​Get paid to hunt

​The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission pays some hunters to be official contractors. “They get a flat $13 an hour just for hunting—like they’re on the clock when they’re out there hunting,” said Petty. “And then when a contracted hunter has a snake, they get paid $50 for any snake that’s four feet or less. Then for every foot over four feet, they get another $25. So, like, a 10-foot snake is going to get them to [$200].”
