23 Gators In One Night!

 

                                         Massive 600 lb. gator pulled from Alabama Waters


                                                                                     











These photos were from the most recent State of Alabama Department of Fish and Game's sanctioned alligator hunts that took place this past week. There is a registration period that opens up and prospective hunters may register. After registration closes, applicants are selected by lottery at a later date. The hunts are at night and closely monitored by the F&G officers. My son has done this a couple of times and he and his "team" caught large gators during both hunts.

  2. Went on the first gator hunt South Carolina had years ago, got a 500+lb one. Have no desire to do it again.

  5. 23 that they know of.
    Sometimes, one of those beasts crawl onto the wrong property in Florida, Alabama, and probably Louisiana, and gets his come-to-'gator-Jesus early.
