My son’s getting older and I want him to reach out into the world as far as he can; with me by his side of course.  So before his baseball tryouts we were able to spend some quality time researching curriculum for the academy in Florida with  the guys from Apex Outdoor Adventures.  We spent the day being apprentice nuisance alligator trappers.  Not only did we learn a lot , we laughed a lot!  This trip would be a perfect reward for an older Academy student.  It’s tryouts for baseball season and I am thankful for the time and learning we shared.

Before you watch the video:

“In some areas, alligator conservation has become so successful, the animals are now becoming a danger to pets and people.  They cannot be captured and released because they then become a nuisance somewhere else. The most effective means to control them is by hunting.  In fact, the animals then can become an economic benefit to communities and local conservation efforts through licensing, and other fees. Hunting = safe people, safe pets.” John Annoni
