JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A viewer sent into Action News Jax a video of a man wrestling an alligator in the middle of the road Sunday.

This happened on Edgewood Avenue. The video shows the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office was also on the scene too.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said mating season for gators runs from late May to early June.

I had fried gator bites at Pappadeaux’s. Pretty tasty, and now I can say, chicken tastes like gator.

Apparel aside, that guy definitely looked like he knew exactly what he was doing. He did it so methodically it almost looked safe!

I did like watching him try to get the duct tape off with one hand...:)

Most restaurants in New Orleans serve fried alligator. I agree. I like the flavor.

Living in Florida, the guy is just upholding the tradition of the term “Florida Man”, who hasn’t jumped on the back of a Gator, taped up his mouth, picked him up and hauled him away to be released.

The duct tape wrangling looked harder to accomplish than the gator wrangling!
