skin it and pack a shitload of meat in the freezer
I do think there should be a limit to how big of a gator you can kill. If it's 10' and over, it should not be killed.
Reason being is that even though there are many many gators now, hunters are going after the largest gators. This results in the smaller/weaker gators to live and breed. This in turn progressively weakens the gator gene pool
