I dont see the reason to take this gator out. Unless you are using it for food etc, I find this to be wrong. Just my opinion.

I live on a lake and see 8'-10' regularly and just leave them alone - don't see the need to kill them, tease them or whatever...but then the trailer park Bubbas couldn't brag because they don't have much else going on to be proud about.

It's funny how some here have feelings for these alligators. That butt ugly predator would hunt you, eat you, then move onto the next victim without a thought.

I would not hunt a gator. But I understand why it’s done and I’m ok with it.

Wish these jackasses would leave the gators alone. No damn reason at all to go to their home and kill them. I'm willing to bet all he did was wander around Lake Jesup until he found a big one, no skill involved in hunting when you go to the lake the state has dumped problem gators into for decades.
Now Jesup is getting built up by bluebelly invaders and I'm sure they'll demand all the gators be killed. Gators are part of Florida, Invaders are not. Just like the fabled US borders, something should be done to keep the invaders out. Rather a dozen gators across the street than one more car with Carolina plates on it around here. |

Gaters have been slaughtered in my back yard. For no reason. Gaters
are part of our envoirment. The biggest problem with gators are outsiders. Dont walk your little dog along the shoreline and it wont be supper for a gator. NOooooooooooooo common sense. |

The majority of gators you are correct. But one that size is a man killer. Of course, we have people around me that moan about hunting deer- until one totals out their car.

If you're going to wipe out every predator that scares you the world will be a much less interesting place.... I'd wade around in my lake every day before I'd walk through Chicago on a single Saturday night. |

No danger at all. It's not like they sneak up and hid behind trees, following you all day before pouncing on you from 5 feet away. He lived in a freaking lake that people know to stay out of. The Wife and I both hiked wetlands parks with Bulls 2/3 that size 20 yards away, with no gates, fences, walls, other things tourists need and paying attention is all you need. Funniest day ever was a hike where it seemed like every BIG gator around who saw me made a beeline towards me. I must have looked tasty that day. Only 3 got between us and the exit all day.
