This would bring tourists by the millions. Bob Horan Endicott, N.Y. Let’s use Key deer as attractions to lure tourists.

Submitted by Cruz This just shows how stupid these people are. After the Dreifort bust on Cudjoe a couple years ago, wasn't it obvious the Feds were cracking down on this. These guys are just idiots. And Kimbler, it was just a matter of time before his arrogance caught up to him. Idiots.

The rest of you have know idea what the hell you’re talking about. Casitas are without a doubt more environmentally friendly than traps. In the Bahamas the fisherman do NOT use traps. They only use Casitas and they have some of the most pristine waters in the world. Like 6GenCracker said they are being considered for legalization, which alone speaks volumes. As for honorable men, I would defiantly put Mr. Kimbler at the top of the list. He unlike Dave Dreifort will be holding his head high. Stay strong big boy. We love you Mike Kimbler
