When I first came to Florida 50-odd years ago, poachers kept the alligator population down. Since they were protected, their population has soared.

Back in the there were lots of gators but they mostly were not a threat. We used to swim with them, even at night.

Once we took out a couple (I got a big one with my 8mm Mauser) for a friend as he had too small dogs and two young girls.
