Download or read book The Most Outrageous Alligator Poachers written by Barbara Tyner Hall and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is going to take you deep into the heart of the Everglades before it became a national park. This journey will give you a great insight into how the laws of the land changed and how it affected the people of the area. This story is plunging deep into the swamplands whose people learned to live off the land as a way to survive in this harsh terrain. Many are commercial fishermen and stone crabbers, and as the I was from the area, it took me a year or so before I learned that they were ex-moonshiners, and their fathers were plume hunters. The best guides in the area are, in fact, the best alligator poachers and hunters known to this area, and the best of all is known to be the men depicted in this story. Behind all the complicated waterways, there is a root system like no other just like a brain of a computer, and behind that is a maze of rivers that are some of the most complicated known to man. People have lost their lives trying to maneuver through the shallow waterways. The new park rangers that were now assigned to this area had to appeal to the local fisherman to show them how to get out if Chokoloskee Bay and a few other waterways so they could patrol the area and return safely that evening to their families. Most of the families and early settlers were related to each other and would clan up like the Indians and did not like outsiders. When the information that was provided to the first park rangers were not at all accurate, the locals, as well as Peg Brown and his friends, enjoyed toying with the rangers as much as possible. They would lay out some routes for the park rangers to follow, and let’s just say there were always some significant points missing. With that the temperament of the poachers grew more mischievous than ever, which led the authorities on highly action-packed chases and exciting adventures and escapades throughout the dangerous maze of the Ten Thousand Islands. Everglades natives believe that the animals in the national park belong to them, and they should be allowed to use animals as they saw fit, much of the same way a developing nation controls its oil. The local people were not all that upset about the widespread killings of the alligators. Most alligators were a nuisances, but they believed in the hidden supply theory, which was said that an unlimited supply of alligators would always emerge from the swamps to replace the ones that were poached and made into shoes, belts, and purses for some of the wealthiest people who could afford to buy them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people today can claim a living memory of Florida's frontier Everglades. Glen Simmons, who has hunted alligators, camped on hammock-covered islands, and poled his skiff through the mangrove swamps of the glades since the 1920s, is one who can. Together with Laura Ogden, he tells the story of backcountry life in the southern Everglades from his youth until the establishment of the Everglades National Park in 1947. During the economic bust of the late ‘20s, when many natives turned to the land to survive, Simmons began accompanying older local men into Everglades backcountry, the inhospitable prairie of soft muck and mosquitoes, of outlaws and moonshiners, that rings the southern part of the state. As Simmons recalls life in this community with humor and nostalgia, he also documents the forgotten lifestyles of south Florida gladesmen. By necessity, they understood the natural features of the Everglades ecosystem. They observed the seasonal fluctuations of wildlife, fire, and water levels. Their knowledge of the mostly unmapped labyrinth of grassy water enabled them to serve as guides for visiting naturalists and scientists. Simmons reconstructs this world, providing not only fascinating stories of individual personalities, places, and events, but an account that is accurate, both scientifically and historically, of one of the least known and longest surviving portions of the American frontier.

Download or read book Alligators of Texas written by Louise Hayes and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Found only in the United States, the American alligator ranges in Texas through 120 counties, from the Sabine River to the Rio Grande, across a swath of river drainages and coastal marshes that include both the backwater swamps of the Big Thicket and the urban bayous of greater Houston. From its beginning in a pile of eggs buried in a meticulously constructed nest to its possible end as an alligator burger or a pair of boots, an alligator’s habitat preferences sometimes coincide with the favorite haunts of boaters, hunters, and coastal residents. In Alligators of Texas, biologist Louise Hayes and photographer Philippe Henry bring readers up close to this cryptic reptile’s food choices, parenting skills, communication techniques, and responses to natural events such as freezes and hurricanes. They also relate some Texas “alligator tales”; discuss alligator farming, hunting, and live capturing; and examine how people can successfully co-exist with this predator. They end by telling readers where they can view alligators, both in the wild and in captivity. Although not as often, as easily, or perhaps as happily observed as white-tailed deer or armadillos, the American alligator is an iconic Texas animal, and knowing more about its life and habits can help Texans better understand its rightful place in the landscape.

Download or read book Analysis of Drivers of Spring Alligator Hunting in Texas and Policy Implications written by Elizabeth N. Pratt and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human-wildlife conflict, and more specifically human-carnivore conflict is a matter of particular salience among wildlife decision-makers. As conflict between large carnivores and humans increase with habitat destruction and urbanization, managers are faced with finding a balance between carnivore conservation and human appeasement. Large carnivore hunters are often the hardest group to bring on board new management decisions, as they have the most to lose. Understanding their views, hunting motivations, and acceptability of management actions can provide agencies and managers with the necessary tools to make wildlife policy changes a more seamless process. However, hunter acceptability is often overlooked in the decision-making process. To address this gap, we applied the principle-policy paradox (PPP) and potential for conflict index (PCI2) to a case study on American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) hunters in non-core counties in Texas. We surveyed 318 spring alligator hunters who had legally taken an alligator within the last five years and asked them to evaluate and indicate the level of acceptability of proposed management actions regarding the spring alligator hunting season. Results indicate that spring alligator hunters strongly oppose the removal of the spring hunting season and alternative management action show a lack of consensus among hunters. These results demonstrate that hunters exhibit a paradox between concern for alligator populations and sustainability, and policy acceptance to help achieve these conservation goals. Hunters obviously want healthy alligator populations so as to be able to continue hunting, but at the same time they may not be in favor of policies that curtail or limit hunting. We conclude that policy managers, specifically Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) should seize this opportunity to work with hunter cognitions of alligators to introduce a policy that has positive impacts on both alligators and future alligator hunters. Future research should further explore human, ecological, climatic, and urbanizing factors and their impact on alligator dynamics as human populations continue to increase in coastal areas inhabited by alligators. Since alligators are one of the few large carnivores that can thrive in a semi-urban and suburban landscape, contemporary management of alligators no longer fits the bill.
