I don’t support the wanton waste of any animal or hunting out of season. but given how many gators we have, I find it hard to get upset about this one.
Whoever shot it is an a-hole, but it ain’t like he just shot the last Ivory Billed Woodpecker.

I won't say I killed a lot of them as a kid.
But we kept them out of our ponds and the woods near the house.

If a gator is shot in the woods and no authorities are around to see it...

takes a real POS to let that much meat from a native species go to waste.

If you shot one then the next day you see another one to shoot at, you didn’t keep them out the ponds

Never shot one - but I'll admit to being tempted several times.
Catching bass on top-water baits (like lunker lures or WP's), and having to deal with alligators who want to grab your bait, is irritating.

We have had one in the 20 years since.
I think we did a good job.

I always found that if gators were around, I wasn't going to catch many or any fish at that spot. Easy and wise solution was to move to a different spot.

I’m going to go with some 16-20 yr old who was influenced by his podnahs and a few gold tops. Most of us all did things without fully thinking about the consequences when we were that age. Nothing to see here.

how do people down there feel about Gators? Id want them all dead, scary mofos. This is also because Ive neve seen one.

Unless you are baiting them or attracting them with noise and splashing of topwater baits, they will just slowly swim away when you get near them. Not saying I would jump in the water if a 10 footer were nearby, but look up alligator attacks. They are extremely rare. I've been swimming in the marsh many times, and they are all over down here.

attacks in Louisiana are pretty much unheard of among folks who aren't dumbasses. You gotta be harassing them or beings straight up stupid to get attacked. Just googled it, the last fatal alligator attack in Louisiana was in the 1700s.

Alligator numbers have exploded in the last 25 years, but for some reason attacks on humans are extremely rare in this state.
In fact, it is claimed that Louisiana has never experienced a fatal gator attack, but that may be incorrect.
A 1774 coroner’s inquest at the French outpost of Fort St. Jean Baptiste in Natchitoches concluded that an alligator killed one of the area residents.
About 7 a.m. on August 10, a slave woman informed coroner Jacques de la Chaise that there was a nude body lying on the bank of Red River (modern-day Cane River).
De la Chaise, Father Vitry, and a handful of other men went to the river and found the body of Jacques du Bois, the fort’s blacksmith, lying half in the water.
De la Chaise wrote in his coroner’s report, “We found near the ear, three wounds equally distant from [illegible]. In addition to this, we found the eyes bulging and unusually swollen. We did not notice any other wound on the rest of the body, which led us to believe an alligator had attacked him while he was bathing, since we found the body nude.”Whenever someone died at Fort St. Jean Baptiste, it was customary to inventory all of their possessions. If there was no heir, the local people were called to the fort by a series of drum rolls for a public auction of the goods.
Jacques du Bois was a bachelor who lived in a single room supplied by his employer, fort commandant Louis Juchereau de St. Denis.

I had a guy I worked with say he'd kill a Sturgeon if he ever happened to catch one because it looked scary and he wouldn't want it in the same water that his kids swim in. Dumbass.
