Spring alligator season opens in Texas non-core counties
Texas Parks and Wildlife launches a spring alligator season in non-core counties to reduce nuisance reports as gators move into ponds and man-made waters. Critics warn the policy may increase risk by allowing open-water shooting without tags or size limits, while core counties like Chambers are unaffected. Local residents, processors, and officials clash over conservation aims versus hunting convenience.
