So I live in an area with a lot of alligators and I go camping on the empty huge swamp islands but it's full of alligators, so to get rid of them me and some buds are building a 7 foot long 5 foot tall giant middle minnow trap for alligators that would be halfway submerged in the water just enough that alligators could get in to get the bait but not enough to get out, I'd figure it'd catch some of them atleast or maybe the alligators would see their friend and realize not to fuck with the island, pic is a snake minnow trap, imagine much bigger with much larger holes
I forgot the question, do y'all think it'll work?
How would you secure it in place properly?

Have fun explaining that to the game wardens.

you are underestimating both the cost and illegality of caging wild animals and overestimating the intelligence of reptiles. a caged gator will attract, not repel, other gators
Put a niglet in the trap. Trap a gator. Kill gator and sell to niggers. Repeat

The thrashing of the trapped gator would just attract more and eventually a big one will try to get in on the action.

Sounds like an exciting way to get fish and wildlife officers to fuck you

And what are you going to do with that gator once you trap it?

So we put more traps out there and we get more, ingenious

For some reason In the swamps where I live they don't seem to care at all, everyone does it illegally and in most places it's too far out for them to even hear a gunshot
Squeal the gators up with a varmint call, and shoot them with a deer rifle
That's how I figure I'd hunt gators

Deer rifle's overkill. Even big gators die fast to a .22mag or a .17hmr with either the 20gr XTP or 20gr FMJ.
way to go triggering out...
>mfw .243 because you like the way it makes a big splash
