It could have gone into the one about livestock on the road or Darwin Awards (still might make and entry in that one).
Last night, tonight, and tomorrow night are alligator hunting season. Beer, water, boats, and alligators, all at night... what could go wrong?
They do cut down the odd against survival by making people buy a lottery style ticket to win a license to kill one (1, unos, ein, etc.) alligator per season, and limit the number of licenses.
The main difference, as I perceive it, from any other time someone wants to hunt a gator is that the can brag about these and get some kind of award for the biggest one.
