00:00We got a call about an alligator in a fairly large pond.
00:04I'm going to send Ollie and our intern, Daniel, because Ollie, he has this creation trap thing.
00:10This would be a perfect way to see if this works.
00:12All right, I have this part, you have that part.
00:15Let's get them.
00:16My invention doesn't really have a name right now, so I just call it a ch-chut.
00:20That's just a word we use whenever I don't know what to call something.
00:24So what is that?
00:25It's a ch-chut.
00:26All right, we're ready.
00:27Ready to roll.
00:28Load them up.
00:29Let's go.
00:35I didn't get the first call, so Gary and Shannon got it.
00:38But they're a little tied up, so they're sending me.
00:40But from what I gather, he's got about a five-foot alligator in his pond.
00:44He has ducklings and geese.
00:46The plan is just we'll set up this trap, bait it with some stanky meat, which you can handle.
00:52You earned it.
00:53You went to college.
00:54I found out about this internship on Texas A&M.
00:57I saw an ad that said American alligators, venomous snakes, and other reptiles,
01:02and I applied right away when I saw it.
01:05Oh, that's a fancy spread.
01:13Oh, I got movement.
01:15Brad!
01:16How's it going?
01:17How are you?
01:18How you doing?
01:19Better than I deserve.
01:20I'm Arlie.
01:21I'm Brad Daniel.
01:22So I'm here to set out a trap for your lizard.
01:23My biggest concern, gator being here, is going after livestock and going after my quacking geese,
01:29the ducks, the gator has going after them.
01:32And now the fowl will not go in the water due to the gator.
01:35Hey, goose.
01:38Oh, he doesn't sound happy.
01:39No.
01:40So where do you usually see him?
01:42Right in this area.
01:43Right in here?
01:44Yeah.
01:45There he is right there.
01:46Sure looks like him, doesn't it?
01:48Now I know what I'm dealing with.
01:49I'm going to get out of your hair and set up all my gear, and I'll see you in the morning, bud.
01:53You good with that?
01:54I appreciate it, Gus.
01:55I've had some problems with gators here, but they've always moved.
01:59But right now, it's so dry, they're staying in ponds.
02:02He wants the alligator gone, and we're going to get him gone.
02:05All right, bring that little chit-chit right over here, and we'll get started.
02:09He was right there, so bring it about right here.
02:12We're going to point it straight out toward the middle.
02:14I don't want him to be able to go in here and then turn around.
02:17I want him to walk in and then walk straight back out so that snare grabs his armpits.
02:26All right, if you go get something to hammer this down, I'm going to go get some kind of a stick that I can use to hold my bait.
02:35All right, it's in.
02:37Now you're going to get some of that nasty meat and put it on this stick.
02:41How's it smell?
02:42It's great.
02:43Get in there.
02:44The best bait for an alligator like that is good old stanky rotten meat.
02:48A mixture of chicken and pork and everything.
02:51You put that in a freezer bag, let her sit in the bed of your truck and brew for a little while,
02:55and it's going to grow some kind of funky stuff.
02:57I don't know.
02:58I'm telling you, dude, if this doesn't work, you're going to look so dumb.
03:01This trap that I'm using, so the alligator's going to go in there and take that bait,
03:04and when he can't turn around, as he walks backwards, that snare's going to grab his armpits and cinch.
03:10He's going to swim off.
03:11It's going to pull a jug with him on a piece of rope.
03:13We're just going to follow the jug around, and we're going to have a lizard on it.
03:16Let's hope it snares him.
03:17Oh, it will.
03:18It will.
03:19It's going to work.
03:20I know it is.
03:22We're going to see an alligator or a jug moving around, and it's on.
03:26It's on.
03:27It's on.
