What color collar and leash did you get for him? Might be best to send Mike out to the pond to feed him!

Mike "supervised" (and took some of the photos) from a safe distance Jack
Oh Yeah, Mike got to hear a genuine "Gator Grunt".
Can anyone say "retread"? ;D

Jack,
Would you do me a huge favor, since I don't live in Florida. I have never seen somebody wrestle a alligator. When you wrestle this puppy, please take some video. Pictures are nice, but I want to see that action as it happens. When you do wrestle him, watch out for his teeth, I have heard that they have the possibility of hurting.
;D ;D :D :D ;D ;D ;)
Best of wishes.
God bless,
John
Hey Jack, I heard that Buses shed Road Gators but not real ones! :o
All the Best, M&C

Jack, I believe you and Paula have always said that anyone was welcome. He took you at your word.

It could be the same gator. This one was about 2' bigger and this photo was taken a couple years ago. Jack
Jack, That's a good reason to not feed the animals! ;D

Absolutely, We don't feed them.
This is the first one we have seen on our place in a couple years (since the photo JJRBus posted). We just put them in our pond, and, with very limited food supply in the pond, they move on.
In Florida it is illegal to feed a gator. I personally know of a 5 year old girl that was killed by a gator that people had been feeding. Jack

At the MACC I don't think it's illegal for the gator to feed us lol. Or we could "Grill" him to get information on activities, I'm sure he could be a "seasoned" veteran of some conflict lol.
Jack,
Couldn't you just put him on a chain and keep him for a guard dawg? :)
