Alligators spotted in the channel

[RiverDave]

Damn there was actually a gator that the owner released in 93?

From what I have read it has happened a couple of times on the river / lakes

 

[white tortilla]

Insider word is the tracked this things origin to @H20 Toie cigarette boat . Came back after last trip from Florida tucked up under the swim step.

California just sent me a notice I need to pay an additional $25 for my alligator sticker with my Bi-Annual muscle sticker

You have to pay extra for muscles in California now?

 

[4Waters]

No, we pay for a sticker that we display next to our reg sticker that keeps the quagga muscle away from our boat. Same concept as the "This is a gun free zone" sign

YEP.

I’d like to see the local AB distributor give free beer for a year to whoever catches it and brings it alive to them..

We r gonna change this bud light franchise around..

Sounds like you are trying to protect the gator with that deal.

What the hell is AB going to do with a live gator?
Besides turn it gay?

Would rather see you and Dan go out and man handle the beast, bring it home and put it on a spit.
Epic RDP BBQ party, Cajun style!!

I can see it now.
Dave and Dan in the boat chasing the gator, Dave yelling at it “I’m going to BBQ your ass in molasses! “


I can see the headlines in the Havasu paper..

Gimpy Dave and Drinky Dan save Havasu from Alligator invasion!

Dave catches gator, becomes a Havasu hero and is easily elected Mayor of LHC.

Loose good foot in the process.

[stephenkatsea]

Curious about the previously mentioned ‘on shore evidence’. Tracks in the sand? Assume those of a gator would differ from a beaver?

maybe dave can do a collab with stalecracker from youtube........that's money, dude!

I had heard of the infamous BEAVERS of Havasu , I think there was a deleted Thread here a while back

 

[Tamalewagon]

most alligators swim with their legs back against their bodies, not in front of them. Look at the picture of the rear legs. Gators don't swim like that. They use their tails for propulsion. They use a different prop (before anyone else tries to get to it first).

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

Guess we'll just have to see if local markets sell out of chicken this weekend!

 

[Yldboyz]

Let's talk more about how it got here. What do you all think?

Theory #1 - Someone (legally or illegally, don't know the laws here) got a baby gator and raised it until it was 4' long and then decided this is a pain in the ass and headed out to Havasu for Memorial Day and dropped it in the channel on their way out washing their hands of the problem

Theory #2 - Gators have been hiding in the waters and continue to reproduce and aside from a few potential sightings, we are now seeing are new water friends make their debut

Theory #3 - RD planted this thing in the channel to drive traffic to RDP by slipping an insider photo (kidding of course, RD brings us the real scoop as he can)

Theory #4 - The Karens of Havasu paid someone to drop it in the channel so they can enjoy the channel to themselves without all the big booty hoes clapping their cheeks to that nasty boom boom music

....... Feel free to add your own theory below .......

Global warming.

Curious about the previously mentioned ‘on shore evidence’. Tracks in the sand? Assume those of a gator would differ from a beaver?

Depending of course on the nature of the surface, Beavers can leave a noticeable and variable appearing trail from dragging their tails. Gators can and do often leave a trail from dragging their tail --- is this it ? I haven't a clue what anybody's seen.

I have seen and followed numerous beavers at Havasu. Many years ago before the Feds shut down jet ski riding in the wetlands just off the main river north, we used to follow the beaver trails through the reeds, like single tracking a motorcycle.
These narrow and shallow trails or paths have been cleared by beavers and they use them to travel between the various deeper ponds hidden back in the reeds.
When you come up behind a beaver traversing one, he's restrained to the confines of that trail, so I'd just sit back and slowly follow them, once they hit the deep pool they'd whack their tails in a display of seriously being annoyed and disappear.
There used to be a couple of beaver huts in the back of two bays on the California side, they eventually fell into despair, I suspect abandoned.
There used to be huge beaver den up at Lake Arrowhead across from the Totem Pole bay, they also lived up under the docks on top of the floats --- then the homes came, nut-to-butt around the shoreline, not sure if there's anymore up there or not. That bay at night was active with Beavers.

Yep a gator shirt should be in the next run.

That's what Wally has been trying to tell ya'll!

I'm still waiting for Frank Hobart to come and tell Dave and all of us all that he took this picture.

 

[Groper]

Daaauuuummmm #489 posts and no mention of how to cook the moofer when it's caught.

I prefer fried Gator; it is somewhat chewy but good and tastes like chicken.

I'd like to smoke that Bacon wrapped little fella on my YODER

If it "likely" a beaver then there is no reason not to show the video

A little salty,
but for the record:
it doesn’t taste like beaver.

Yes but then that'd actually be news. We know the news is only PR and propaganda these days

The only problem is the so called wildlife officials didnt leave their desk or see anything in person before making that statement.

I guess since it was in the channel I could have told the media it was most likely a DCB.

That would be hilarious in the channel this weekend! I'm sure someone would get butt hurt though and want to start a fight.
