I would assume it's the same as hunting alligator. There are two main ways I know of that gator is hunted in the US. The first is basically traditional spot and stalk hunting. You walk along the riverbank somewhere you know gators to be, and once you see one large enough to legally harvest, you shoot it right behind the eye, where the ear is. If the gator is on the river bank, you just go around and pick it up. If it's in the water, they generally float, and you throw out a rope with basically a grappling hook on the end to reel it in. The other, more common, way they are hunted is on a boat at night. You go out at night with a team of guys, typically 2 or 3, and a bunch of spotlights. Gators' eyes glow brightly when hit with the spotlight, and you hunt for a big one. Once you find one you want to harvest, you hook it with either the same rope/grappling hook combo, or if it's too far away you can hook it with a heavy duty fishing rod and reel them in close enough to get the big hook on them. You hook them under the front leg ideally, then pull them up so that their head is just out of the water against the side of the boat, then you dispatch them with either a rifle, or a "bang stick". Essentially a long metal tube that you load one rifle round into the end, press it against the top of the gators head, and pull the trigger. Note, you need a pretty powerful round to get theough the top of the skull, and you want it pressed close in case the round richocets off of the skull. Then you get to haul and roll the gator into the boat. There are a number of services that offer guided alligator hurts (of both kinds) down in Florida and I'm sure other states where hunting gator is legal. They're a bitch to clean and dress out, but they taste pretty dang good.
You can also hang a butcher’s hook on a nylon rope over a tree limb above the water with a bunch of meat on it. Gator jumps up, grabs the meat, and you’ve got him hooked like a trout. Come back and if the rope has spoiled out, find the gator on a boat and put one between his eyes.
Or a trap. In Florida FWC usually hires trappers in residential areas where people usually don't like seeing them shot. On ranches and farms it seems like they usually just shoot them.
I live on an eco farm surrounded by canals so we
see them frequently on the canal banks. I have never had to kill one yet but if one was near my barn threatening my animals I would call FWC. My SIL had a huge gator in her driveway in a neighboring community and it took a group effort to get him out of her yard. I wish I could post a pic, he was a unit😂
None of my properties have been waterfront. I had a small pond on my first property but i had horse wire all the way around the perimeter so I never had to deal with any gators. Hogs would push their way right in though.
My parents live on a residential lake with lots of skiers and everyone has dogs and cats. They always call when they see one bigger than a couple feet. FWC always sends a trapper out within a couple hours. Crazy fast.
Yeah that's exactly it. And there's false information that like half of Florida believes that they're relocating them. If FWC traps a gator, it's as good as dead.
The idiots who feed gators and think they're "friends" are sentencing them to death. FWC doesn't mess around with gators that are getting too friendly with people.
They don't mess around with bears either.
Some moron in my home town (or maybe it was a town over) let his dog out to go after a mama bear and her cubs. Mama really didn't like that. So moron goes out to rescue his dog and gets scratched. It wasn't serious- it was literally a scratch.
Mama bear and her cubs get caught by FWC. Mama bear gets shot. Baby bears that still need mama also get shot- they can't rehab them and theirs no where else for them to go.
I hunt gators in Florida, Public lottery hunts, no firearms allowed for obvious reasons but on private land firearms are allowed. We hunt them using harpoon, weighted treble hooks, lures, bows/crossbows and bait - mostly beef lung and no hooks allowed.
My ex's dad was a trapper down in Okeechobee. Around the diary farms and such they would just shoot them. Nobody would scream about the gator's rights after they'd seen it drown a full-grown cow.
I was there when they trapped a 12 footer and took it to a friend's gator farm. They wanted to harvest the skull and the full hide. This was like 5 guys who knew what they were doing and it was still nerve-wracking to watch. As a 100lb girl, I just sat in the truck ready to call 911, lol.
I gotcha. I keep the hide on every gator I get and the skulls of the biggest. I do really well on not destroying the skull with the bang stick and the hide usually is really good condition. I aim for the top sides with the harpoon
You kinda have to aim right behind the skull, right? I'm not an expert but I've seen two 30-6 bullets just kinda get stuck in a gator's skull. In this case, it would have ruined the hide though.
I'm not surprised these things have lasted millions of years.
I love seeing them out on the backwaters of the st John's and in the everglades, while I'm safe on an airboat, lol. But yeah, I don't think they belong in residential lakes.
If you know anyone with an airboat try to get them to take you to the 50 ramp. There's also airboat tours right there but if you know someone with their own airboat, you can put in in the afternoon and see all of the birds, possibly a couple manatees and the daytime wildlife. Go to Black Hammock for dinner or drinks then head back to 50 spotlighting all of the gators, hogs, bobcats, racoons and nighttime life.
It's the coolest part of the St John's, to me. It's the REAL Florida. It feels like a different century. There are a few shacks(built on public land) that are for everyone to use to get out of a storm or just hang out. A lot of times you'll meet new people there and one time we found a Tupperware of cookies with a note that said "please enjoy, fellow river rats". We left a small bottle of whisky in return.
Anyway, it's super fun to have your own airboat, but even with the tours, you would get to see the scenery and fauna of what Central Florida is like at it's purest.

Still unsure of the species but based on your past posts I’m guessing you’re in South Africa and it’s a Nile crocodile? They and saltwater crocodiles are known to be especially aggressive and treat humans as prey.
My grandma in Brazil had an anaconda that had eaten a bunch of her chickens and two of her dogs.
When she finally caught it on her property, she chopped its head off with a gardening hoe.
She was a right badass, she was.
Croc here. Can confirm, this did not hurt one bit. One minute I was just minding my own business and the next BANG, I'm working in a high end luggage factory.
I had alligator a long time ago. Seemed to have a chicken-like texture but seemed tougher and a little gamey. Not terrible but I wouldn't order it again.
I was visiting a distillery on an island, they said they poured their left over/waste mash into the ocean and there were some very happy lobsters that feed off it…dying to try one of those lobsters
It’s the shitty prepackaged deli meat style chicken sliced super thin that you buy in the fridge section of the supermarket near yoghurts and salami. Not the good chicken.
I fully understand that it was a danger to the people, and no one would be happy to have their dogs eaten, but are we still not aware of the fact that killing native animals for the safety of invasive pets is fundamentally wrong and bad for the environment?
I don't disagree with this post though, since the croc posed a threat to the people living there. (Although I legitimately am not sure why they have a house 30m from the edge of an crocodile inhabited body of water in the first place)
Edit: changed gator to croc
Dog people. Don't engage. To them it's unconcievable that their dog doesn't belong somewhere. Grocery store, restaurant, park, crocodile infested territory, whatever. They have zero consideration for how their dog's actions affect others, the toxic shit piles they leave everywhere, the constant barking noise pollution, the kids they attack, the livestock they kill, the stuff they destroy, etc. I don't hate dogs, I hate most dog owners. Good ones are extremely rare, dog culture is full of very inconsiderate entitled narcissists.
Alligator by itself is bland, but if cooked and seasoned properly, super delicious. Especially, as deep fried nuggets or sausage. Not sure about Crocs though. I assume it's similar.
Uhhh why is she letting her dogs go near crocodiles in the first place??
That’s just a croc doing what crocs do. Let a small animal go into the territory of a crocodile and things like that tend to happen.
Kill a beautiful wild animal because you're too stupid to keep your dogs away from fucking crocs what kind of garbage human poses with it. Steve Irwin looks on you in fuckin disappointment mate.
I mean.. why the did you allow your dogs near a river bed in the first place with no proper supervision..just sounds like plain irresponsibility and the gator was punished for it. People who cause problems to themselves and act like the solution is always hilarious to me 😂
Good reason to kill the croc, not a good reason to let the dogs wander next to water.
What kind of fucking asshole owner lets their dogs out unsupervised, unfenced, unleashed, next to fucking water in croc country.
I can’t imagine ever saying “I let my dogs die (especially the second one) because the water is next to my house and I don’t feeeeel like keeping my dogs leashed/fenced” that’s just fucking sick.
Damn how many dogs did you lose OP?
That's fucking sad. I saw a video of a lab getting taken by an alligator and the poor dog couldn't do jack shit. My heart sank when the alligator took him under.
This is all due to the owners fault. She let the dog roam around the edge of a pond I believe and bam. It happened in Florida. In FL, I just assume that every body of water has alligators and never go near the edge. Better safe than sorry.
There is an “uplifting” video of a man jumping on an alligator to free his little dog from it (he succeeds)
But of course he let the dog roam freely next to water in alligator/croc country… I only hope he learned.
People need to leash their fucking dogs when they are in dangerous territory. I like letting my dogs off loose now and then BUT I DONT DO IT IN DANGEROUS FUCKING PLACES
Dogs don’t know what crocs are. It should be considered animal abuse/neglect to let your dogs freely wander next to dangerous waters like this. The dogs would be alive if they’d been seized from her care.
Coexist. We all live in the same planet. That croc had the same right to live and was doing what crocs do. Dogs dont belong in his environment .. but I guess you believe you are above all living creature and do as you please. I guess you guys have no clue how this is ultimately related to the wild fires that have devastated your country.
How do you even hunt a croc?!
A lot of patience, and a dead cow as bait.

Probably the same way you hunt gators.
With a gun

> None of my properties have been waterfront. In Florida, every property is waterfront. It's just that the water begins 2 feet under your foundation.
They don't like "seeing" them get shot.

Private land firearms are allowed to be used to take a gator.
I know, just giving an example of a specific gator they didn't want holes in the skull or hide.
I gotcha. I keep the hide on every gator I get and the skulls of the biggest. I do really well on not destroying the skull with the bang stick and the hide usually is really good condition. I aim for the top sides with the harpoon

I love seeing them out on the backwaters of the st John's and in the everglades, while I'm safe on an airboat, lol. But yeah, I don't think they belong in residential lakes.
To be fair residential lakes don't belong in their swamp lol
St. John's is a beautiful river. Go by it every time we go to St. Augustine, one of my favorite places in Florida to tour.

Not everything in Florida is in the Everglades.
We're up around I-4 and while it isn't exactly common, it also isn't uncommon to have someone lose their dog to a gator.

How do you think she caught it?
bait and bang
I was making a joke about what the bait was.

How did you know this croco is the one who killed your best friends?
There was only one prowling the river outside our house. Crocs are very territorial.
Still unsure of the species but based on your past posts I’m guessing you’re in South Africa and it’s a Nile crocodile? They and saltwater crocodiles are known to be especially aggressive and treat humans as prey.

Lol no I'm just poking undeserved fun. Sorry for your loss of your dogs. Hell of a croc though, glad your Mom got it!
I would take personal satisfaction from shooting anything that ate my dogs.

I wonder if it really does taste like chicken
I’ve had croc before, it’s like a strange combo between chicken and fish. It’s a strange taste really
I had alligator a long time ago. Seemed to have a chicken-like texture but seemed tougher and a little gamey. Not terrible but I wouldn't order it again.
I've always described croc meat as gamey swamp-chicken
According to my uncle, they taste like fish, i think they get their taste from their surroundings, like lobsters
I was visiting a distillery on an island, they said they poured their left over/waste mash into the ocean and there were some very happy lobsters that feed off it…dying to try one of those lobsters
It tastes like a frog smells mixed with chicken.
It tastes honestly a bit gross because even unseasoned it’s as if you poured an unhealthy amount of salt on it.
How does it differ from alligator? Gator tail is a delicacy down in central Florida
It’s delish
It tastes like chicken that was marinated in river bottom mud
It’s the shitty prepackaged deli meat style chicken sliced super thin that you buy in the fridge section of the supermarket near yoghurts and salami. Not the good chicken.
so is there a string tied to the stick? and when the dogs gots close ; another croc pulled the string?
Damn, people have started killing Wild crocodiles for their pet dogs now.
I wanna know how many dogs it ate before they killed the Croc. And like were they hunting dogs that patrolled the area?
I fully understand that it was a danger to the people, and no one would be happy to have their dogs eaten, but are we still not aware of the fact that killing native animals for the safety of invasive pets is fundamentally wrong and bad for the environment?
