Gator Pictures

A gator in Georgia that lived near a community....

Couple of gator pictures that fossilman posted at The Huntin Lodge yesterday. Picture here shows a gator in Texas. Yes, it's hauling a deer off in its mouth!

    That Texas gator picture was taken over Lake Houston, probably 3 years ago. The lake is now in the city limits.

    I grew up fishing and hunting around there and never saw one up close. They were protected then and we didn't hunt them.

  4. I have seen both of those photos before. The large hanging gator was reported (on one website) to have been killed between Athens and Palestine, TX. I deer hunted in that general area for fifteen years.

  5. I posted the same pictures and the story on my blog about a year ago. The pictures have been allocated to many different locations and it took quite a bit research to find out the real location and story behind them.

    This is an exceptionally large alligator and not one I would like to see in the same body of water where I fish. (lol)

    The deer eating gator is from Ga and not Texas. Photos were taken in 2004 I did a story on it back in 2006 which I'm including the link.

    If you go there you'll find a link to the actual US Fish & Wildlife Press Release about this gator.

    That alligator is huge. Is that a real picture? Wow! I live up in the north free of gators. We have a few snapping turles and some snakes that scare me but that gator would maybe keep me in my house. Chris
