Does anyone eat those things? Just wondering. If they were around me I'd kill them to keep them from killing either me, family of friends.

That is awesome- I would be really interested in how you cut one of those up, I would have no idea of where to even start. Is there a lot of usable meat outside of the tail?

We usually get the Jaw and leg meat. We have cut a few up are selfs and taken to a processer a couple times. Found it better to just take are time and cut them up are self.

Thanks Andrew, interesting about the jaw- makes sense now that you say that. Do you keep the skin too I would assume?

Never have use to trade it out to the taxidermy for deer mounts. Only kept two skulls of the biggest gators we have caught
