Spring in Louisiana
I took this from my backyard today. The flowers are blooming and the gator is sunning. It must be Spring!

In this part of Louisiana, we got heavy rains. I have a ditch about 150 feet behind my house that is out of the banks. Even the armadillos are looking for rafts.

Is he in season? Do you need a hunting license?

He is not in season. He is in a residential neighborhood and is considered a nuisance animal in that context. The Parish has an alligator control officer responsible for removing these animals. He freezer is very full.
There is a one month period when alligators can be taken in Louisiana. Trappers are allocated tags that are used to control the harvest. The History Channel show "Swamp People" documents some of the trappers that mostly hunt by boat. Some trappers put out baits along canals and harvest the gators from the bank or use a pirogue to cross a canal to get the gator. I have helped someone that had a lease harvest gators during the season using this method. He is currently the alligator control officer mentioned above.
In the past he had an alligator farm. He would harvest the eggs from nests and hatch them and release half of them back into the wild when they were old enough to survive. The rest would be used for meat and hide. More alligators survive this way than would survive if left in the wild

I'd be setting up claymores. The only dangerous thing I want roaming my back yard is my wife.

Jr. and I were down at L.J.'s last week. It's a mostly peaceful neighborhood that is separated from another hood by a large fence. The pic doesn't show it but just behind that gator flower hill is a huge bridge crossing the Mississippi River not far from the New Orleans Airport. The farther you go towards New Orleans from Joe's house, the more interesting it gets. The ground is all flat there and it makes it easier to ride the bike I borrow from him. The subdivision is very nice. His daughter/my niece is a contractor and has built a lot of the houses there. A few of the Saints players live there and some movie with some famous people was recently filmed there. He told me who they were while imbibing so I forgot. Joe also has a nice pic of a bald eagle snagging a nutria from the same lake. I'm sure he'll show it to you if someone asks. Not far from his house is the Old River Rd. There are some very beautiful plantation homes there that they will actually let you in to see. For that matter, his house sits where a former sugar cane plantation once was.
