Teen girl bags 10-foot alligator with a crossbow
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A 16-year-old girl has bagged a 10-foot alligator in a South Carolina swamp.
In the middle of the night. With a crossbow.
The State newspaper in Columbia reported that Cammie Colin won one of 1,000 lottery slots for the state’s
annual public alligator harvest. Hunters are required to use a crossbow or a harpoon.
Cammie was the only person in her group authorized to shoot the 353-pound gator. The Lexington resident
was with a guide, her father, an uncle and her brother in an 18-foot boat early Sunday in the headwaters
of Lake Marion.
They have 40 pounds of alligator steak in the freezer now.
Cammie says most of her teachers are using her new nickname, "Killer.".
