Well around here farmers make days out of sitting around in yard chairs around the local holding pond for the water they use to water the strawberries(which they also have the game wardens stock using the logic that the water is better for plants with fish living in it)drinking beer and picking off RES's with 22 rifles every time there heads pop up. And even though they are a native species to this area, they are more invasive(deemed by the GOVT not I)than our native YBS so to protect the YBS habitat it is not only illegal to buy RES's in the state but it is perfectly legal to kill one wherever you might see it.
