I have seen WMHs closed for hog hunting because people were dumping tons of piglets to have something to shoot.

That doesn't surprise me at all.

Both mating balls were found when conservancy staff put implants in male “scout snakes,” set them free, and followed the signals to remote areas where people seldom tread.
From another poster:

You definitely don't kill the males that have the tracking device. You let them go and find you another female.
This is not some new “discovery” in wildlife biology or management. A “Judas” (not a “scout”) has been used for attempts at controlling all sorts of unwanted pests, from goats to pigs.
And you definitely leave the Judas out there to go on to find the next group.

What is this? Something like an apple air tag?

The only idea I've seen that would make a big impact is to breed a lot mice, rats and rabbits to be released with a poison pill of Tylenol. Pythons are ambush hunters, but Tylenol kills snakes.

That's on you for not clicking the Xs. I don't have a subscription and I was able to read it.

They do a similar thing with raccoons and possums. They trap them, put GPS collars on them, then send them back into the wild. They use them to find snake nests. Both are pretty good at sniffing out the eggs. If they get eaten for dinner by a snake, there is a way of knowing by what the collar is doing, they go out and find the snake, kill it, and retrieve the collar. Most all of the collars still work after spending some time in the digestive tract of one of those big bastards.
What those snakes have done to mammal populations in and around the Everglades is unbelievable. As far as their impact and changing every aspect of the ecosystem they will rival cane toads in Australia, they pretty much already do.
An interesting bit of info about the cane toads in Australia is that researchers have been able to essentially watch the evolutionary process of a species in real time. Over the decades the stronger, more resilient toads have pushed their range farther into the outback where those toads shouldn't be able to survive. Yet, the toads on the fringes have developed longer legs for quicker travel across the arid landscape and adapted skin that is much less susceptible to dry air. It is remarkable, despite the devastation they've wrought.
On a side note: the two species of cane beetles that the cane toads were brought in to manage are doing remarkably well. It turns out that cane toads have a taste for damn near everything but those beetles. They simply will not eat them.
