Paraplegic Hunter Bags 12.5-Foot Gator


ASTOR, Fla. -- Two paralyzed hunters from Georgia have stalked game in Wyoming, Alaska and Africa. Now, they are taking their wheelchairs onto the St. Johns River in north Florida to hunt alligators.

Tim Stanfield, of Valdosta, Ga., bagged a 12½-foot gator on Thursday with the help of two trappers who brought the reptile close enough to their boat for Stanfield to strike it on the head with a bang stick, which had a bullet in its tip.

"It was a challenge. I had to hit him three times before the bullet went off. My legs were shaking," said Stanfield, 51.

Stanfield's legs weren't the only thing shaking, said trapper Curtis Lucas, who helped organize the hunt about 30 miles west of Daytona Beach.

1. Equal rights to be an animal-shootin' yeehaw
I guess it counts for something, but eh, I'd rather see more accessible housing and buildings.
