343# shy of Florida record.
Well, it’s colder there..................
What’s the Texas record. I heard you might know?
Fl has allowed hunting for longer which has ‘helped’ to deter some of the big ones. Alabama has produced large gators because they haven’t had hunting as long.
We’ll see them in Jacksonville.
I live on the GA/AL border. Like the locals say, there isn’t one swamp or body of water of any consequence in either state that doesn’t have at least a few gators in it around here. They’ve found strays in the ‘Hooch as far north as Atlanta before. And Eufala, if you’ve ever seen it, looks like a vacation resort for them. Perfect environment. Me, I’m more worried about the damn snakes.
