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades—the most difficult and dangerous hunts they offer. These aren't beginner trips.

Gator hunts and hog hunts round out the menu, each requiring different tactics and equipment.

Bowfishing trips use a Tracker boat and bow equipment for fish and invasive species in shallow water.

All hunts include two professional guides, all equipment, and access to their trained retrieval dogs. You meet at the boat ramp around 10:30 AM.

Python Cowboy operates the first-ever team of dedicated iguana retrieval dogs. These aren't pets—they're working animals that dramatically improve hunt success.

• •Otto: The standout performer. So obsessed with iguanas he can barely contain excitement. Primary iguana dog.
• •Rogue: The backup iguana dog. More cautious but steps up when needed.
• •Fenix: Python, iguana, and hog dog. Works in the swamps tracking and retrieving. Great personality.
• •Trouble: Sister to Fenix, focuses on python and hog hunting. Scored perfect on NAVDA test—number 1 in every category.

"Their ability to speed up our hunting has significantly improved our impact on iguana populations. They allow us to take more shots, harvest more iguanas, and have a great time on the water."

The team includes: - Trapper Mike Kimmel (available for private guides) - "Slingshot" Sammie Allgood - Matt Pollack - Capt. Tombo Riley

These guides specialize in ethical hunting and wildlife management practices. Decades of field experience between them.

They use Edgun air rifles in .25 and .30 caliber—high-powered semi-automatic systems, not toys. Every rifle is sighted and dialed in before your hunt. Scopes are included. You can bring your own .25 or .30 caliber air-powered rifle if you prefer.

Hunts launch from a Tracker boat with coolers ready. You'll stand on the bow with a scoped air rifle, picking targets from trees along the canals.

Custom Leather Goods: Commemorate your hunt with custom leather products made in-house—wallets, card holders, key fobs, gun slings, and lighter sleeves. They also craft python leather, iguana leather, gator leather, and custom pieces.

Iguanas Are Edible: Yes, and guides say they taste similar to frog legs or chewy chicken. Bring your own cooler to transport them home. Guides will walk you through field dressing, but processing isn't included.

Mounts: Connections with local taxidermists for heads, skins, and full mounts.

Gun safety and boating safety are stated top priorities. They work with hunters of all skill levels, including complete beginners. Air rifles are powerful and hunts occur near residential areas, but the operation manages risk through guide placement and education.

Beyond hunts, Python Cowboy sells: - Custom leather goods (Python, iguana, gator leather) - Hey Dude shoes - Wallets and card holders - Gun slings and lighter sleeves - Hats and apparel - Stickers and merch
