Did You Know?

Recently our Pipo(the tough Marine don't you know?) was working with Jimmy Douglas of Sumterville in the trapping of 'nuisance alligators'....
Jimmy is a local legend and is known as 'the Exterminator'...
He is a licensed Florida State Nuisance Alligator Trapper...
He was called to collect a gator recently and someone made a video and put it on YouTube....
We salute you Jimmy, in a job that someone has to do....and you do very well...
You can see 'the exterminator' at work in this video below:

If you need to report a nuisance alligator,call 1-866-FWC-GATOR (1-866-392-4286).

The Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program is administered by the Division of Hunting and Game Management through contracts between the Commission and nuisance alligator trappers. Approximately 40 private trappers are contracted to remove specific nuisance alligators. Individuals may call the toll-free number to submit complaints regarding nuisance alligators. The Commission will evaluate the complaint and determine if the alligator should be removed by a licensed nuisance alligator trapper. This program permits the harvest of alligators that are determined to be a threat to the welfare of the public, or the public’s pets, livestock, or property.
