larryshoresHe is still around but no longer consistently staying in the same place. I saw him on camera last week. I set a line 3 consecutive nights and he never hit it.

LHeym500Can you hunt him from the banks, or by stacking a bait with a rifle like one would a croc in Africa?

Yup. The problem with that approach is buzzards . They hammer the bait in short order.

sharpsguyLarry--Tie the bait to a pole something in shallow water next to the bank. Hay wire works well. Buzzards won't light in six inches of water, but the gator will come to the bait.

Already tried that .
Right now, I think the problem is mating season. He is on the move but probably not far away.
