Two Florida hunters tracked down a monstrous alligator and the photos are breathtaking.

The gator was shot at Outwest Farms, an alligator hunting company in Okeechobee, measuring just under 15 feet and weighing in at over 800 pounds.

The farm's owners discovered the gator in a cattle pond during a guided hunt. They believe the gator had been helping itself to some of their cows.

The gator was so big that a farm tractor was needed to pull it from the pond.

What a shame that the cow eating alligator could not have been captured and released at the DNC. Could have been trained to eat Fake Indians, Kenyans and Socialists too.

A fat gator like this on private land was probably fed. If it was in the wild, it would be impressive.

Chin up

Trump only ever carried 5% of total polls done in Wisconsin

Trump won a poll early February

Cruz 6 or 7 of past 8 polls since

Don’t believe the pimped Narrative but he stop Trump

It’s what they want for Ted as their standard bearer

When I was a kid around 1958, my best friend’s Mother told us a long and really interesting story of how her Grandfather had killed an 18 foot gator in the Choctawhatchee River in Florida.

She would have been born around 1910 and her Grandfather, maybe around 1860. From all the details including the gator taking the guys horse while he was crossing the river, I actually think she was telling the truth.

From reading about large gators, one that large is definitely possible.

Heh - yeah it occurred to me that the DNC might be the one thing that could put that thing on a diet.
