So playin TAG with gators is now a crime? God forbid someone has a little fun, pass another law. What? You never played TAG with dinosaurs before? Ok its easy, heres how its done. Rember the ole gator is more ascared of you than you are of him, unless you are some sort of wimp. Ok, so all you got to do is sneek up behind a lizard sunnin his/her self on the bank. They can't see directly behind themselves ya know. Got to be real quiet and sneeky they can feel your steps tru their belly on the ground. Once you get within range jest reach out and TAG the critter on the tail before it jumps into the H2O. Its not as easy as it looks. You'll be luckly to get one out of ten tries. |

I heard of another interesting "red neck game"... 1 airboat, 1 good airboat operator, 1 spot light and 2-? other "red necks". Run the airboat after dark with said "crew", using the spot light to reveal the location of any gators (their eyes are reflective). Ease the airboat up next to and behind a smaller gator (1 1/2 to 2 foot range). In one smooth action one of the "rednecks" grabs the gator's head and lifts it out of the water, proudly displaying his catch. Return the gator to the water and pick a bigger one... LOL Hopefully there has not been too much Natty Light involved and the gator doesn't slip out and land in the boat (fun times!!) Beware the Game Warden!! |

Problem is you get these transplants to FL who have never dealt with gators and decide to mess with them. +1 I was golfing one day at USF's course. Some Brits wanted me to take a picture of them with about a 5' gator. They wondered why I asked where they'd like for me to send them! |

gators lose their fear of humans real fast when fed.More than a few of our snowbird friends have learned this the hard way.They start feeding the nice gators in the canal behind the house and pretty soon they have a backyard full of pissed off hungry gators.When this happens the state traps them and kills them. |

"They start feeding the nice gators in the canal behind the house and pretty soon they have a backyard full of pissed off hungry gators." Kinda like "government assistance". Except the government just keeps on feeding them. And when I say government, I mean taxpayers. Man, that was mean....I shall go punish myself... |

Gators are not only wild animals...they are repliles...they don't have the warm fuzzy gene...feeding them is only part of the problem. Come mating season if they are used to being around humans and their pets...they are far more likely to attack. Pookie the poodle is nothing but dinner to a gator. They have lived on this land for millions of years...it is their natural habitat.. On a personal level...being a Florida grown redneck...gators are lunch in a handbag...tasty...just like deer, fish, turtles, water fowl...and a host of other wild creatures....and yes it is fun to take a hookless topwater plug and play fetch with a gator. |
