Horatio teacher nabs 12-foot alligator


HORATIO, Ark. — A fifth-grade teacher at Horatio Elementary caught a 12-foot alligator recently during Arkansas' brief alligator season.

This was the second year that Liz Bowman received an alligator permit.

"I grew up hunting with my dad but this is only the second year I've been alligator hunting," she said. "It was exciting but kind of scary also because it was a really big alligator," she said.

The hunt is the last two weekends of September.

"I was one of about 100 Arkansas hunters to receive a 2019 Gator Permit. This was my second time to receive a gator permit. In last year's hunt, I tagged a 7.5-foot male gator. However, this year I was able to tag a monster 12 footer. I came upon this one and was close enough to harpoon it," Bowman said.

Bowman is a fifth-grade social studies teacher who enjoys hunting and being outdoors in her spare time.
