a resting gator bumped by a dog.. will bite unless it is damned near frozen...




That's why even if you are not hunting water where the dog has to swim, you really need to be aware of where your dog is on long marks where they might be chasing a cripple. We might be hunting shallow marsh were the dog never swims but cripples typically swim to banks to escape and those banks are very good spots for gators to sun. Even if lethargic, a dog that just stumbles up on a resting gator chasing a duck could get bit and although probably not fatal, could be career ending.
