I really wish that we had the camera at the house this morning, but my father had taken it with him to work. Let me explain what happened...A few weeks ago my mom came home to see some neighborhood kids in the lake swimming and jumping off the dock, they were having a grand time. One of the fathers also pointed out that there were also two alligators not too far off that were just out there as well. They were not bothering the kids, but hey thats still a scary thing to see.
So my mom called the county to see if there was anyone who could come and remove the gators. They actually have guys that do this for a living, how would you like to be known as the gator hunter. On the phone they made sure to let my mom know that if they came to the lake and caught the gator, they would not remove it and put it in another location they would infact kill it... She told them that she was fine with that.
So a few weeks have past and nothing has happened, but we have not seen any gators. On Saturday I took out two neighbor kids on the jetski and the tube and after we were done we just sat in the lake and talked and picked up clams and I did not think twice of alligators or anthing like that...This morning I was at my parents house helping my mother with something, when there came a knock at the door... It was two gator hunters that had been out this morning on the lake, searching for the gators... GUESS WHAT, they struck GOLD!!! As week looked out of the house and into the boat that was behind the truck we could see an alligator head pearing out over the side. They had actually caught two gators this morning. There was a seven foot gator in the lake to the west of ours and then the gator that they pulled out of our lake was nine feet. It was huge...
Dang, why did my dad have to leave so early this morning, when a picture was needed so badly. But it got me thinking of being in the lake on Saturday and we were just out there and its kinda weird thinking that there was a gator across the lake, but we had a good time. It will not stop me from going out and playing in the water and having a good time, really the gators stay to themselves...
COME AND VISIT!!!
