Hunters catch and kill 15ft, 800lb alligator that was eating cows on their farm

   

The 800lb creature was fatally shot in Okeechobee, Florida, on Saturday after terrorizing the cattle on a farm. Lee Lightsey, the owner of Outwest Farms in Okeechobee, and hunting guide, Blake Godwin, discovered the enormous animal in their cattle ponds on April 2.

On Saturday the creature surfaced around 20ft from them, so they shot it. It was so big they had to use a tractor to drag it out.

 However, they were then able to use the vehicle to proudly show off their catch. They plan to donate the gator's meat to charity and have the alligator taxidermied for display at their hunting shows and expos
