I've never been around them, so they fall into that snake and spider clasification for me.
I'm scared of em and don't want em around!!!
I think I'm to far North for gators on my place, but people are always telling me about them in the Tyler area, but I think it's more rumor than fact.
If there really was Gators in the Tyler area, I'd think they would make the news and not just be stories from fisherman and duck hunters. Two groups that I'm a member of and can attest to the creative level of information they share. hahaha
If I saw one in my pond, I'd get rid of it just like a copper head or black widow. Some things I just don't mess with, and it doesn't matter how often or how many I have to deal with, that's just what I'm going to do.
Thanks for sharing the picture,
Eddie
