For my 30th birthday I want to wrestle an alligator or croc. Does anyone know a place in Southern California where I can get trained, then wrestle one in the same day?

If you want to practice alligator wrestling check out Colorado Gators Farms they are 20 miles north of Alamosa in Southern Colorado. For $100 dollars you get to wrestle Alligators for about 3 hours. It is definately worth the trip but you have to make reservations in advance

Larry’s right. if you’re half way smart you probably brought along a gun on this trip to the cannibal infested island. in this case, just shoot it.

First off, I don’t really think I’d want a girlfriend who’s ignorant enough to take a bath in an alligator or crocodile infested river/lake/whatever. If one wishes to survive in the wild, one must pay attention to one’s environment, and adapt one’s actions to ensure one’s survival.

Second, if silly girl insists on bathing amongst the carnivorous critters, I’d tend toward the use of the Ruger Blackhawk .45 LC instead of the wrestling techniques in the article. That ends the critter problem and the sound of the shot may get her attention long enough for me to point out just how stupid her recent action really was. Thereby giving her useful information to possibly save her life in the future.

Well, now I know – don’t ever imitate a cover image on ‘Man’s Life’. Looks like he’s about a quarter-second from losing an arm.

Gators can actually reach 34 mph in short bursts. You only wanna race if you get a good head start.

To Walt – ‘ In Florida we don’t usually let the kids play with their food, anyway’

What do you mean by this ?

@David – The discussion is about alligators. Crocodiles have exposed teeth when the mouth is closed, and this technique will not work as well. In Florida we don’t usually let the kids play with their food, anyway.
