What if...

if you survive the wreck after running over one, i think you should keep it and do as you wish.

 

Tastes like chicken.

 

Yeah I think if you hit one you're gonna have much bigger things to worry about than profiting from it.

The ensuing damage to your truck and all the authorities that will be onsite will take care of the gator or what's left of it. You won't get the chance to grab it.

Most of those areas where they are prone to roaming have fencing along the roadway and bars across the drainage culverts to keep them from getting into the roadway anyway......although there were a bunch a baby gators in the right lane of 75 south a couple weeks ago when I was down there around the dade city exit

 

yeah, like he only ran over the baby, and mama is ah comin'.......

 

Like FM said, you ever hit one, by the time you're done collecting the parts that broke off your rig, there wouldn't be much left of the carcass, other than a little meat for some gator nuggets.

PM me if you ever need a recipe....


(and no, legally you need to report it to Fish and Wildlife.)

 

That AIN'T no old wives tale either....When I was younger, a buddy and I were spending a week out in the Everglades hunting; we took a break to do some canoeing and fishing in a nearby canal. We were paddling along when it started getting really shallow; next thing I know I look down in the water and there's 10-15 little babies (about 8-10" long) all scattering away from us.. We looked at each other and were already starting to dig deep with our paddles when the sawgrass and lilly pads on the nearby bank erupted with about a 12' mama gator heading right towards us!

Quite a sight to see a paddle-driven canoe get up on plane. We must've been doing 25-30 knots....
