Mississippi Gator Hunt Opens with 12-Foot Catch | Jackson News

Mississippi’s alligator hunting season just dropped jaws with a 12-foot, 4-inch beast pulled from the river on opening night—thanks to Jonathan Wimberley’s crew. With only ten days to hunt, this is prime time for tackling the state’s biggest reptiles. Don’t even think about jumping in those waters—those gators are no joke. Strict rules from the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks govern where and how hunters can go after them, balancing conservation with sport. While Wimberley’s team celebrates their haul, everyone else should be grateful they’re staying dry. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
