The Charlotte Observer
quote:
The mysterious disappearance of multiple hunting dogs was solved Thursday when a hunter hauled a 12-foot alligator into a South Carolina wild game meat plant.
Inside the massive reptile’s stomach were the undigested tags from five dog collars, according to Cordray’s butcher shop in Ravenel, just west of Charleston.
Cordray’s staff also found: “1 bullet jacket, 1 spark plug, loads of turtle shells, and several bobcat claws.”
quote:
“Two of the tags were legible and one phone number still worked,” the shop wrote on Facebook. “The owner said he had (hunted the same area) 24 years ago and those were from his deer dogs.”
quote:
The 445-pound alligator was killed on private land by hunter Ned McNeely, according to the butcher shop. He not only wanted the meat harvested, but he is also having “a life size mount” of the alligator created by Cordray’s Taxidermy operation.

I'm not changing it.
My first clickbait title happened by accident. I'm kind of proud.

How big would a 12' gator have been 24 years ago? Big enough to kill deer hounds?

How did all that debris say in the alligators digestive system? Amazing.

Using only my expertise gleaned from Swamp People, they grow a foot a year through the first six years or so. After that, it slows down significantly. So, that said, he was about 350 back then.

Used to find beer pop tops by the dozens in Their bellies back when you still had to skin them out and butcher them (late 70's early 80s) even car keys once.
Ol timer told me anything shiny theyll eat off the bottom thinking its a fish/shad.

My favorite quote from that show was from Bruce:
"That monster will tear a man in half, and bend the hell out of a Cajun."

Yeah I was thinking soldiers at first too.

Gators live a about 40-50 years so probably 8-9 feet but much skinnier.

This is the correct answer according to the OT.

I was surprised when I first heard that, too. But, there was a show several years back that tried to cash in on the Swamp People popularity that followed a couple gator hunters in South Carolina.

There's only one thing an alligator likes better than a dog.
