Attachment 49375I told my wife this my new fishing buddy, seen him close to same place for two days
Didnt know you guys had those lizards there.:rolleyes::o
yep in the southern part of state for sure, this one on lake millwood with about thousand of his buddys
We have several up here in Yell and Pope county. You can see several on a little lake called Kingfisher and Pullen pond. They are the reason I quit tube fishing. I even got nervous about using my bass scamp so I sold them all. The only time I ever felt threatened was when I was dragging a stringer of blue gills behind me. It was an easy meal for them. Dogs that come to the water to get a drink get a surprise too I have heard.
Those things taste good!!
Yea Midnight - I your ever lucky enough to draw a ARK gator permit, Millwood is the place to go. I look at the gator permit like the elk permit maybe one day. Either trip will cost some money.

Alligators have always been in Arkansas--The early settlers kind of cleaned them out until Game and Fish took control of placing them in Arkansas waterways. The turtle is their favorite food I understand and they get a lot of the trash fish also. At times they manage to get a deer swimming the river.
Lake Millwood is full of gators---Mud lake and McQuire Lake I know have many many of them. I watch them if they are nesting I stay away. Also Snake Creek in Lake Millwood has a few--I saw two large ones in there--probably close to 3/4 length of my alumium boat maybe 10-12 feet.
I live in Yell County and hear about Gators here. But only ones I've seen is on the lower Arkansas River. Several years back they say a big one was caught in a hoop net on the Petit Jean River. Most of them here area suppose to be on the Petit Jean WMA and Holla Bend Refuge.
