I've been tempted to smoke that gator across the lake from us but I'm sure my neighbors (at least one of them) would get excited. The other would be excited for the gator BBQ later that evening.
I totally get it that meat gathers prefer not eating stuff farm raised and given questionable feed to promote growth. That being said, do you really think eating a gator living in a pond that accumulates all the chemical runoff from the pesticides and fertilizers in the Villages is something that is doing your body some kind of good?
