But what if you just birdie the last 4 holes with that ball??? You wouldn't go after it?

[@jackc70]

You go into gator territory for a golf ball that you get 8 cents for? Some people would call that stupid. I’m one of those people.

[@Shr3dMyAss]

I agree...he mUst be so desperate to earn 8 cents in return for a burger 👏👏👏

Gators are usually pretty docile ,crocodiles are far more aggressive.

[@tawandatracee8327]

When Ike (1st story) said he didn't think that the Trapper had for sure killed the right Croc - the one who had attacked him, well, shouldn't they have been able to confirm that by looking at the eye Ike said he felt he had poked it in so far as to prob reach the beasts brain. They should have been able to confirm with that fact to be CERTAIN.

[@kingakim11]

[@michaelcampin1464]

I've seen some of these on a different channel but they are still interesting

[@johnramirez5996]

You also have to watch out for peace river, arcadia, Florida. Only during and after rainy season. When it's down. You're fine. I was chased after by minimum 10ft gator. From it's nose to the eyes was minimum about 14 inches. I got lucky. I made it to the edge before he got close enough. But in my head I don't know why. It like watching a movie. I saw the discovery channel episode where croc grabs the wilder beast and pulls it into the water where it disappeared. We were at the rope swing to those that read these and have been there. You know where I was at.

[@safeinmyheart1]

Back in 1992, I went to a friend's house in Santa Cruz cal. And he invited me to go fishing in the ocean ( I've never been in the ocean or fishing in my life so I said maybe something new ) he had an inflatable boat big enough for 4 or 5 people he always used it to go in the water, I don't know how far we were from shore but I could tell we were 2 hundreds yards or a little more when the air started to come out and he just told me we're going to have to swim back, I remember seeing the shore very far and I was very very exhausted I I just couldn't swing anymore so I rolled up and I was looking at the sky and asked God Jesus please help me and in about 2 seconds I felt completely energize and was going faster and faster and I made it back by then my friend was already there, that was the last time I went on the ocean.
