Heh. Same gator skull as the other one.

A few years back, Alabama decided that after being overhunted and protected, alligators had come back in such numbers that they needed to be thinned out a bit. They really did. So a lottery was held, and one hundred gator tags were given out. My dad's name was drawn.

This guy was about eleven feet long, no joke. Right as he (with assistance) got it up to the boat, it opened its jaws and slammed them shut. On the boat. It made two holes, and my dad was bailing water all the way back to the dock.

Second biggest gator killed, but got the most publicity because of the boat bite thing.

Imagine my surprise when I wake up to see a boat in the drive outside my window, surrounded by my dad and four strange men. "Holy crap, what IS that in there?" Oh, nothing, just a gator corpse.

So yeah, there's the story.

It's happened twice, I think, since then. He signed up but didn't get drawn for the tag. There's still a limited number of liscences they give.
