Better not, they’re a protected species.

Of course, if you’re going to shoot it with an AR-15, in Florida you’re a protected species, as well.

“Ah was jus’ standin’ mah…boat?”

Not to bring physics or reality to a comic strip, but I would find it HIGHLY unlikely to do much more than munge the round at less than 3 ft depth.

The blades on those propellers have been killing manatees for decades, while a gun doesn’t work well underwater, like in forensic test tanks.

Should bring a few alligator friends to visit after the boat is overturned.

Where’s Lucy’s moose boyfriend? Last time I saw him, he did a good number on the guy who tried to shoot him!

if it’s green….cut it down!if it shites……shoot it!Philosophy or florida, texas, etc.

Those guys better know how to swim ..

NOOoooooo!!!

What’s REALLY scary is that Jack and Reagan are smarter then the two goobers in the boat…

I’m really hoping this isn’t Neurodiversity is Supernatural: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NeurodiversityIsSupernatural

Between yesterday and today, the two men changed their clothes, and put a different motor on their boat.

Yup. Most new species man encounters are introduced to the rest of us dead. Sad, that.

It’s nice to see gangs of armed white men roaming our streets, threatening shopkeepers, occupying government buildings and even shooting people.

You know what they say, the bigger the gun, the smaller the penis. In some cultures, you are not a man until you get an AK-47.

Welcome to America. Aren’t you glad it is Great Again?

Kids should be able to enjoy their ‘travels to the other side’ these days. To bad most adults have stifled that ability in themselves. The world might be a happier place even in the face of CV-19.

Reminds of this old saw: Out fishing, Bubba chucks a stick of dynamite into the pond and after the blast skims the floaters. Billy Bob protests its legality. Bubba lights one and tosses it to Billy Bob, saying, “You gonna complain or are you gonna fish?”

SLANDER is defamation which is spoken, not written, but LIBEL is written or broadcast. Both are commonly referred to as DEFAMATION. In order for either to lie they must be FALSE. Since that which was stated concerning Trump is absolutely true, such cannot be SLANDER.

Rifles and pistols don’t work very well under water…as well as getting rusty.

Let’s hope some imaginary whoop-ass is going to happen to those rednecks.

I’m sure some cajun somewhere has tried to cook one up – I’m sure that grilled sea cow steak is DELICIOUS!

Uh Oh, Wiley..

Those bubbles may contain enough methane to make shooting unwise.

Be Safe Jack and friends!

@cdward. Well said.

Every Sunday afternoon everyone in the neighborhood would meet at the nearby cross roads and country store to compare their weekend catches. Everyone had normal size fish except this one old farmer who had always brought in huge fish.

The game warden heard about this and showed up one Sunday afternoon. After inspecting the old farmers fish, he turned to the farmer and said “If you don’t show me your fishing spot , I’m going to have to close you down.”

The farmer replied by telling him to come out to the farm in the morning and he would take him fishing. The next morning the game warden shows up with his pole and the farmer tells him to climb onto the tractor. They head out into this big field until they come to a little pond. The warden is scratching his head because all he sees is a rotten old skiff, when he expected a large lake and something closer to a yacht.

The farmer said to get in and they start rowing out to the middle. About this time the warden notices that there are no fishing poles. As he is about to say something, the farmer reaches into a box and pulls out a stick of dynamite, lights it and throws it into the pond. After the water and smoke settle, he paddles around picking up the fish.

The warden’s jaw is on the deck. He can’t talk for a minute. When he finds his voice, he starts in on the farmer about how he can’t believe what just happened and starts screaming to the farmer about all the regulations he has broken.

While this is taking place the farmer calmly reaches into the box grabs another stick of dynamite, lights it, hands it to the warden and asks him if he is going to fish or talk.

I’m sorry to be difficult, but a manatee should always be named Hugh. As in, Hugh Manatee.

Shoot at the swamp gas? They must be from the city.

Got a feeling, Jack and Reagan are about to give a smack down.

Manatees are most frequently sighted in Georgia waters from April through October in the waters of Camden, Glynn, and McIntosh counties, during which time wildlife biologists with the Nongame-Endangered Wildlife Program monitor their activities.

Florida has more snowbirds than rednecks. I think they ended up in Georgia.

Are you sure that’s a Manatee? Looks a lot like a Dugong.

Oh, Lord, they aren’t just Everglades Fishermen, they are also MAGAhats.
