It's gator season in Alabama

On the first night of Alabama's first alligator hunting season, the Mobile Register reports that 3 of 13 gators were taken by female hunters. The lady who brought in the first gator of the night had this to say:
"We're going to skin him and tan the hide and find somebody that will make some boots...We'll keep the meat and cook it, but I'll leave that up to my husband. He cooks all the wild game."
