LEESBURG, Fla. — Even by Florida standards, this was a large gator.
A video of a very large alligator sneaking upon -- and then devouring -- a duck on a Florida lake has been shared more than 9,100 times on Facebook.
“Florida duck hunting has a taxman too!” Cass Couey wrote on Facebook.
Couey and Kevin Stipe were duck hunting near the Central Florida city of Leesburg when they encountered the massive reptile.

“Here we go, No. 2 of the day,” one man can be heard in the video, which was posted on Facebook.
Stipe and Couey own a navigation app called Pro Hunt. The app utilizes the GPS in a person’s iPhone or iPad to track hunters on a moving map, according to the product’s website.
Earlier this month, a 10-foot alligator strolled across the grounds of the Valencia Golf & Country Club in Naples, forcing golfers to let the reptile play through. The one that Stipe and Couey saw appeared to be longer.

In Leesburg, the hunters were hoping the gator was satisfied after snatching a pair of ducks.
“All right, you’re fed,” another man says. “Now get out of here.”
