The following pictures are of alligators, not dinosaurs. I think someone’s pulling our leg.
The two beasts were caught within hours of each other in the swamps of Mississippi. Hunting season ends there September 9th.
It took 1.5 hours for Beth Trammell and her fellow hunters to wrangle the gator.
With two lines on it, the animal fought hard for 1 1/2 hours and pushed Trammell’s husband, Rob, and hunter Sean King, of Yazoo City to their physical limits. When the alligator finally surfaced beside the boat, Beth Trammell said, “Oh, my gosh. It’s the Loch Ness monster.”
The six-person party spent the following two hours trying to wrestle the behemoth into the boat and finally succeeded after two other hunters offered assistance.
A few miles away, Dustin Bockman shot a gator of equal size with a crossbow.
There they sat for the next 2 1/2 hours, swatting mosquitoes and waiting for help. “Tired, hungry, we’d been pulling on a 700-pound gator for four hours, and we really needed a nap at that point,” said Bockman. Sleep never came, but help did and 12 hours after their hunt began, the three finally had their gator and boat on their trailer.
My response to all this? NOPE, NOPE and NOPE.
Not going down south and not going to Australia anytime soon.
