Daphne man’s dream comes true by capturing massive alligator
After years of being on the federal list of endangered species, the alligator population in Alabama has grown to the point that the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources now allows a limited hunting season. In southwest Alabama, 150 applicants are randomly drawn by a computer to receive an Alligator Possession Tag.
Lee Wright of Daphne had been trying for a long time to win the right to go hunting in the swamps. According to a recent story about his adventure (tinyurl.com/j9hfwdz), he could not believe the news when he got a letter from the DCNR.
