My close encounter with a gator this evening

[daniel200]

No problems with gators here in Thailand. Eat or be eaten!

What a croc!

[Gpsma]

Yum

[Stu from NYC]

Better without the bones getting in the way

[manaboutown]

Bet it tastes like chicken!

[Velvet]

I like the tail, blackened. They used to serve it at the Lighthouse, many years ago.

[PersonOfInterest]

That's an awfully big Cat.

daniel....that's actually a croc, not an alligator

Love gator meat... but have been looking for an eatery that doesn't serve it breaded/fried in oil. The best I've tasted was cooked like sausage in kind of a cajun stew... and that was in Hawaii of all places.

A VERY clever comment!

Personally, I think that any alligator in The Villages lakes over 3 ft long should be caught (by professionals) and sent to local restaurants. I NEVER liked the idea of Villagers feeding gators..........the reason being many Villagers have small dogs that they CHERISH and they also have grandchildren that visit who could easily lose an arm to a 4ft gator.
........I think that in Florida a person has a GREATER chance of being attacked by a freshwater alligator than by a shark in salt water at a beach.

And you would be wrong...

"The Florida Museum indicates that shark bites (509) are more prevalent than alligator bites (442)"

And you want 3' gators removed? Those are babies... Ridiculous...

I wonder why they got rid of the Buffalos at TV. It doesn't seem right to start killing because of what MAY happen. Be careful, keep fifi on a leash.

Not a valid comparison. Sharks out in the ocean vs alligators in our backyard ponds. You remove alligators when they are young and easy to catch. If the ponds are isolated it can take many years before another alligator locates there. Ponds with easy access to marshes are not as easy to control.

Stumpknockers on the withlacoochee river has a gator steak cajun style.

And when they’re done carving, they let him go to grow back what they carve off. Sort of like harvesting stone crab claws. LOL
