Well, on the up side of this, I once talked to a guy who fishes from the same pier fairly often. He said that someone does hunt alligators there, on the Avery Island side, across the bayou from the pier. He'd seen them checking lines, shooting gators, and pulling them in the boat. Must be the McIlhennys hunting that piece, because I think they own all the property on Avery Island. Anyway, while most of the gators in that immediate area are small to medium size, it seems like an excellent place to fill some tags. They probably get much bigger ones on the south and east side of the island in the marsh, in the more remote spots.
