How do you think this turned out?

Hog fed the gator. I witnessed a white German Shepard in that situation once. The dog came to drink water and the gator was about two feet away from the bank. When the gator lunged, the dog jumped back and barely escaped. Hogs are not so nimble or quick to jump backwards.

When I was a kid I had a friend who’s grandpa had a gator and a hog farm . He also had chicken houses and he would feed the dead chickens to the gators . I seen big sows take the chickens from grown gators .

In the first photo I thought the hog was dead meat, but the hog has already started to whirl and bolt. A huge wall of water is slung toward the camera as the gator propels himself and lunges toward the hog. In the second photo the hog is 10' away running at full speed. In the third photo, the emptyhanded gator is wondering where the hog went.

That location is a popular trail crossing for many of our game animals. The gator is an unwelcomed guest.

That’s a cool sequence of pictures . Is that a hog trap behind the gator . If so I’m sure you could lure him in it ! ?

I accidently discovered how fast a hog can be many years ago in the dark. Never forget that or the smell afterwards. Thank goodness for spare drawers in the truck.

Man, that's cool. Looks like the gator needs a pair of corrective lenses or something from the picture looks like he missed by a few feet to the right, but that could be camera tricks.
Really cool series of pictures.

I thought the hog got away simply because he seemed to be moving fast why the gator was not. Perspective can be off due to camera angle etc.

Cool pics! Gator looks to be about 10', not one you want to run into unexpectedly.

'choot 'em!"

This is what I thought was going to happen ..

That probably wouldn`t be a good place to wade and fish.

That Gator will learn from that & not make that mistake again. Cool pics. Thanks for sharing?

 

[Big7]

Cool. That looks like a good spot for animals to water and congregate.

 

[Worlldbeater]

Great pics and video Thanks for sharing

 

[KKrueger]

I've been wrong before but it almost looks like something is in the gators mouth.

Gator trap or Hog tap?
