Fastest time between gator, and safety, is a straight line. Remember that a gator can catch a horse from a dead standstill! Don't spend any more time in his vicinity than necessary!

Gators are mostly no problem.Just like any animal,mess with it and you can be hurt.Ive wade fished around em and run crawfish traps and no problems.Except having to chase em off traps.I once tangled with a 11ft er over a crab trap an he lost.A lead injection is a good cure for nastiness.
