Alligators are opportunists.
You never know where they will turn up.
Inside your carport
Under your car.
Probably a good idea to properly
Dispose of those fish guts.
Understand that
Females are never more than ten feet in length
Males can grow as large as fourteen feet
The Florida Alligator record weight is 1043 lbs.
Imagine that!
Big, long, green, scaly crocodilians
Compared to us, homo sapiens
That range from double xx-small to 5X.
The statistics for Alligator human bites from
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
For 2025, there are seven major, one fatal, and four minor incidents, totaling 11.
In 2023, there were eighteen major, two fatal, and five minor, for a total of 23.
Holy crap Holmes
What happened in 2023?
To harvest and avoid bites
You can wait until the temp is below 55
Which is opportune for humans
Or bring your snare attached to a six-foot pole
Attach a dead fish head for bait
Finally, keep water exposure to under a minute
Be sure to have permits, suitable caging
And wear a muscle suit for catch-and-release.
Mask, rubber slippahs, and hand sanitizer are optional.
Seriously: DO NOT FEED THE ALLIGATORS! It is illegal and dangerous.
