The price is what its worth to save their native species. The point is, it has to be something that motivates folks for a long period. Most of the species where a bounty was paid, were hunted to extinction, or near extinction, before the bounties were halted.
I know the island has lots of rocky areas, but as we know, that is not prime habitat for Cal kings. Grassy fields are, and in particular, old agricultural fields And the corridors between active fields. I find this to be an extremely interesting subject. As we SoCal boys know, you can hunt the above mentioned habitats continuously and not run out of kings. I would be interesting to see if people can hunt/trap/catch them out. I would think it would give us an understanding of how these type of snakes live and live "in" the ground. I hope we are kept informed. Its going to be interesting.
And speaking of this stuff, what's the deal on Brown tree snakes, did humans win, or did humans give up. Or was there some manner of truce?
