unioncountyslayer Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 This picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Conroe! (For those of you who are not local, Lake Conroe is near Conroe , TX .) That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth! Are you ready to go skiing on Lake Conroe ?! If you ski at the west end of the lake -- try not to fall. Date: Sun, 21 May 2006 06:14:24 -0500 This alligator was found between Athens and Palestine, Texas... 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 being exaggerations. (after all, this is Texas!). "I didn't believe it," Charles Rogers said. Friday they realized the stories were, if anything, understated. Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast... Joe Goff, 6'5" tall, a game warden with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, walks past the 23-foot, one inch alligator that he shot and killed in the back yard of Anita and Charlie Rogers... Personally, I think that the Texas Game and Wildlife wardens made a huge mistake when they shot this beast. With a little planning they easily could have transplanted it to the Rio Grande River. Now that should have cut down on the illegal migration just a tad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
