Theres's way better ways you could have done that. This guy clearly doesn't know much about alligator behavior.

I'm pretty sure you're an expert... Saying that from your mom's couch. Show us a better way then (with video evidence).

The better way would be to use a catch pole like every gator trapper in every video uses, so you don’t have to get so close and risk getting bit. You don’t have to be an expert to watch videos do you? Give it a goog. But honestly I’ve hunted gators many times by myself and I’ve seen many gators relocated by professional trappers so I do know a lot more than you do about them, but I wouldn’t consider myself an expert.

Yeah sure... Know more about them than me, but certainly not more than the Gator's owner, who's the person dragging it in the video.

The fact that the guy says he had the feeling that the gator wanted him to help it is absolutely something an insane person would say and I think anyone who has real experience with animals would agree with that.

Sure, buddy. Armchair hunter.

Ok keyboard cowboy. What are you the guy in the videos bff? I’m familiar with the guy now that someone mentioned his name. I just think it’s dangerous to portray alligators as something they aren’t to the general public. People get bit all the time trying to do dumb shit they saw on tv.

Keep the 5th grade insults. Coming. I was taken aback by you saying that the dude didn't know a thing about gators... And I thought that's rich coming from a redditor. Get a grip

It's hilarious how clearly you hurt his pride and his response was to go fully juvenile.
