10-year-old Texas girl kills 13-foot, 800-pound alligator with crossbow

[TexasTowelie]

A 10-year-old Texas girl shot and killed an 800-pound alligator Sunday with crossbow from about 15 yards on the Guadalupe River in South Texas.

Ella Hawk, who killed the 13-foot reptile with her first shot, told the Victoria Advocate she wasn’t nervous.

"They said it was really big," she told the newspaper. "I was so excited."

Ella and her parents embarked on the likely record-breaking hunt with guide Ryan Longer a few miles south of Victoria near U.S. 77 and the Guadalupe River, about 45 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico.
