Gator Hunting in South Carolina

For the 1st time, South Carolina has opened the season on alligators. About 1500 people applied for the 1000 spots that were drawn for permits to kill 1 gator at least 4 ft long. 700 people have paid the $100 cost for the permit. The gator 1st has to be roped or snagged with a hook and the brought to the boat and shot with a pistol or bangstick to kill it. It sounds like an adventure by all reports--something I might've jumped right into in my younger days. Lord knows gators are very abundant in our state.
