"Souvenir from her S.C. vacation: 13-foot alligator; Fitchburg hunter says it took hours to subdue animal" by Jeffrey Fish, Globe Correspondent | September 21, 2010
A Fitchburg woman traveled to South Carolina last week and went on the hunt of a lifetime, catching a 13-foot, 1,025-pound alligator.
Maryellen Mara-Christian, 48, was alligator hunting Wednesday on Lake Moultrie with her husband, Mark, and a friend, when they spotted the colossal animal.
It took hours to subdue the alligator, said Mara-Christian. “It wasn’t an easy feat. It’s physically challenging.’’
She had gone hunting for 10 hours the day before, with no luck, she said....
The alligator had to be moved with a bucket truck. It was taken to a taxidermist, where the meat — now in Mara-Christian’s freezer — was processed. She is waiting for the hide to be tanned so it can be mounted on her wall.
