St. Martin Parish has a law against feeding alligators. This was instituted specifically for Lake Martin, people often feed them there. I believe this is the only parish it would actually be illegal.
SwampCritter, I have had the same thing happen to me at Rockefeller on numerous occasions. Pull up the line and a gator is on it, and so have a thousand other people, unintentionally. Its not that big a deal to me. Gators in that area already associate humans with food, not because people go out there to feed them, but because there is usually a very enticing piece of bait tied to a string IN the water. (For the record I do not want to be an alligator, but let's pretend you were an alligator
), you lay on the bank all day soaking up the sun, may go for a swim, may go try and catch something for lunch, OR you can wait until somebody puts chicken in the water. Seems a no-brainer to me
