The American alligator is one of
nature's most resilient creatures. Having survived the age of the dinosaurs more than 200 million years ago, it was nearly brought to the brink of extinction from habitat loss and illegal
harvest for their valuable hides. Protection was granted for American alligators in 1967 and the remarkable recovery of the species was due to properly controlled and monitored conservation and sustainable use (eg. tourism, harvesting and hunting) programs. Today there are more than
2 million alligators living across the Southeast and, like the wild turkey and white-tailed deer, are a conservation success story.
This hunting season, like many in the past, will be filled with great memories of challenging game, exciting pursuits, heartbreaking misses, adrenaline pounding close calls, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. We have many generations of outdoorsmen and women to thank for our privileges to hunt and the right to bear arms. It would not be possible without our steadfast support of our hunting heritage and our membership in conservation organizations such as the NWTF. However, unlike past seasons, the
2008 hunting season also will have many new and exciting challenges as we set the stage for the future of conservation.
Get
