Dustin Bockman of Vicksburg took in a 727-pound alligator, according to Mississippi's alligator program coordinator, Ricky Flynt. Bockman and his two partners bagged the 13-foot 4.5-inch gator after getting close enough to shoot the animal with a crossbow on the Mississippi River, according to the Hattiesburg American.
"He broke all the lines we could put in him. Finally put a snare on him and got him up high enough and put a shot on him." Not like they simply attacked him with a crossbow tho.
The reason why hunting of animals is allowed is because if the species numbers are not "regulated" it will lead to overpopulation leading the animals to have to go out further into human territory in order to find food.
I for one am okay with a few gators being killed if it means it keeps them off my lawn. Also, they are delicious.

I still want an alligator pet tho. If only they could stay little like turtles.
Even if you were the person being chomped?
No, you don't need to answer that. . .although:

I hate it how people eat "exotic" meat and just say it tastes like chicken. Kangaroo tastes like chicken croc tastes like chicken and snake tastes like chicken. Cant believe a word of that tbh. I ate kangaroo and croc and they didnt taste like chicken but like kangaroo and croc.

Well, I still wear me some nice expensive jeans. Everyone says I come to work looking like I'm going on a date. But you never know when you'll come across one of them hot surveyor girls.(Wife doesn't mind, I'm sure )
No joke, it tastes like a perfect mixture of chicken and fish. If you get the dark tail meat it is mostly a chewy fishy flavor if you get the tender white meat it tastes more like chicken with a fishy aftertaste. I've never had crocodile though.
The reason people say that things taste like chicken is because it's something that can be compared with the meat. If you tell people that crocodile tastes like crocodile people will think you're an asshole and not let you marry their first born.

One of the guys in the boat would have had the line in his hands fighting with the gator to tire it out so they could get it to the surface. The only spot on a gator that is penetrable is about the size of a quarter and is on the top of their head, between the ears.
I'm a strict vegan.
