When out in the WMA’s we pick an area and walk the dikes or trails there.
It’s not uncommon to have an Alligator swim over and around just to see what we are doing. Curious critters in general and neither of us can get too close for comfort with the other.

One marsh in particular is home to the ‘big guys’. Makes sense really. Why would smaller gators hang here.

The marsh is miles long with plenty of crabs and fish. It’s probably as good as it gets if you’re an Alligator.
