"A gator climbs on this woman's property and she defends her dogs...and she gets a citation for "hunting without a license." Un-freepin-believable."

I've not always followed this advice but in Louisiana we were taught to call Wildlife and Fisheries regarding any alligator incursions and do nothing to the animal or face possible fines.

It's that way in Florida too.

'Call 911 and die while waiting for help to come' approach.

The three S's apply here.

Shoot, Shovel and Shutup.

I don't know...my son suggested that an alligator on our property would be a definite reason for invoking the "shoot, shovel and shut up" clause. Of course, we don't have too much to worry about being a good distance from any sizable body of water. It would be pretty shocking to find a gator in our yard.
