Casey Grover (middle), of Douglasville, killed this 12-6 on Lake Seminole. Also on the hunt were Derrick McNab (left) and Hunter Childs.
Gator season closed after the first week of October and ended with 408 gators being harvested. That’s the second-best year recorded since WRD started hosting a Georgia alligator season in 2003. The season with the most gators ever taken was in 2023, when 471 Georgia alligators were killed.
The biggest recorded gator from the 2024 was 164 inches (13-7) in length. Although GON hasn’t heard from the hunters, WRD says it was taken on Lake Seminole.
As GON always does in November, we empty the file of those gator photos we received. We published a good many last month, and they are currently at https://gon.com/hunting/gon-gator-gallery-2024.
