One of the reasons we place the decoys nearby and shoot close in, is that we have no long retrieves and if a gator gets after a dog we are within shotgun range to stop it. After cool weather sets in the gator problem goes away and we set up a bit further out for big ducks. It's gator season now and if we have to kill one, I have the tags issued for the ranch so we can harvest it legally. Bill

And yes, I do worry about the dogs and alligator mix. We take most of the big gators early in the alligator season. I got an eleven and a half foot Bull gator last year and some ten footers so we deal with mostly five and six foot gators during the Teal season. Bill

Gators and Ducks oh my. I can't imagine having to chase a gator away from my retreiver. in the Upper Pennisula more than one Bear dog has fallen prey to Wolves. When I Grouse hunt there I always carry my 45ACP what with the Wolves and Bears. I can just imagine Daisy chaseing a cub up a tree and I'd have to deal with mama bear
