Alligator Hunting
A woman walking her dog was killed this morning when an alligator attacked her and dragged her into a small pond at an upscale Hilton Head residential and vacation community. Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office received a call around 9:30 a.m. on Monday morning, Aug. 20, about a possible alligator attack near a lagoon in Sea Pines…
Freak Creek became more like Nightmare Creek for a 15-year-old when at least one large alligator, possibly multiple gators, forced the central Florida girl to cling to a tree for more than 45 minutes. According to the girl’s mom in a frantic 911 call, a huge gator tried to get the girl and would not…
It’s amazing what gets the most attention on the internet and social media these days. An obviously prank video of an alligator “attack” went viral the past couple of days. The Rock, aka Dwayne Johnson, may be long gone from the WWE, but his People’s Elbow signature move is still a tool in the belt…
The Facebook video below from Fox 29 shows a south Florida man rescuing a 4-foot Florida gator from the grip of an invasive 10-foot python snake.

I’m sure the actual attack was something similar to what you see on The Discovery Channel when a Nile crocodile glides smoothly just under the water toward a slurping gazelle as it enjoys a cool drink in the late-afternoon sun. As the animal drinks the moving river water, an explosion of white water and set of…
Just a simple observation; the number of successful gator pictures GON has received for the 2017 season seems to be off. With the season not ending until Oct. 2, it’s still too early to know if we’re looking at a slower year or not. Those numbers will likely be published this fall at http://georgiawildlife.com.

Henderson Wright, of Dalton, had the hunt of his life last September while hunting in Clinch County. Henderson had been trying for five years to draw a alligator tag in Zone 6. Once he got a tag, it was time to set up his rig to catch one of these gators. He opted for a heavy duty…
I have wanted to do an alligator hunt since 2007 when I first starting applying for and saving up priority points. When I read a GON article about a Georgia state record gator from Lake Blackshear in 2008, I knew without a doubt it was something I wanted to experience at least once in my…
Mark Fletcher, of Palmetto, tagged a monster gator from Georgia’s side of Lake Eufaula in the early hours of Monday morning, Sept. 21. Mark and fellow hunters knew there was a big gator in a specific area after a 12-footer was caught nearby that had a relatively fresh 10-inch bite mark on its tail. “We…
