That’s why our duck seasons suck arse
No one wants their dogs retrieving ducks in September-December when it’s still 80-90 degrees
Our duck seasons should be Nov-February

Man, that really sucks. My 12 year-old boy is autistic. There's been a few times he's eloped with a quickness, literally in seconds, and it scared the shite out of me. We were fishing on the bank at Cane Bayou in Lacombe when he was younger, and he took off down the trail straight into the bayou, chin high in water. I ran after him and pulled him out of the water, and I immediately thought about gators. Whether its Lacombe or lots of places south of the lake, there seems to be a shite ton of gators compared to the past. Heart goes out to his family.

Gators are an important part of the ecosystem.
We have a severe over population of alligators right now in S.E. Louisiana and something needs to be done sooner rather than later as more and more of these stories becomes normal. The days of seeing 7-9 foot alligators have gone to where I'm seeing 10-12 ft monsters regularly. I had a one that was damn near 13 feet come out to my 34 ft boat in the Biloxi marsh and the crazy bastard was biting the props and swimming from one side to the other where I was standing. This was in an unpopulated area and this sucker was stalking me in the boat.

I could be wrong but I believe that was the first recorded death from an alligator in Louisiana history.
Yeah, I remember the man during Ida. I just read that this would only be the second recorded alligator attack death in LA. South Carolina has more deaths from gators than most people probably realise. They've had four since 2020.
I guess the coroner could tell that this boy didn't drown first and was subsequently found by the gator. It isn't hard to think that he could have been drawn to the water, fell or something and drowned, only to have the gator find him.

I went to New Orleans for a work conference last April and there were were probably 5 dead gators on the sides of the interstate from being hit by cars.
Plus multiple live ones here and there, have never seen that many at once along the interstate.

There used to be alligator tours into Bayou Savauge and I remember the owner telling me about a 16 footer they saw a few times on their tour. Said it was unlike any gator they had seen before and the other gators would steer clear of the area this thing was in. Not sure if it’s a BS story or not but they were adamant about the size of it.

On land death roll.

There doesn’t have to be. Life is uncaring and cruel, watch any nature documentary

Any gator in a populated area, big enough to eat a pet, needs to be killed.

i think its the nice way to say the gator prob crushed him with his bite
i wonder if he got in the water and then was attacked, or if maybe he went up to a sunbathing gator

Usually in a populated area or neighborhood, Animal Control will kill any gator over 8-9 foot......anything smaller than that they will catch it and re locate it somewhere in the wild

Almost lost my 12 year old son to an alligator 5 years ago. It changed my mindset on them completely. I now kill ever one I see and could care less about the consequences.

It’s a sensory thing for most autistic kids/people. It’s calming to them and held stimulate/calm their brain. Autistic kids die in drownings all the time. They get to the water for the above reasons and then aren’t skilled/developed enough to swim.
My son is level 1 autistic and we noticed this early on. For years we put him in swimming lessons just to avoid drownings.

The same thing happened to the boy that was taken by a gator at Disney. They actually recovered the body days later. IIRC he was uneaten.

My question is why did the parent not know he was missing until 10:00 the following morning? Yes the police response time is not acceptable, but the parents need to be looked at for neglect as well.

If you've ever interfaced with NOPD, you know they are the most useless police ever.
Had a lady neighbor get roughed up by her ex and they wouldn't come out, had to go to the station where they kept trying to convince us it happened in Jeff Parish. Uh no the f it didn't.
Had my car hit and run, caught on video, and they arrested him a mile away according to friends who saw it all happen. Tried to get the driver's info for my insurance but they wouldn;t tell me. I don't doubt there is little chance of the driver actually having insurance, but stil....

We've had a boom in alligator population in the last five years in east central La. When I go count over 100 alligators in a mile we have an issue. Time to start culling. The state of Louisiana needs to issue two tags per small game license. Not this stupid lotto bs for certain lakes
