Having Fun With Alligators

Dude, your first post 2 hours after I posted answered it plain and simple, then 3.5 hours later you come back with something else. What are trying to do? Make yourself believe something. Get over it

What are you talking about? From the beginning you suggested I was antagonizing and feeding them, and it's against the law. I said we weren't feeding them, we were crabbing and they were pulling our bait lines. We just had fun with it. Then earlier tonight, you AGAIN suggested I was feeding the gators, when you said I can feed the gators all I want, because there's no statewide law against it, but I'd be the one to blame if someone got attacked. Now you're telling me I said something different and suggested I'm trying to make myself believe something. Like what? I have to make myself believe I really didn't feed them? When did I ever say anything else other than we were NOT feeding alligators? Oh I mentioned this happens all over where people go crabbing, and that someone's hunting gators in that area, but my story hasn't changed. Either I'm not understanding you, or you're not understanding me. But I have no Idea what you're talking about.

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
