Gators Become Problem On Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island faces growing alligator encounters as wildlife officials report nuisance gators in multiple areas. Gator hunter Gordon Wells captured three large specimens, including two near 9 feet, amid reports of tourists feeding gators at Sea Pines and Sea Scape Villas. Wildlife expert Dean Marrigal warns feeding trains conflicts. 98 gator complaints logged this year across Beaufort Jasper Colleton and Hampton counties. A Lady’s Island dog was killed after an alligator bit its leg, frightening residents and tourists. Wells notes visitors feeding gators with pork chops and bare hands, risking serious harm.
