I gotta say I commend the efforts of folks who actively try to help their local environments by hunting invasive species. And I hope that Miami private school paid you well for your work.
The people who complain about this eradication are probably the same ones who started the problem by tossing their pets in the Everglades when they got bored.
Similar to when animal rights activists released mink into the English countryside and helped decimate many of our indigenous species. Only in recent years have we managed to get control of their numbers. It is illegal to release a mink if caught and should be dispatched humanely.
I absolutely LOVE seeing invasive species getting taken out! Just found your channel in the last few weeks & I'm really enjoying watch you make a real difference in this war Florida has going on! Thank you for posting!
@@PythonCowboy what type gun do you use? I'm from Tennessee and I hunt snakes and things that get places they don't need to be and things that eat fish that needs rid of.
@@PythonCowboy I commend your efforts and hard work removing these invasive iguanas, and the invasive snakes as well! Thank you for helping to save our Florida echoystem!! 💙
At first glance it appears harsh, but given the problems that non-native species cause world wide, it simply has to be done and everyone needs to support you.
As a Country Day alum I’m super happy to see you get out there and keep the campus clean. When I was there the big problem animal was the Muscovy Ducks. One day they all disappeared. We used to joke that they were turned in to the chicken nuggets in the cafeteria
Once he has something in his mouth?....that dog don't listen worth a shyte. When my dog brings a bird back to me he sets it down at my feet WITHOUT me saying shyte. That is an awesome dog. This dog needs some work.😉
@@4fit816 Otto has drive !! Most great dogs do. I’ve owned lots of bird dogs. Only one great one, a lot of really good ones. Retrieving comes natural to some, others play games
@@michaelsaltsman3271 "Games" are the fault of the owner and nothing else. My Dog does the exact same thing with his reward toy and plays games with it...because he knows he is allowed to. You have to train your dog to know the difference between the 2 and when its playtime and when its time to work. This dog barely listens when he has prey in his mouth. Hence my comment.
I hunted to see my dog work. I never spent a lot of time with the heel, sit commands in the field. I needed a dog with drive to last in the brutal county in western Oklahoma and west Texas , I loved a winding dog !!
@@michaelsaltsman3271 Heel and sit come WAY before hunting. I'm talking about control/recall of your dog while prey is in its mouth. To which, this guy is failing at. Maybe it's his very first dog

I don’t care what they say, Otto is an absolute stud! He isn’t scared (for better or worse),and unfortunate he got bit but gotta learn. But like always You and otto always come up on top 💪🏼, i bet he is living his best life too lol
That’s dangerous Otto diving in the water like that to retrieve a lizard you’ll never know maybe alligators hiding just underneath the surface of the water and just waiting for an ambush, just saying keep it safe out there 👍

Otto is the bomb! What a great dog. I can't believe the size of those reptiles, nor how quickly they proliferate. If they are threatening the kids, then yes, they have to go. That hotel room was one of the first I've seen. Thanks for posting; good work, fun to watch.
I love seeing you with your dogs. You have so much love for them is why they would walk on hot coals for you. I did hate that Otto got bit but it didn't deter him at all, he was still ready.
A little trick that us old timers used to stop bleeding when we cut ourselves while shaving. Its called a styptic pencil, or styptic stick, and there is even a powder. It stops a bleed quick, all you need is a little water to activate it.
Otto was doing a few celebrations laps! He deserves to have a bit of fun and to work off some steam after being in the car for so long. Good boy Otto! Get those nasty lizards!
Hey Cowboy You should carry a Styptic Pencil with you for when you or your dogs get a small injury that bleeds a lot. They'll instantly stop the bleeding, and contain astringent to disinfect and dry out SMALL cuts. They DO STING a bit. They are NOT used for deep or large areas. You can buy them almost everywhere, for under 4 bucks. Just a thought you might be able to use on occasion, IMO.
@@PythonCowboy a little (fits in a pocket) container of corn starch for small things like a ding on the head or a bleeding nail bed, the corn starch helps stop the bleeding, corn starch absorbs a lot liquid fast! You only need a little bit.
For ears, a quick sandwich of gauze and a wrap to hold the ear to the head overnight will generally do the trick. Can use a cohesive bandage like coflex or vetrap, or a snugly fitting band of sweatshirt sleeve. Wont usually hurt anything to leave it alone til after work unless it's bleeding very badly, then Id pack with cornstsrch, cover witj gauze and bandage. (Pack the wound not the ear.)
Otto is awesome. Love how well he listens. Teehee. He's a cutie and what a great thing you do. Kids must have been intrigued at first but then super grossed out.
Otto is an amazing dog. Not faced even after almost loosing a piece of his ear. Is he a german wirehair pointer? and id love to see a video on how you prepare the iguanas to make the goods, such as skinning them, preparing the skin, etc...
@@michaelsaltsman3271 Could be many things, but he's confirmed to be a Draughthaar, which is the refined working line german wirehaired pointer. So possibly a better working bred background makes him have a higher drive to work than the shorthair.

What a great hunt you had Mke. I did not know there were also evasive parrots in Florida. Are there any plans to remove them? Otto is just an amazing work dog. Look forward to your next video.
Haha we got it all in FL! No real plans to remove them because they aren’t much of an issue and we have bigger problems but Allie just helped a client get one on a guided hunt recently
Another great video, thanks for your hard work. As Danni mentioned a steptic pencil would be good for stopping the bleeding or you could get some alum in a jar, the same thing a steptic pencil is made from except it comes in a powdered form. Otto is a joy to watch and your background music is great too.
Dog ears are the worst because they keep shaking their head and reopening the wound. Tails too. You have to wrap the ears against the head for a day or two.
Python Cowboy this is the second video that I have seen of yours and all I can say is wow Great Job it's weird the last time I was in Florida the only lizard problem we had were those little geckos all over the beaches but these things are huge and from the looks of Otto's ear dangerous. Hope he won't shots Brave little man didn't even cry out or whimper, Dad needs to make him an Iguana skin vest LOL !!
Dear Cowboy and Otto , Next time try bartering for your hotel room by offering iguanna removal . Bet they would do the deal . Otto is a hard working boy and beautiful.
The idea of these dudes at a school with these guns and trying to explain to the police "officer it's for lizards" lol real talk you're the Florida man equivalent of the mink man, thanks for taking care of these invasives. I love native Florida wildlife and you are protecting it!

I would love to see a collaboration with you and the Edgun Leshiy channel. The guy that makes the backyard bully videos. Otto is amazing! I love seeing that dog work! You two make a fantastic Iguana slaying team!
Trapper Mike, you are the bomb. Taking out invasive species like you do with such skill-that is REAL environmentalism. And you handled that Joe Rogan interview like a world-class pro!
Wow. Weirdly addictive, watching this stuff! -- and I love reptiles, and doggos -- but I have a question. Do iguanas harbor bacteria that can be harmful to dogs like Otto?
yes, one of the bacterias causes botulism and i always worried about my dog getting botulism because she loved catching iguanas. lots of dogs get sick in FL after a cold snap because it knocks the lizards out of trees and makes them easy for dogs to catch.
People that can't understand that sometimes death is a necessity when it comes to invasive species and animals in general really need to take an IQ test.
This is completely different reptile content I've viewed and damn is it interesting. From an Aussie perspective, this looks so much fun. I love iguanas and they are beautiful but a pest is a pest
As far as I know, the state of Florida has never done anything about the importation of invasive species. But if they have, then they allow breeders to continue to produce them for sale in pet shops only for the owners to release them when they tire of them, I.e. Burmese python. I personally think there is something wrong with people wanting snakes and lizards as pets.
I must admit I was a little shocked to see the dog carrying a bloody iguana. Just really never thought how they were gotten rid of. If they populate so quickly and are a hazard to our children then this is sadly the direction they must take.
Hello Mr. Cowboy, first of all i like your videos. Really nicely done and super interesting for someone from germany. Keep them coming! For the iguanas in the trees it might be an option for you to get some pvc-pipes you can put into one another to get a long "stick". We use this to retrieve crashed rc-planes from trees. Anyway, i like your content and otto is defenetly one of the GOATS!
Ich bin immer überrascht, was für Tiere da einfach rumlaufen.. sowas kennt man einfach nicht bei uns :) natürlich ist es gefährlicher wenn es Alligatoren, Bären und kleine Dinosaurier überall gibt aber es ist so spannend fastzinierend. Ich freu mich nen Keks wenn ich mal n Reh sehe wenn ich mit meinem Hund im Wald bin :)
When I was kid we lived in Nigeria, and it was my job to keep lizards and rats under control in our compound. I had a pack of dogs and an air rifle. Good times.
I can’t believe how humans have overtaken the earth! It’s a damn tragedy for sure! For any species within range of the Homo sapiens. Who even knows if humans are indigenous to planet earth. Probably came in on a shit asteroid or something equally crappy. Humans ruin the fragile ecosystem here every flapping second of every freaking day ffs! Talk about your invasive species!
Awww I thought it was going to be catch and release. I know this is necessary though on so many levels, and I appreciate that you did it humanely and are not cruel in any way in your job.
Mike the reason why Otto doesn't bring the Lizards directly back to you, and especially if he had to work for the Catch, is because he is taking a "Victory Lap' so that everyone acknowledges his Win! You're just gonna have to live with it,,, and do heap the praise on that dog !!. He is definitely a One of a kind Dog and you should be very proud of him!!!
You have a lot of work to do with your dog. I would _never_ tolerate that disregard of instruction just because of capture excitement. In the wrong circumstance, disregard like that can get a dog killed. I am thinking particularly of some working dogs near a river not far from me where spawning salmon were dying--a great temptation to them, but often deadly due to a toxin. The dogs that heeded their owners' instructions immediately were spared; the rest presented their owners with a significant vet-hospital bill, and at least one did not survive.
How's the truck holding up? Your doggie is.... Amazing. He's so good, and he matches you and your gusto perfectly. Glad to see you posting videos again!!
I gotta say I commend the efforts of folks who actively try to help their local environments by hunting invasive species. And I hope that Miami private school paid you well for your work.
I"ll take squirrels any day over these large lizards running loose.
Well if its that bad this is just a temporary fix.

A little trick that us old timers used to stop bleeding when we cut ourselves while shaving. Its called a styptic pencil, or styptic stick, and there is even a powder. It stops a bleed quick, all you need is a little water to activate it.
And it stings, badly. May make the dog unwilling to be treated in the future. Try cornstarch. No sting, good for larger wounds.

Such a well done, well edited video! Absolutely amazing!
Trapper Mike, you are the bomb. Taking out invasive species like you do with such skill-that is REAL environmentalism. And you handled that Joe Rogan interview like a world-class pro!
Wow. Weirdly addictive, watching this stuff! -- and I love reptiles, and doggos -- but I have a question. Do iguanas harbor bacteria that can be harmful to dogs like Otto?
yes, one of the bacterias causes botulism and i always worried about my dog getting botulism because she loved catching iguanas. lots of dogs get sick in FL after a cold snap because it knocks the lizards out of trees and makes them easy for dogs to catch.
That's some "Catfish Dave " banger music !!!!👍
People that can't understand that sometimes death is a necessity when it comes to invasive species and animals in general really need to take an IQ test.
what about the biggest invasive animal on earth humans?

You could feed a lot of people with those iguanas..... do you just throw them away? Another fearless demonstration of Floridian manhood.
You ever worry about gators taking Otto while sending him in the water?
Exactly what a was thinking
gators and bull sharks I hear they're in that water also
gators dont look for problems, they usually avoid them
What a DINOSAUR, they're so beautiful, too bad they're such a nuisance.
This is completely different reptile content I've viewed and damn is it interesting. From an Aussie perspective, this looks so much fun. I love iguanas and they are beautiful but a pest is a pest
I didn’t know the iguana was so numerous in Fl. Did they become the invasive species like the python?
Yeah
As far as I know, the state of Florida has never done anything about the importation of invasive species. But if they have, then they allow breeders to continue to produce them for sale in pet shops only for the owners to release them when they tire of them, I.e. Burmese python. I personally think there is something wrong with people wanting snakes and lizards as pets.
@@markbrockman9859 I agree with you.
Otto in 2022!!!!......he has my vote...
I sound like a broken record, but this channel should (and will) have so many more subs than it currently has. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Otto is a badass dog. Good Boy Otto!
Love your videos! How do you know there's no gators in those waters? Maybe I'm just paranoid coming from the midwest 😅
It is safe to assume there is a gator in every body of water here
That’s a hard working dog 🐶. Great job and team.
I must admit I was a little shocked to see the dog carrying a bloody iguana. Just really never thought how they were gotten rid of. If they populate so quickly and are a hazard to our children then this is sadly the direction they must take.
That shocked you. Lol snowflake
Hello Mr. Cowboy, first of all i like your videos. Really nicely done and super interesting for someone from germany. Keep them coming!
For the iguanas in the trees it might be an option for you to get some pvc-pipes you can put into one another to get a long "stick". We use this to retrieve crashed rc-planes from trees.
Anyway, i like your content and otto is defenetly one of the GOATS!
Ich bin immer überrascht, was für Tiere da einfach rumlaufen.. sowas kennt man einfach nicht bei uns :) natürlich ist es gefährlicher wenn es Alligatoren, Bären und kleine Dinosaurier überall gibt aber es ist so spannend fastzinierend. Ich freu mich nen Keks wenn ich mal n Reh sehe wenn ich mit meinem Hund im Wald bin :)
When I was kid we lived in Nigeria, and it was my job to keep lizards and rats under control in our compound. I had a pack of dogs and an air rifle. Good times.
This is one of my favorite subscriptions
I can’t believe how these monsters have taken over Miami. That’s a damn shame
"Monsters"
No they're lizards. That were brought here by people. Educate yourself.
I can’t believe how humans have overtaken the earth! It’s a damn tragedy for sure! For any species within range of the Homo sapiens. Who even knows if humans are indigenous to planet earth. Probably came in on a shit asteroid or something equally crappy. Humans ruin the fragile ecosystem here every flapping second of every freaking day ffs! Talk about your invasive species!
OTTO ENJOYING HIS BEST LIFE..... He loves to work. .
Awww I thought it was going to be catch and release. I know this is necessary though on so many levels, and I appreciate that you did it humanely and are not cruel in any way in your job.
Mike the reason why Otto doesn't bring the Lizards directly back to you, and especially if he had to work for the Catch, is because he is taking a "Victory Lap' so that everyone acknowledges his Win! You're just gonna have to live with it,,, and do heap the praise on that dog !!. He is definitely a One of a kind Dog and you should be very proud of him!!!
You have a lot of work to do with your dog. I would _never_ tolerate that disregard of instruction just because of capture excitement. In the wrong circumstance, disregard like that can get a dog killed. I am thinking particularly of some working dogs near a river not far from me where spawning salmon were dying--a great temptation to them, but often deadly due to a toxin. The dogs that heeded their owners' instructions immediately were spared; the rest presented their owners with a significant vet-hospital bill, and at least one did not survive.
How's the truck holding up? Your doggie is.... Amazing. He's so good, and he matches you and your gusto perfectly. Glad to see you posting videos again!!
Otto was on that Miami snow ... ha ha!
Love that dog. Special one this guy.
Good shots and Otto is a stud! Give him a good pat for me.
