This one was crafty. After three years it had become large ... about 8
feet and the Florida Fish and Wildlife department set traps to catch it.
The traps were hooks hanging on lines from low branches on which a
rotting chicken carcass was placed. I watched several times as the
alligator approached the chicken, stopped about 10 feet away from it and
just laid there in the water eyeing it. Then, after about 15-20 minutes
it would submerge and I thought for sure it was closing in for an
attack. Instead, it would just swim away, ignoring it. This went on
for a month or so. The chicken was replaced every few days.

They finally got it however but not by using a trap.

They still have not been able to catch the one that bit the guy at my
wife's place but they are not really trying that hard. If they sent an
old redneck in there at night he would be gone.

Better load him up with hooch first, just to be sure.
