This is just stupid. The alligator population is out of control. Troy should get a medal for thinning out the herd.

Futrhermore, the alligator farms (owned by attorneys, insurance agents, doctors, etc.as a "hobby" + foreign skins) are what led to a saturation of the market.

Why can’t you get tags? Who gets the tags for your lease?

How was there a call of trespassing when he was allowed to be there? I call BS on the trespassing call. LDWF probably full of crap

yep - Duck Hunters all the way up to Monroe have to wait until it freezes to use their dogs

And I saw a video of some guys shooting teal, the gators would get them before they could pick them up.

Game wardens can suck a lot of the time.

I had a buddy get voted for spotlighting and hunting at night (he wasn’t) just because he had a spotlight and rifle in his truck. He ran coon dogs often and that’s why he had the spotlight.

A few weeks later, realizing they couldn’t win the case they worked out a deal with the ADA that lowered it to an equivalent of shoplifting. Small town Nebraska papers used to print charges in the “crime” section and this dude see his name being charged with shoplifting and went absolutely ballistic.

Rightly so. It’s one thing to be accused of poaching a whole another to be accused of being a thief.

I know the guy that reported him but he didn’t realize it was Troy so you’re probably right

He was charged with this only because he's probably a Trump supporter.

No, he had permission but the tags he had were not for that area. Gator tags are issued on a property specific basis. You can't take tags that were issued for property A and use those tags to hunt property B

Troy may have permission to hunt the property but he did not have the tags for the property. I get 35 tags for one lease and 4 tags for another property. The tags are tied to the land they are issued on. One year I had to run off one of the swamp people off my land. To them it about TV time ($$).

Translation: "Dammit. We have to charge him with something to justify all of this."

We have way too many alligators. LDWF should issue each licensee 6 (or random number of) alligator tags, just like deer tags.

If you own property that has gators, all you have to do is contact LDWF and they'll issue tags based on the property size, habitat quality, and estimated gator population you have.

In the past, landowners would get tags and then sell those tags to commercial hunters. But with the market price for gators plummeting, there's fewer people hunting them commercially. So if the landowner doesn't have a commercial hunter to sell tags to or doesn't want to hunt them himself, those tags end up going unfilled.

LDWF does a lottery program that's open to the public for getting gator tags on public lands that are managed by LDWF. But they can't do much about unfilled tags on private lands.
