[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 370469, member: 432"] Gators that do occasionally take a dog get the biggest percentage of them from yards that are on the lake. Most if not all of those dogs are just family pets that are not raised to be as wary as a hunting dog and are out in the yard by themselves. Gators are an ambush predator. They ease up to the bank and rush out to attack an unsuspecting dog. There are usually no people close by when this happens. If you are close by the gator would rather leave the area in most cases. If you are hunting you are on your guard to the slightest change in the happenings around you. The hunting dog is also paying very close attention to its surroundings waiting for some action. After saying that let me tell you that not all gators will run away from you. Some are very inquisitive on what is happening around them. I have even had them rub up against the boat. Those are the ones I keep a close eye on. A little story, I was out fishing one night and when I shined my light across the water to bank about fifty feet away there must have been a hundred or more baby gators eyes shining back at me. I was wondering how many mamas were in the vicinity. I had never seen so many in one spot. [/QUOTE]
