My lovely dog decided that sprinklers turning on was a full fledged attack. ::) She's generally very quiet, so after grabbing the gun and phone,It was impossible to get back to sleep. What I found was I could post the text, but not the pictures, without which it was much less impressive. The punchline, a bull gator swiming easily with a full grown deer in its mouth. Yikes!

A leaf blowing across the yard in front of the window sets my fierce little ankle mauler into a frenzy.  A quick command shuts him up pretty quickly.  The middle of the night squirrel fart is what we need to work on!

That would be the very one. ;D Not sure I buy the 28 feet claim, but still, it would grizzlys all day long. As for guns? Well anything with a tripod mount would be the place to start. :o

You might wanna rethink your doubts, FQ.  From what I read, the LEO in the pic is 6-5, and look at the comparison.

Even though this is a "tiny" 5 footer, kinda makes those guys that "noodle" for catfish seem like a sissy..... :o

As a native Floridian, there is nothing at all funny about video number two. That guy needs to be in jail. "Lets teach a gator that a human with a fish = food".  >:( That's about as cool as frying up a bunch of bacon and leaving it for the bears outside a campground in jellystone. Someone's going to get get killed. Hopefully the bonehead. However, just like the drunk driver always seems to survive the accident, it will probably be a third party releasing a bass.

And I thought my German Shepherd was a good guard dog! ;D

Seriously, I agree that gators don't need to know humans are a food source. That pretty well goes for any wild predators.

This was my point. Gators top out at about 16 feet. Crocs? Well no one knows (yet ;D). The claims of 28 feet, thats "Lake Placid" territory, but still, I'll take a Griz any day.

14ft is that all they grow?

Saltwater crocs have been known to grow to over 7m/22ft and weigh in at over 2200 pounds (just a tad under twice the lentgh of that one in the video)
Average size for a large male is between 5-6 metres (15-19ft)
The tourist opeators hand feed them in the river with chooks and then they wonder why tourists dissapear LOL

I forgot to mention the largest one they ever caught at Normanton after they had floods back in the 50's it went a mere 28ft long  :P or more than twice as big as the gator in the pic.

How big is that you might think?
Well this is a life size rep of him (can google it if ya dont all believe me LOL)

Know why gators are so ornary? Small Croc Syndrome!!!!
