So, you're saying the chances of a gator encounter in the southern Villages is 10x higher than in the north? Sorry, but I'm not buying that. The smart play is to assume that any body of water can have at least one resident gator. During mating season (April - June), they do tend to move around more. Golf courses have lots of water features, and you can see gators on virtually every golf course in the Villages. Are there more gators down south vs up north? Very possible...but not ten times more.
