Alligator hunter

From the Sunshine State, comes this hunting story:
Florida's public alligator hunt is underway, and the nighttime pursuit of trophy-sized specimens in the muggy marshlands is challenging and often unproductive.

But Arianne Prevost of Satellite Beach was in the right place at the right time, and with the right people on Tuesday night during her first-ever gator hunt, as she used a crossbow to bag an 11-footer weighing perhaps 450 pounds. ...

Ms. Prevost photographs well, doesn't she? Can't say the same for the alligator (although that's one big reptile). As an aside, alligator meat, properly prepared, is pretty tasty.
