Gets Set For Gator Hunting SeasonFrom the CBS 8 West Alabama Newsroom-- Nearly three hundred hunters have been selected to take part in the state's 2nd Annual Alligator Hunting Season next month. The hunters were randomly chosen from more than 20-thousand people who applied for tags to take part in the hunt. Fifty tags issued for West Alabama. Gator hunts will take place there along the Alabama River in parts of Dallas, Wilcox and Monroe counties on the weekends of August 16th and 23rd. "That's one thing about this two week hunt in August, it has added a new flavor in Wilcox County," said Big Daddy Lawler, WJDB 95.5 Radio Talk Show Host of "Gettin' Outdoors." "It's usually dead time in August, now we have two weekends where we attract people from all over the state that are lucky enough to get one of the 50 tags." he said. The state record gator was taken in Wilcox County during last year's gator hunt-- the mammoth gator was 14 feet 2 inches long and weighed a whopping 838 lbs. |
