The state's Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks has proposed a hunting season in response to a rise in reports of alligators in residential areas.
The proposed hunt would be scheduled for May 5-7 and May 12-14 in 2023, the Associated Press reports. The state plans on issuing 24 permits, or 12 for each weekend.
The permits would allow the hunters to harvest two alligators each. Also, certain safety precautions would have to be followed due to the area's proximity to residential areas.
