18-Year-Old Hunts Massive Gator

An 18-year-old hunts a 14-foot, 800-pound gator.
Do you think you can nab an alligator?
Recently, an 18-year-old underdog in the “living dinosaur” chasing world, Braxton Bielski landed the new Texas State Record Alligator.
It was the first time that the high school student had attempted to pursue a gator and evidently he’s got quite a knack for it. The massive reptile he bagged measured over 14 feet long and weighed more than 800 pounds.
The teenager along with his dad were just a few of the 481 applicants trying to land a permit from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for a five day long public hunt. Braxton’s father stated “This is the first year we’ve had to enter him as an adult and we got drawn.”
Earlier this year, another insanely giant reptile was hunted but for an entirely different reason. The 15 foot long saltwater crocodile was captured in a billabong near a river reserve in Australia after threatening the public.
The big monster required a backhoe in order to load it in the back of a truck.
