A Real Monster

[jetdawgg]

These first two pictures were taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake
Weiss , which is about 90 miles North of Birmingham , Alabama .

The helicopter pilot and the game wardens on the ground were in
communication via 2-way radios. Here is a transcript of their
conversation.

"Air1, have you a visual on the gator? Over."

"Approaching inlet now. Over"

"Roger, Air1."

"Gator sighted. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth. . . moving
in. Over."

"Roger, Air1."

"Oh Crap. It's a Deer!"

"Confirm, Air1. Did you say Deer? Over"

"Roger--a deer in its mouth. . .looks like a full sized buck. That's a big
gator, boys. We're gonna need more men. Over"

"Roger, Air1, can you give me a idea on size of animal? Over."

"It's a big one--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!
The deer was later found to be a mature Stag and was measured at 11 feet
tall!

Are you ready to go skiing on Lake Weiss ?!

If you ski at the west end of the lake, try not to fall overboard.
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 beast 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 after the alligator was
killed, they realized the stories were, if anything, understated.

Alabama Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast. Joe Goff,
a 6'5" tall game warden, shown below, walks past the 28'1" long alligator
that he helped shoot and kill in the Rogers ' back yard.


WOW!!

"Stag"
Bulkyker isn't that what the Duetsch's call a buck red deer?

[Quinbo]

Even in duetchland you would have to wander far and wide to find a stag that stands taller than an elephant (11 feet) .

BEAUFORT, S.C. — Officials say an alligator bit off part of a golfer’s arm as he leaned over to pick up his ball at a private South Carolina course.

The man, who is in his 70s, was retrieving his ball from a pond when the 10-foot alligator bit him at Ocean Creek Golf Course in Beaufort County. The gator pulled the golfer into the pond and ripped off his arm in the struggle.

His golf partners were able to free him.
Wildlife workers killed the alligator and retrieved the arm in the hopes it might be reattached.

The man has not been identified. He was being treated at the Medical University of South Carolina, but officials there would not release any information about him.

A call to the golf course was not immediately returned.

That's it...no golf for me. The first time I was introduced to the game of golf via putting green was in 1963. I sank the ball into the hole and walked over to reach down and get the ball when a baby diamond back rattle snake slithered out and went its merry way. That snake saved me alot of money that I might have used for buying pastel colored pants, white pant belts, argyle sweaters and shoes that had spikes on them. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...the golf equipment!!
This latest escapade with the alligator and golf coarse just cements my resolve not to get involved with that sport, especially in the State of Florida, where I live.

So did the guy keep his arm? Was it saved?
