Bright, you are correct. I know many people live here and have not seen gators. Living on the water has allowed me to see many gators.
I introduced Bright to Markets of Marion today. As we came back home, I pointed out a big gator just down from my house. He was catching rays on the bank. He is not to be confused with Big George. BG comes up behind a home two doors down from me.
I really shudder to think of anyone standing knee deep in a local lake with a child. I know gators are supposed to fear us, but why take the chance?
