A fun weekend for boys catching gators

Article Image Alt Text

Alligator season is on in Louisiana and if you have tags, you can catch them. Such was the case this past weekend for five youngsters and a handful of adults as the gators put on a show for these kids who likely had never had the thrill of catching, dispatching, skinning and fleshing out seven alligators. The event took place in northeast Louisiana on property owned by Wesley McConnell who was joined on the outing by adults, Mark Johnson, Milt May and George Seacrist.
