Well the first session of the Southwest Alabama alligator hunt which started at 8:00pm August 15 and ended at 6:00am August 18 is now in the history books. The hunt started out with fair weather and looked to be real promising, but that soon changed. The majority of the hunt ended up in unpleasant rain which limited the gators movements and no use of bait is allowed by Alabama regulations to entice them to activity. I do not participate in the hunt myself, but I do have two friends with one tag each (which is all you are allowed out of the 150 issued for the delta). I was depending on them for my alligator meat this this year, but with the weather so bad, they did not even go out to try to get one during this first session. I have not given up hope on them yet because there is a second part to the season which starts at 8
m August 22 and ends at 6:am August 25. So there still is a chance that I will end up with some fresh alligator meat this year.
