That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth!
This alligator was found between Athens and Palestine , Texas near a house. How would you like to meet this fella in the dark? Never let it be said that we don't grow them big in Texas .
Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator- guess he wouldn't cooperate...

Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations. "I didn't believe it," Charles Rogers said. Friday they realized the stories were, if anything, understated. Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast.
Joe Goff, 6'5" tall, a game warden with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, walks past the 23'1" alligator that he shot and killed in the Rogers back yard.
*is this true?*
