Bounty payment is often considered by scheme participants to be an ongoing source of income rather than an incentive to increase control activity...

The same could be said of project funding. .......,

Placing a bounty on the burms would be worthless for many reasons. What's been going on is people all go to same "hot spots" and catch pythons. With enough hunting pressure. This will eventually cull the population in these areas, the same as it does in the animals natural range. Once these areas are cleaned out, the novelty of catching a big snake has worn off, or there's no more hype to aid ones own self promotion the hunting activity will die off and the snakes will return.

Over the past few years Ive spent a fair amount of time looking for pythons in places that no body else is, and where the pythons should be given the estimated amount of time they have been established along with perceived population numbers and migration ability's, if they are on the move they are doing it VERY slowly.
