Florida hunters bag a 15-foot 800-pound massive alligator

Florida hunters managed to bag a 15-foot, 800-pound alligator. The hunters were the owner of Outwest Farms in Okeechobee, and a hunting guide - they came across the huge reptile in one their cattle ponds while on a guided hunt and believed that it used to feast on the farm's cattle. The discovery of cattle in the water confirmed that it had indeed been attacking the livestock as they came to drink.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 6 April 2016.

The hunters shot the gator as it surfaced about 20 feet in front of them and it was so big that they had to make use of a farm tractor to pull it out of the water. It is hard to believe that something of this size exists in the wild. Incidentally, Outwest Farms has been guiding hunts for alligators, wild boar, and turkey for 18 years and the owner admits that he has been hunting all his life.
The largest alligator they had taken before their latest hunt was just over 14 feet long.
The hinters plan to donate the gator's meat to charity and have the alligator taxidermied for future display at their hunting shows and expos.
