Rick Kramer, right, a hunting guide from West Palm Beach, Fla., sinks his knife into the head of an eight-and-a-half-foot alligator several miles south of Clewiston, Fla., on Friday, August 18, 2006. Kramer led a group on the first ever non-motorized-vehicle alligator hunt at a reservior in Hendry County, just south of Lake Okeechobee. Hunters stalked the alligators from the water's edge and in small boats and canoes, using fishing rods and harpoons to snag their prey.
