Pretty far north and a little cold.
Damn global warming
Green pants almost didn't respond because they thought it was a prank call.

Nothing surprises me anymore, I agree it was prob a pet and was tossed in the lake

If Mom isn't nearby then it was released there.

There was an adult recently discovered in the Chattahoochee in the ATL area in the trout stream part of it. Atlanta is not out of range for Alligators, however, that section of the hooch is ice cold water running out of the bottom of Lake Lanier, and supposedly too cold for alligators to live. It's obviously not global warming, it's more that wildlife learns to adapt and survive and spread, in my opinion.

They released some decades ago in north Alabama (Lauderdale County) on the Tennessee River for beaver control. Thought they wouldn't survive. They were wrong. Mostly centrally located in Wheeler Lake, but not uncommon in the summers to find them branching out.

A few years ago, a guy fishing on the TN River portion of Pickwick lake recorded an alligator on the bank of the river.

They removed a 6 footer from Cypress Creek (feeds into Pickwick Lake) a few years back.
It was in about 3-5 feet of water. Guy was kayaking and thought it was a log at first.
It was within 100 yards of my prime crawdaddy catching spot when I was a kid.

Sometimes they come out of hibernation early. We once found one in January in Tensas. He was still so out of it, it was like he was high as shite. He just laid there for two days. Never moved.

Shark Valley in Miami is awesome in Dec and Jan just for this reason.
It's a big arse bike/walking loop in the Everglades. Huge gators will crawl out onto the paved parts and just lay there.
Pretty awesome. Monsters wide awake but too cold to expend any energy as you jog by.

Is he going to be charged for harassing it?
Posted on 3/21/24 at 4:34 pm to deeprig9
I guarantee he would have been charged if he re-released an invasive species or charged if he had killed it.
Stupid laws.

Most of those were released in Limestone County in Beaver Dam, Limestone, and Piney creeks. All of those creeks run together at an area called Arrowhead Landing, before running into the main river. It has quite a few gators now, some are pretty big too.
Also quite a few in the surrounding gravel pits. Most of them are on Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.
They first put them when I was a teenager, maybe 1974?
I remember we used to go look at 1 of them that stayed near the Beaver Dam Creek bridge on Highway 20.
He was probably less than 5 feet long back then, but he was a pretty big deal to us.

13ft gator on the Redstone Arsenal riverfront swamps

I'm sure he is headed to the "remote location in the vicinity of Elk River" where they seem to take them all now
