Cowboys rope 10-foot gator threatening their livestock
Raw video: Group secures reptile until professionals could arrive to take it away in East Texas
East Texas cowboys are seen in a video roping a monster-size alligator threatening livestock.
Cattle rancher Hal Canover rounded up a group of friends when the 10-foot creature wandered onto his land in Hawkins last week, Fox 4 Dallas reports.
“He was a dangerous one,” Conover said. “But he was leaving the place — dead or alive.”
