The bottom line is if there is a gator threatening my dogs life my friend is going to put a bullet in said gator's head.

how about your dog stays where the frick he belongs which is away from the gator's habitat.

Shoot in the head with .243 or bigger. It will sink, pretend like it never happened.

I know someone who years ago worked for the railroad and they were clearing a culvert beneath the track. A 9 foot gator was inside the culvert when they got the sticks and crap removed. It lunged at one of the men and another killed it with one strike from a 40# sledge. Flattened his head. I guess if you swing one all day for a living your get pretty good at it.

Why not just get the nuisance hunter to do it? Do you just really want to kill it yourself?

What is considered a nuisance alligator?

Not all alligators are considered nuisance alligators. The mere presence of an alligator does not qualify it as a nuisance, even if it is located in an unexpected place. Most alligators, if left alone, will move on. Alligators less than 4 feet in length are naturally fearful of humans and are generally not a threat to pets, livestock or humans. Alligators at least 4 feet in length that present a threat to pets, livestock or humans are considered “nuisance” alligators. The following information should help you determine if an alligator may pose a threat to you, your pets/livestock or your property. If, after reading the following, you determine that an alligator is a "nuisance”, please see “How can I report a nuisance alligator?” below.

How can I report a nuisance alligator?

Anyone experiencing problems with nuisance alligators may contact any Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries office to make a nuisance alligator complaint. The LDWF office will record pertinent information and supply that person with a nuisance alligator complaint number and the name and contact information of the nuisance alligator hunter for your area. You will then contact the nuisance alligator hunter and provide him/her the necessary information. The nuisance alligator hunter should respond within 24 hours (less in an emergency situation). Nuisance alligator hunters may charge up to $30 per complaint for removal of nuisance alligators less than 6’. In most cases alligators less than 4’ are not considered a nuisance or threat to welfare of pets, livestock or humans.

Would relocation of the gators be an option where you live?

Kill it.
Dispose of it.
Don't talk about it or take pics.
Problem solved.
