Phil Robertson. He is the Duck Commander. The OP is the CajunCommander. I am guessing there is a tie-in there somewhere.

i will only believe this if the gator is bigger than 6' and if the ducks were babies.

I sat out and talked to one of the trappers getting a gator out of my pond for hours. Gators below 9' usually dont eat anything they cant swallow whole. because they dont want to attract competition. The larger ones will kill bigger prey and let it rot before eating but they can guard it from other gators. smaller ones cant.

We had a 6' one on the Diversion a couple of years ago that was watched trying to take a 45lb dog off a dock.

I can tell you this is false. They might not eat them on the spot but they will take full size ducks. We teal hunt in the marsh and sometimes we get gators in our ponds and if you don't run them out before shooting time, they will snatch dead teal on the water with the quickness. It is also not big ones, most of the thieves are small gators. The bad thing is that if they do it once, they will always hang around the pond.

say man, thats what the gator expert told me. This wasnt the stereotypical baw trapper. But i could see how that standard is different on the diversion with how accustom to people those gators are. I have seen some massive ones on the way to BrB.

That's why we never run our dogs in marsh ponds that they have to swim in until we have had a really good freeze or 2 and then it is still a judgement call because a gator will still jump on a dog that just happens to get too close to their happy place.

I want to kill the gator. Problem is I'm 1 of probably 15 or 20 houses on the lake. If the wrong neighbor watches me do it and then reports me to the authorities, that is a headache I'd rather not deal with.

Neighbor apparently found a decapitated duck head yesterday... We were hoping he would go away but he's been there long enough that it seems he will stay.

any way you can put a line out to catch the gator then kill it after dark with a .22 CB cap or subsonic round? I wouldn't want to risk the headache either, but there has to be an opportunity to grease this thing and not get caught.
Can you shoot it from inside your home? Through a window or garage so the shot is muffled? Pre-dawn hours maybe?

Cant shoot it from in my house. It'd be a 100+ yard shot.

I think my best option is to put a line out and catch him early in the morning.

that's what I'm thinking. Hook him and drag him somewhere semi-private and dispatch him.

I seriously doubt any judge would really hammer you for killing this gator, but you'll still have to deal with green jeans and any other shite if a neighbor sees you.

Just go covert and kill him at night

Just go at night with any baw in the Cajun Navy with this rig and say you're practicing night rescues and cap his arse

Ok seriously... why don’t you just call animal control?? It’s not worth risking a felony to do something yourself that the city will pay to have someone else do it for you??

Serves them right for having poultry in a neighborhood. They should consider themselves lucky the gator got to them before the HOA did
