Only In Texas

[eyelids]

I got a forwarded email with this...

This picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Conroe!
That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth!
Are you ready to go skiing on Lake Conroe?! If you ski at the west end of the lake -- try not to fall.

This alligator was found between Athens and Palestine, Texas near a house. Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator- guess he wo uldn't cooperate... Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night. 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 Texa s Parks and Wildlife Department, walks past a 23-foot, 1-inch alligator that he shot and killed in their back yard.

Those are some huge gators! What a shame, the 23 footer being killed.

I put this here instead of 'In The News' because I don't know if it was in the news and I have no source...

Although the pictures are genuine......

The gator in question was in South Georgia. That forward has been round the web about 100 times.

Thanks for that info... I can't believe the lengths people go to prove whether photos like these are real...

Thats on big Gator! Too bad they had to shoot it, some reason, I think there could have been a better way that to kill it. Did they try calling Steve Irwin.......LOL

Why did they have to kill it? Did i miss that part? That's so sad Such a beautiful animal...

If i'm not mistaken i've seen that pic somewhere before. I think it was a fake. At least its length was overexaggerated or something. I can't remember...

If you want a true monster try to find National Geographics documentary one Gustave the killer croc from Uganda. I think the film was called "In search of the Killer Croc" Now HE was 23 feet or much better. And he was no HOAX.

If that is true,then that gator either needs to be in The World Record Book or runenr up!!
