A Florida hunter has captured footage of a giant alligator devouring a duck he or his partner had just shot.
“It’s not just fishing, Florida duck hunting has a tax man, too!” Cass Couey wrote on Facebook. (A sharper version of his video, posted below, was featured by Pro Hunt on Instagram.)
According to Nexstar, Couey was hunting with Kevin Stipe near Leesburg, in Central Florida, in late November, when the “monster” gator swept in for the easy meal.

In the Instagram footage, one of the hunters says, “Here we go, No. 2 of the day,” and later adds: “Alright, you’re fed, now get out of here.”

The phrase “tax man” is often used by fishermen in reference to sharks that have ripped chunks of flesh from fish they had hooked.
At the time of this post, Couey had not responded to a request for more details.
