They double team gators, one distracting them while the other comes up from beneath and rips their throat open. After the gator drowns they haul it ashore and chow down. Generally they stick to killing smaller gators, 3 to maybe 6' length, at least as far as I'm aware. Still when they show up in the back yard the gators leave, regardless of size
Thing they do that amazes me most is they eat crabs. Shells and all. Then they pass the shells. And people think they are tuff. Hell, I bet that would bring a tear to even Hulk Hogan's eyes.
I am..........disturbed.

I used to encounter them quite often south of Monterey where I used to spearfish & snag scallops...They seemed pretty docile to me, certainly not intimidating. Any creature on earth can decide to come after you at any given time...I once had to kill a sparrow that kept coming at me...no nest that I ever found & I never could figure out why...
Just got off the phone with an EPO Sgt., and he said I was all set, just to mention his name and call F&W Monday for a tag.
Anyone have a good contact/recommendation for case tanning furs, I'd appreciate it. Preferably in New England, but shipping isn't that big of an issue. As the bastards have essentially taken trapping away from us in MA, I don't have the foggiest idea about this stuff. Appreciate any help.
Kamo, that would make a beautiful mount.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

We've got some ground owls around here that seem to have an appetite for crawdads...how they can see & catch them is a mystery to me....but the broken shells in their scat next to the burrows is a dead giveaway...

Proving once again that truth is often stranger better than fiction.
PETA hasn't made exactly great strides in putting an end to this, and many other Japanese traditions, apparently. Bird looks pretty happy to me. I wish I could have a herd of the things. Leave my trout rods at home, and just bring the cormies along in a sack or something. A dozen would be a reasonable number. Gang rig 'em like a Texas duck spread. Whip the lot over the side and crack a frosty or what have you, until each one has a fish stuck in his gullet, then drag the whole rig back into the skiff. Would be pretty slick, but I'm thinking the tangles generated by my bird slaves would get pretty bad...

Well, it seems I spouted off and made a statement that wasn't accurate. Otter MAY BE trapped in MA. There is no season for them as far as firearm, but there is in fact a season for them. Apologies for the bad info I posted earlier.
