He started towards the birds and I had to shoo him away.

I will bring back this old thread with photos of the visitor we had yesterday when I went out to get the mail at our box on the River Road. He was 8 feet long but too cranky. He did bite a piece of 3/4" emt and smash it. We managed to lasso his nose and dragged him up the levee and turned him loose by the Mississippi River which is where I am sure he came from. One of my neighbors down the road had a 6' one in his fish pond last week. They are everywhere here but they are not as bad as the Florida alligators because they are so well fed here. Louisiana has more alligators than the other 49 states put together.

Surprisingly, those 15 YO photos are still available.

I've seen black bears like some of those shown above; yet alligators haven't moved this far north yet.

My wife would never live there... I love Louisiana, beautiful state for sure. Fell in love with St Francisville.

I'd love to have a mated pair of those gators for my ten acre lake. What a surprise for those who sneak in and fish in my lake.

I remember having one longer than my S-10 pick up come walking up outta the swamp one evening long ago.
They're pretty impressive beasts. Until you see them in the wild.
Then, words like terror come to mind when the bull is 6" from the truck.
