“A kid could kill a gator with a gun or a harpoon. Big deal.”

Info from Swamp People -

How many do you have in your creel? Big gators have only one vulnerable spot. That is a quarter sized spot on the back of the head (neck). Other spots on the top side are so tough that bullets and harpoons just bounce off.

You should watch swamp people.

Don’t know if this is a record but it is bigger than those shown on that collection of shows about the Cajun gator hunters in Louisiana.

That spot is only if you do not want to damage the hide. A high powered rifle will finish a gator pronto if you do not care about the hide.
