Please call the Sheriff dept to get this on record. According to FL statutes, hunting season ends Nov 1, and bang sticks are the only firearm allowed to be used. I suppose a dangerous animal could be removed any time of year, but a handgun would never be allowed. These people were not only poachers, but endangering your neighbors, and this may not be the first time or the last. This needs to be reported. I don't suppose anyone jotted down the plate number on the truck?

A few years back my neighbor was bothered by an alligator that would walk from the pond to her lanai. she called the authorities and the animal control people shot the alligator and hauled it off.
so it may well be normal operating procedure. Those interested in learning more about the incident's validity at Hillsborough might want to check with community Watch, the sheriff etc |

Capturing Alligators
Again thanks & everyone seems to be in agreement re my concerns. One of the neighbors contacted the sheriff's office yesterday, deputy responded & later called simply saying "it was authorized". I have also reached out to Community Watch. It certainly would be nice to know what the exact procedures are; don't believe this incident should qualify.

Again, thanks for your input. We are well aware of the info relating to interacting with wild animals & specially alligators, nor are we activists of any kind. I did not personally witness this event, but live near-by. My friend of 20 years did witness the event & I trust his recounting of the events. Both of us are retired law enforcement professionals. Something just not right here, that's why we will find out exactly what the procedures are supposed to be. Thanks again...

I believe it was one of the two near Wine Palm Way & Florahome. District Property Management should also be contacted today---it will be good to find out exactly how these situations are supposed to be handled.

TY. I agree, looking at the satellite view the homes are quite close and well within range of a .45, as is part of #5 of Egret

Frozen gator meat is available at the Best Meats on 301 in Wildwood. Don't know the origin.
