On the lighter side....

It makes me rethink my willingness to shoot an arrow at a pair of illuminated eyes if thats whats under them....Geeez. I need the arrow head with ordinance on it...

DISPATCH METHODS (Per SCDNR)
Once the alligator has been captured and brought adjacent to the boat it may be dispatched. Hunters are required by law to bring the animal boatside or to shore before attempting to dispatch the alligator. The animal may be killed with the use of a bangstick or a handgun (any caliber). To use a bangstick, the hunter should first allow the alligator’s head to go below the water’s surface. The hunter should then discharge the bangstick just behind the base of the skull/neck junction. The animal also may be dispatched by discharging a handgun at the base of the skull. Both the bangstick and
the handgun should be aimed at the brain, angled slightly forward from just behind the rear of the skull. Hunters should note that the improper placement and discharge of the handgun or bangstick can occasionally only knock the alligator temporarily unconscious. Remember to only discharge a bangstick underwater. Alligatorsmay not be transported in a boat or vehicle alive.

NEVER ASSUME THAT ANY ALLIGATOR IS DEAD. Do not shoot an alligator between the eyes or on the top of the skull.
The skull is very thick and a bullet may ricochet off of the skull.

CAPTURED...you've got to be kidding. What does one do to CAPTURE a reptile that is bigger than your boat? You people are crazy...

Feed that giant swimming lizard a raw chicken with a lit M80 in it.

...nothing less than a half stick for me...I'd be afraid an M80 might just blow a couple teeth out...

Unless you're a gator with the munchies and there are none. Cats make good Scooby Snacks™ for the critters.
