He ought to bring that 10-footer down to Louisiana where he could use it as bait for a big one.

Southern ladies have more testosterone than your average metro-sexual northeastern male. Yeah, I know, I technically live in the northeast, but SW Pennsylvania is the manly part of the northeast.

Some other guys got a pretty big gator as well.
Don Honeycutt, Dennis Seay, Tim Fields, Josh Martin at Seay's Rock Hill home Sunday with the 12 foot, 680 pound alligator they caught Saturday night south of Columbia on the upper portion of the Santee swamp. Alligator season opened Saturday.

You speak the truth. I can attest to the veracity of your statement via personal experience.

11 years ago I had the freedom to move anywhere I wanted to. I chose Myrtle Beach SC. Never felt like living anywhere else since. Great state.

Really risky process, hunting alligators. Alligators have thick skulls and even small caliber bullets will bounce off their heads. I remember when we hunted them, rifle of 308 caliber was my preferred weapon, and even then it wasn’t a sure thing. Alligators have small brains, about the size of a golf ball, and about the only way for instant kill is to penetrate the skull and hit the brain. Shooting them elsewhere did little to them, they are really primitive animals.
Everglades crocodiles are even worse, they get mad at you and might attack when they see you — For no reason at all.
If in doubt shoot for and hit the eye.
And missing the vital spot made them really really mad at you.
