Hal Conover, of Hawkins, Texas, first noticed a 10-foot alligator on his property when he was weaning calves. He called an alligator hunter and his son to help him capture the animal in a unique way: With a rope. Once they lassoed the gator, they anchored it to the ground but the animal wasn't giving up without a fight. It bit one of the men before it was taken away to a nearby gator farm.
