税是这样的：
一年650～700美元。
这个是农业用地和住宅的混合地。

这个大牧场，一共168英亩。卖家叫价一亩2500美元，总值是42万美元。

这片地的确给人神清气爽的感觉。开阔，小风吹着很爽啊。想想夏天的夜里，几个好朋友，或者几家朋友，坐在小屋前的凉台上，小酒喝喝，吹吹牛，看看南天上的星星，真的是很爽啊。

刚看到这条新闻：美国男子猎杀400公斤重4米长巨鳄 一枪毙命

找到了原文：

DALLAS - A Dallas lawyer is making headlines for actions outside the court room.

Levi McCathern managed to kill a 14-foot, 900 pound alligator.

McCathern said he and his guide spent two days stalking the reptile along the Trinity River in Leon County. He killed the creature with one shot to the head.

果然又是一个爆头党啊！俺太喜欢了！

完全版的在这里：
An episode of 'Swamp People’ inspired Dallas attorney Levi McCathern to go on a hunt for bigger game.

"Something I wanted to do was hunt something that could hunt me and alligators seemed like a challenge,” said McCathern, who has hunted since the age of six.

But huge reptiles are a far cry from hunting dove and quail, which McCathern said he hunts year-round.

As McCathern started looking for places he could hunt the large reptile, he checked the internet and typed two words -- monster alligators. One place that kept showing in the search was the Trinity River. Yes, the Trinity River, which criss-crosses much of North Texas.

Thus, McCathern decided that's where he would hunt the colossal creature.

Guided by experts two hours outside Dallas in Leon County, McCathern got his shot when a monster gator popped his head up out of the water just long enough for McCathern to pull the trigger.

"It went right in the brain... it was a perfect shot, probably my luckiest shot.”

Weighing a whopping 900 lbs and stretching 14 ft long, McCathern's gator may be the largest ever killed in Texas history.

"They took him to the town square in Crockett and just caused a traffic jam,” said McCathern who admits his testosterone has been "very high" since the kill.

"My wife probably doesn't like it as much as she should, I've been pretty big since I killed this alligator.”

It’s the kind of trophy that makes legends of hunters, though McCathern has proven as a lawyer he’s quite the angler, landing the biggest fish in town as a client, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys.

McCathern said the plan is to have the gator mounted and placed on a wall in his office where other hunting trophies adorn the walls.

Is his conquest of the giant reptile proof positive lawyers are truly sharks?

McCathern laughs at the idea, along with his new nickname.

"My name is Levi G McCathern...and everybody says it's G for Gator.”

It is against the law to hunt alligators along the Trinity River, but McCathern had special permission from a private property owner to go on the hunt after many of the rancher's cattle were gobbled up by the behemoth reptile.

这报道不准确，LEON郡怎么也算不上是德州北部啊，东部或者中部吧。
的确就是俺说的这块地方啊。以前不知道这里还有大鳄鱼，只知道有大野猪！
来劲了！太有趣了，哈哈哈，人生又有新目标鸟！

打这种厚皮大蜥蜴，是不是得上硬尖穿甲弹+Magnum？普通.22会不会被弹开？

我以前也想过这个问题，后来看了前文提到的SWAMP PEOPLE才知道米国佬是怎么对付鳄鱼的：
他们把鸡腿做诱饵，内藏大钩子，用粗绳子挂在离水面2-3尺的地方。这就是人险恶的地方了：挂在这么高的地方，鳄鱼必然全力挺身出水，然后嘎巴一下一口吞下那个鸡腿，这套技术动作它们已经做了数百万年了，太熟了。但是涅，遇到了狡猾的人类它们就算是惨了，鳄鱼那么一个挺身吞下那个鸡腿，这么大的力量自然就深深的把那个钩子挂在口腔或者喉咙的内壁上，然后就跑不了了。等猎人们回来收钩的时候，如果有搭档，那就是一个人收线，把鳄鱼收到船的旁边，尽量控制鳄鱼的动作；另外一个搭档用点22小口径步枪对准脑门子就是一枪。然后，一切就结束了。这么大个庞然大物，脑子也就只有一个鸡蛋到网球那么大，只要一枪打中，立刻玩完。
这么个搞法，鳄鱼皮不会受损，打死的鳄鱼不会沉底找不回来。
电视里那些人都是职业的，一年有200个TAG, 这些鳄鱼就是他们的主要收入。鳄鱼肉自己吃掉，鳄鱼皮拿去卖钱。

一般都是规定不能用步枪打水面上的东西的，好射手太少，一般臭水平的人太多。万一没有打中目标，弹头在水面上形成了跳弹，那就不知道弹跳到哪里去了。万一打死个人，那就不好玩了。

SWAMP PEOPLE现在正在播放，俺上个星期刚刚看过。

大灰狼的报告：

我在《Dallas Morning News》上看到的这个报道。那家伙是个律师，带着他儿子跟导
猎去一个庄园射Gator.他们早就看好这个家伙了。可是那天去猎的时候，老半天都没见
到它，而他儿子早已打到一头不小的鳄鱼了。临到中午时这头鳄鱼终于出现。他一枪过
去，那鳄鱼显然中枪。可是它一个打滚翻进河里沉底不见了。这时他儿子要去参加球赛
，而他自己却要回去参加他老婆的生日Party。他们先走了，留下导猎和庄园里的人帮
他把鳄鱼打捞上来。后来把这头巨无霸摆到小镇子中心广场时，引起轰动。即使当地的
红脖子们都没见过这么大一头恐龙似的爬行动物。

鳄鱼上岸之后比较笨重，用绳杆套鳄鱼脖子可能还有戏；在水里，这玩意可是跟蛟龙一样，能潜水的，哪里是那么容易套的？你自己去看几集SWAMP PEOPLE，就明白米国的红脖子们是怎么对付鳄鱼的了。

PDF格式的。这个LEON县是可以用枪打鳄鱼的地方。

没有自己的农场，不是地主的，不能随便到河边去猎杀鳄鱼。地主可以以保护牲畜的名义射杀自己地界里的鳄鱼。
州政府的狩猎抽签，很少人能够抽到。能抽到签的幸运儿，一年也只能打一条鳄鱼。
鳄鱼这么笨的爬虫，如果不是这么靠法律保护，在现代的枪械面前，那就真的是渣，一枪轰一条。

有一类“城管”，嗯，其实按工作性质那就是“乡管”了，叫做Game Warden，他们就是专门管跟狩猎有关的执法的。他们权限很大，比如狩猎季节，不要搜查证就可以查你的车的。

关于打鳄鱼的抽签，我联合W博士还有一个猎友一起报名参加了德州政府的抽签。
希望真能抽到啊。
但是若真的中了签，又要发愁平底船的事情了。那地方水面大，水浅。
