Not completely true the Whigham roundup still exists. They had 82 2011...which was way down from 2010...this years grand total was 37 ...monster was 6lbs....that was the average in 1992...and the total then was 582....wtf....Any more research needed? Btw the hunters resoonse to the low numbers. 1. extended hinting seasons.????what that means. 2.The hot weather this year made the Snakes not go underground. They know this how? They gassed the burrows that are no longer useable...and if they are there were no EDBs...EDBS also stay underground because of the heat..so the statement makes no sense.....I live in N. Fl...grew up in S. Ga....the edbs are in trouble
