They believed the gator had been feasting on the farm's cattle.
Godwin told Fox 12:
'We also discovered the remains what we determined to be cattle in the
water. We determined that he was in fact attacking our livestock as they
came to drink.'
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.
