They say 900 pound (+/-) and killed with ropes, hooks and naked hands.

Not my blame if you do something that matches what I don't like.

    Some people are like a slinky, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you push them down the stairs.

    Got some previously unhunted gator spots here in Duval County ("Jacksonville").

    Lots of waterfront residences owned by the basic class- some can 'hunt' gator pets.With bare naked hands,ice cold beer,artificial lighting,ropes,chunks of leftover chicken from Publix,tiny cameras,hooks and bang sticks that wake up the neighbors at 3 am-the neighbors panic,call police,afraid racial riots,protestors have entered the neighborhood. Maybe Gator lucky to be dispatched- skip this place,The Land Of Flowers! Go to Heaven

    Wonderful headlines and news coverage,although so much hardly reported on.

    We think big.Big Gator.Big Deer.Big Fish.Big Riot.
    We are building big giant outer loop beltway roadway,bigger than evil southeast Florida urban area,much enviro development mitigation and just generally "growing" big time,the economists tell us all is very big good.Jacksonville is Big Big Big.All big good we are told,largely.Big water supply problems Big Plus.
    If we have to,we let Gator become scarcer.No more hunt,but much more human growth.Big Plus.

    At this Big rate,more and more people and development, fewer and fewer fisher & hunter folk,more and more so happy there are fewer fisher and hunter folk,leave gator alone.Besides,gators scare protestors. Gators good,best alive.
    Chamber of Commerce off the hook.
    Hunters are present yet relatively uncommon in Florida :wink

    As kids in Jacs
    Ksonville we used to tip toe across the Ortega River, which is a tributary of the St Johns. Spent many a day swimming in those waters. Saw lots of gators, manatees and large Garr.

    A 'pet' gator was recently taken there on the Ortegro River- westerly shore north of 103 street,well down stream of tip toe depth
