woman bags a 1025 lb alligator with a .22

Gator did not come from California so therefore they had the right to kill it.

Hunting is such a dumb "sport". What the hell did that gator do to anyone to deserve this?

He ate the people's dog and raped their mother...

Maybe that gator wouldn't have died if it stopped being so damn tasty

With only 40 pounds of usable meat on the fatty I think you would starve before living off them.

I know a man who once killed a Guerrilla with a tooth pick and rubber band. *eye twitches*

And the BB gun didn't do much but piss it off. They used a knife to sever the alligator's spinal cord.

lol, I actually have met a person(one of my best friends uncles) who went bear hunting with a knife. Successfully killed a bear with just the knife too. Crazy mother fucker.

Now the fat gator haters are coming out of the woodwork.

Misleading title.

Had to be a .22 LR or .22 magnum. I highly doubt a .22 caliber BB/pellet gun would even penetrate the skin, let alone hurt an alligator of that size.

What's the reasoning behind .22 only?

You have to use a handgun in SC. Or a bangstick.

17. Why can't I use a rifle and shoot an alligator, wouldn't that be easier?

All alligators taken during the hunting season must be secured and brought to the bank or alongside a boat before being dispatched. Shooting free swimming or basking alligators can be dangerous (bullets easily ricochet off water) and often leads to loss of the alligator before a hunter can retrieve the animal. The tendency is for the alligator to submerge in the water after being shot, and many hunters may think they have missed, but in fact may have killed or mortally wounded the alligator. The hunter may continue to hunt and unknowingly kill additional alligators before being able to retrieve one. This would lead to an unmanageable and unnecessary number of alligators lost and is a waste of the resource. This activity would be unacceptable, as this is not an alligator eradication program.

Ah, thanks. That makes sense.

That's so awesome, I knew you were from CA before I looked at your location.

hint: population control.
