Hey Vickie...He's the ultimate alligator story. Several years ago our state decided we had too many alligators so there was an "Alligator Lottery". You signed up to compete for a shot( ;) ) at an alligator hunting permit. Well, do ya think my husband could win a million dollar lottery?? Noooooooooooo....he won ( :rolleyes: ) the priveledge of hunting alligators. No kidding!

For this wonderful experience he had to hire a guide and go in the middle of the night to the middle of Lake Okechobee. Needless to say, this princess stayed home. Anyway, when he came home, to say he smelled like swamp gas would be too kind! Actually, Jack had fun and was glad he did it.

Soooo....that is why our state is safe from unwanted Alligators! Most of the time,anyway :ohmy:
