Heck, we didn't swim in Lake Apopka 'cause of the gators, not 'cause of the pesticides from the farms. Eating the catfish all those years before the studies were done, I've got so much mercury in me that I don't need a temp gun, I'm a walking thermometer.

The gators are still holding strong in the lake despite the deformities, infertility, etc, of years ago. Less traffic equals less poaching, too. I rode out to the pumphouse on the farms when I was down for Thanksgiving and there were 7 or 8 gators between 4ft - 14ft. At least 4 were over 10ft.

And to tie all this in with this thread; I didn't bother trying to sex 'em 'cause I didn't know if they were all raised as a group from the start. Plus, while it's easy to sex a gator, it's not always easy getting to that point.

Catch ya later!
