Having hunted them, I agree with the hunter there: a bang stick is more effective and safer than a handgun. The one I used was a .44. I know another guy that uses .38 wad cutters in his.

Doesn’t LA allow the use of firearms for alligator hunting?

Yes, Louisiana does. It’s laws are aimed more at poaching, it needs to be your land or land you have permission to be on, and you have to have a special permit. The way they like to do it there, though, is with a baited hook. It has to be an plain iron hook because gators can digest those in case they do break away. Not stainless or brass, that’s a slow death for the animal.

You shoot them in the boat after you gaff them? Who thinks that’s a great idea?
