Gator Hunting


Today around noon Becky, Steve, Emily, and I were crusing down the Flint River in Bainbridge. We had just passed under the first railroad bridge north of the US 84 bridge and were flagged down by Benny West, an independent alligator hunter. Benny asked us to wait for a few minutes because he was trying to capture the alligator that had eaten a dog that was playing in the water near a public park the week before. We agreed and thought it would be great photo opportunity but the gator swam away as Benny approached. Benny motioned us to continue on as he took a rod and reel and tried to catch the gator that way.
