Alligator Hunting Season is Here Again

Call me a rebel, but I don’t like gator hunting season.  Never have.  Captain Harold doesn’t hunt gators (yet anyway) but he has gone on some nighttime scouting trips with friends of his who DO gator hunt.

 

Since part of our job as an airboat ride company is showing our passengers gators, I think we should just leave them all alone.

 

Besides I don’t want blood on the airboat.  Just kidding!

 

I know we need the hunting to keep the gator population under control – it’s definitely bounced back from being on the endangered list years ago.  In fact, hunting gators has been legal in Florida since 1988.

 

Florida Fish and Wildlife estimates there are 1.3 million gators lurking in the Sunshine State.  And 6,000 gator hunting licenses.

 

I’ll never tell where the big ones are hiding.  In fact, I’m rooting for their survival.

 

Be careful gators.

 

Be very careful.
