    Whatever you'd use to hunt a Sesame Street character is probably ideal.

    Of course the correct choice is an M1 Garand modified to accept BAR mags.
    But if he brings along his friend Mr. Snuffaluffagusaurus, you'll need your elephant gun. Fortunately, nobody but T-Rex has ever seen Mr. Snuffaluffagusaurus.

    So, apparently, on other islands they've had really good success using 'Judas Goats'. The trouble with feral goats is, you jump one and they scatter. But if you radio tag a male, he always returns to the herd. So you can track and systematically murder the whole herd. This is how they have eradicated the feral goat problem on smaller islands in the Pacific.

    I have a colleague that has hundreds of jaws and skulls from these eradication efforts on a couple of islands in the South Pacific, really cool dataset overall.

    I see the hippos on those rare occasions I venture to the malls. Domesticated mall hippos seem to love soft furry clothing.

    Most of the mall hippos I've seen tend to go more for tight and brief clothing.

    Spray the Illegal Aliens with liquefied cat food and let the Jaguars do their thing.
    Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
