Aligator problems in Florida…try Alabama!

Think we have problems in Florida with aligators? If so, check this out in Alabama:

This picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Wiessabout 90 miles north of Birmingham , Alabama !
 Â
 The helicopter pilot and the game warden were in communication via radio’s here is a transcript of their conversation.
 Â
 ‘Air1 have you a visual on the gator, over’
 Â
 ‘Approaching inlet now, over’
 Â
 ‘Roger Air1’
 Â
 ‘Gator sighted.. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth. moving in, over’
 Â
 ‘Roger Air1’
 Â
 ‘Holy Crap it’s a Deer!’
 Â
 ‘confirm Air1.. did you say Deer?, Over’
 Â
 ‘Roger.. a Deer in its mouth.. looks like a full sized buck.. that’s a big gator, were gonna need more men, Over’
 Â
 ‘Roger Air1..can you give me a idea on size of animal, over’
 Â
 ‘Its big 25 feet at least, please advise Gator is heading to inlet.. do I pursue?, over’

That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth!
Â
The deer was later found to be a mature Stag and was measured at 11feet!

Are you ready to go skiing on Lake Wiess ?!

If you ski at the west end of the lake — try not to fall.

This alligator was found between Centre and Leesburg , Alabama near a house! Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator – guess he wouldn’t cooperate…

Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night.
Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their house,
but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations.’

I didn’t believe it,’ Charles Rogers said, but they realized the stories were, if anything, understated.Alabama Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast.
Joe Goff, 6’5′ tall, a game warden, walks past the 28-foot, 1-inch alligator 8.5 metres he shot and killed in their back yard.
