New Alabama Record Alligator.

[AdamJoshua]

"Alligators are still protected by law," according to the state's wildlife services website, but "Alabama has instituted a program for limited hunting in an effort to control populations and increase the animal's wariness to humans."

Should have let this one go, it's lived a long time and probably didn't deserve to get offed by some inbred hicks.

That's the ones you wanna get. The ones who can swallow people whole.
They're supposed to be fantastic eating, too. Look at the size of the steaks you'd get off that tail, Adam. They'd be like Fred Flintstone steaks. Squirt a quart of Fat Boy's sauce on it, and you got some good eating!!!

I've never shot or cleaned a gator. I have no idea if they're white meat or red meat or what. I saw some folks in Florida eating Iguana they shot in the mangroves, and that meat looked just like squirrel or rabbit.
Now I need to go google alligator meat.
Edit:
Huh. It looks a lot like fish meat on the order of salmon. Pinkish like chicken. Super lean. I bet it's delicious.
