Arianne Prevost alligator catch. Arianne Prevost caught an 11 foot alligator the first time she went hunting Tuesday. Yes, the alligator is so large you can barely get him in the camera’s frame. The photographer who led the hunt sai: “An 11-footer is a true trophy in anyone’s book. “Arianne made two perfect shots with her crossbow to secure the trophy, before quickly dispatching it with a broadhead.

“This makes it a trophy archery kill.” The next stop for the gator - Drew’s Taxidermy in Orlando! Prevost told Florida Today: “I can’t seem to kill a deer, but I can kill an 11-foot alligator.” Florida's public alligator hunt is underway, and the nighttime pursuit of trophy-sized specimens in the muggy marshlands is challenging and often unproductive. But Arianne Prevost of Satellite Beach was in the right place at the right time, and with the right people on Tuesday night during her first-ever gator hunt, as she used a crossbow to bag an 11-footer weighing perhaps 450 pounds. At about 9 p.m. Prevost placed two perfect shots from 10 to 15 feet and dispatched the alligator with a broadhead shot at close range.
