Shudda shot the gator, skinned him, dressed him out and fried him up.
To hell with calling the gubmint. They’re not here to help.
They probably called 911, and the cop that always follows the paramedics calls Fish and Wildlife when he hears the victim’s story....
And not a call made either.
Not a smart thing to do, grab at a cornered gator with bear hands. Why didn't he just get a knife of an axe and finish the thing off?
Oh yes, I forgot. People don't keep axes near their doors anymore.(We all do round these parts. Even a bear can be stopped with one, while someone else gets the gun.)
