A seasoned raccoon for bait and a 580-pound alligator
LIVINGSTON -- Livingston Mayor Judy B. Cochran bagged
a 12-foot alligator—the same creature, she believes, that ate her miniature
horse a few years ago. “Typically the gators don’t bother us, but we’ve been
looking for [this one],” Cochran told the Houston
Chronicle. Cochran, who recently became a great-grandmother, used a seasoned
raccoon to attract the 580-pound animal to her pond, where she shot it. She
plans to mount its tail in her office and make several pairs of boots from its
hide. – Texas Monthly

distinctly Texan – a great-grandmother who knows how long to season a raccoon,
as well as where to properly place a bullet to ensure quick death to the
targeted animal.
Watch out for those Texas grannies. They can spit fire when they need to.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right. My more direct and blunt Texas grandmother would tell anybody in a heartbeat, "The hell I can't."
