This picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter
flying over Lake Wiess about 90 miles north of Birmingham , Alabama ! The helicopter pilot and the game warden were in communication via radio's 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' 'Holy 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, were gonna need more men, Over' 'Roger Air1..can you give me a idea on size of animal, over' 'Its big 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 11feet! Are you ready to go skiing on Lake Wiess ?! If you ski at the west end of the lake -- try not to fall. 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 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 they realized the stories were, if anything, understated. Alabama Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast. Joe Goff, 6'5' tall, a game warden, walks past the 28-foot, 1-inch alligator he shot and killed in their back yard.

The gator I believe but an 11 foot deer, now thats scary!!
That's an old story by the way, 2004 and snopes says it's true but the location is incorrect. http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/gatordeer.asp - gator ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Must have been a heck of a pursuit in the Nautique...  ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

Modest Tim didn't tell the whole story in that we actually spotted half dozen of these gators. We were having fun and sort of using them as a slalom course and as Tim made a perfect cut with his elbow dragging, one beast saw this as what he thought was the perfect opportunity, but Tim caught him in the head with the ski skeg and killed him instantly. We dragged him up on the gator deck/aka trim tab, and brought him on in. My tailer's working on my alligator barefoot suit right now, and I think Tim's getting some really neat new upholstery for his '66. -Crocodile reidp EDIT: "That's naught a bote.
