A PRIMITIVE Hunter in Alabama...

[The Singing Bowyer]

This picture was taken by a helicopter near SHREVESPORT, LOUISIANA---sorry, not in Alabama...) The original info on this report was incorrect..






The old boy was hanging out in a reservoir behind some houses, so they had to put him down...ALL 25 FEET OF HIM! The game warden in the pic is 6"5"...

i understand the reason for putting him down,being in a residential area and all.

however i personally would like to see them move creatures like that to an are that they could live in,like the swamps in fla. or la.,jmho.

now how would a guy go about getting the teeth from that
they would make cool overlays

25ft of gator,unbeliveible. ive only seen one big croc at a gator farm in St.Auastine fla. that was a 17 ft saltie,a massive creature,didnt realize that fresh water gators grew to that size.

That looks like a freezer full of meat and a bunch of useful parts.  Makes you think twice about going into the water.

Yes, according to the report, they attempted to try and relocate him....but he wasn't about to cooperate. (SHOCKER)

 At 25 feet, I bet he was pushing 3/4 ton or more. It might be difficult to tranquilize a creature like that, and then to have something that could move him would be another matter all together. Shame something so amazing couldn't have been preserved, though...

It wasnt taken in alabama, it was in South carolina

Figures....my buddy Eric is always wrong on his info...

Still, I would hate to run into that boy no matter where he come from!

That's one big crock for sure but I don't think the guy is 6'5.. Look at the tail gate of the truck in comparison to him

That is a big old feller.  You really cant sedate reptiles very safely.  They say that transplanting a gator of that size is nearly impossible.  Not because you can't move them, but because of the territorial drive. They cause too much damage in the new area and often come back. The farms don't want them either.  They chew up too many of the animals at the farm.  Justin

It would take a few arrows to harvest that old warrior... he is huge... HAWK

That is one super-size lizard! Glad we don't still have T-rex's walking around.

   It's almost a pretty good Photo-Shop job. The biggest gator on record in Florida is around 14'. Kegan's right, it is a crock.And that photo's been floating around for years and whenever it pop's up it's bigger and a different state.

You should have seen the one that got away

[sailordad]

i thought it looked familiar.
i thought it was a saltie from down under.
