Bill - Are you trying to scare away all the potential transplants with this story about an alligator?

11 foot isn't huge. That's a normal adult.

Google may say 11 feet is normal for an alligator but my two eyes and three decades on water up and down coastal NC and countless gator encounters tell me it's huge.

Maybe in your neck of the woods up but in East Lake an 11 footer is average.

I'm with Bill on this one.

I know it's average but if you're walking on the beach and there it is - that's HUGE :-D

My favorite NC gator picture is this one walking across the road in Brunswick county:

But this gator (dead) in Lake Moultrie SC was really huge!

Does anyone know where the alligator was found on the beach? The address it was by? Wonder how close it is to the house we stay at.
