I've seen hundreds of gators on Fork while night fishing. I knew there were some in Twok, but I've never seen one. I have seen what look like gator slides up in some of the creeks though. I went to SFA and used to fish a lot of East Texas lakes with gators. They don't bother me at all. I'm a million times more scared of a snake than I am a gator.

None of those gators will survive human invasion of their habitats. North, South, East, West, every where they go they will run into some sort of human residential areas or "recreational" areas where small children,....even their pets are considered "endangered" by gators... gators have no where to go... gators will be captured, shot or starved to death... none of them will survive as humans continue to invade their habitats. I don't take sides, but just state the fact...gators have more to fear from humans, then the other way around.
