How is this possible?

growing up in central Arkansas, gators never even entered our minds...

fishing Lake Conway for bream and perch, same thing


please make fun of me - I don't care - this blows my mind

I realize we now have alligator hunting season - I think I'd like to go

Saw that earlier. I’ve got doubts, nothing to show it’s actually in Conway. Lake Conway is currently drained

Gators don’t die, they multiply.

I get it. I'd love to eat some of them over a grille with some Cavender's Greek Seasoning

but we never thought we had to worry about them. Camping in north Arkansas, trapping, and camping in El Dorado and etc, Im worried for all the younger members of my family, babies, and in central Alabama

Yes that gator in your video is in lake Conway 3 years ago when it had water in it

It is now drained and doesn’t look like what’s in the video of the op.

Main lake is drained. But still water at Gold Creek, Palarm Creek, Stone Dam Creek and all the other feeders. That recent video is legit. I just posted 3 yr ago to say nobody in Conway is suprised, we all know there's gators in there

Fwiw I’ve done quite a bit of work around lake Conway lately & in the past. Did a bunch of the work in mayflower for the Ashley’s on the new Clayton homes location. Pretty familiar with it.

The gator in the op video could be from lake Conway, but I’d imagine it would be all over the news like it was 3 years ago if it was there.
