image.jpeg image.jpeg I lived on the north shore of Western lake for 18 years.

We saw alligators all through the year but. mostly during mating season.

Unless they are being a nusence, no agency will do anything. Once the county receives enough complaints, the county will contract with an "alligator trapper" who will put out heavy lines with large hooks baited with a whole chicken tied to tree trunks.

Because I lived there full time and had a boat, I was asked several times to periodically check the lines and call if there was an activity on a line.

When asked what they did with the animals once caught, it was made clear that they got to keep them as compensation.

Attached is the result of one of those traps in Western Lake.
