I know that there was out there, and that pic is at lake maintenance facility, probably true.

I'm pretty sure that the loader being used wasn't just drove onto the lake roads and those buildings in the photo also look like the buildings near the damn on EML. I would say this was/is taken by an official from there. I have to agree....but still havnt heard any details!

Isn't it necessary to have a hunting license, gator permit, and actually be hunting season? I hope the game warden catches the guy if this story is true. I forget if I heard it on the radio or TV the other day but they said that TPWD just within the last week or so has opened up the hunting of nuisance gators in TX. Not sure when it was to go into effect.

It's gator season in non core counties. With a hunting license, gator kill report sent to txpw, and 27 bucks for the tag anyone can get one a year in non core counties. On public water you have to use set lines, like a drop line with bait suspended above the water and basically fish for them. On private water you can harvest them with a rifle. I'm trying to get another weekend off before the end of June when season ends to try to get one around Huntsville.

It is true the gator got loose from the wildlife refuge and was spotted at the one of the dams at EM it was 8-9 ft tall, the person that shot is likley to be fined for shooting it since it was protected under the wildlife refuge. that is the story i heard this weekend.

Well if they killed it just to say I killed a gator that is pathetic and sad. And a felony..... If the person who killed it did so without a permit, it is a Class C Misdemeanor, not a felony. The state (TPWD) would certainly seek fines and civil restitution. CR on a gator that size would probably be around $2,000.

Ya I knew there was a bunch below the spillway, and I've seen the one that floats around harbor one.....I was hoping he hadn't become a problem and they killed it. For some reason every time one is spotted below the dam, everyone claims that as Eagle Mountain. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more on the lake in my opinion...just adds to the thrill when your noodling! Lol

Ya I wasn't sure the charge, just meant it was illegal by any means....other than "self defense"
