Minnesota deer hunter shoots 3-foot alligator: 'Only in 2020'
It was the prize – and surprise – of this hunter’s lifetime.
2020 has been a wild year, and the great outdoors are no exception. A Minnesota deer hunter got more than he bargained for when he crossed paths with an alligator and got the OK from officials to shoot. Now, the outdoorsman plans to mount the gator with the buck he harvested during the unforgettable outing.
Cory Klocek was out hunting in East Bethel on Saturday, the opening day of firearms deer season for the state, Fox 9 reports. Klocek was tracking a deer around a pond when he spotted a 3-foot gator, about 10 feet away. He contacted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and a game warden gave permission to shoot.
