When I was a lad, we would take swimming gators from a canoe, with a single barrel Stevens 20 GA, and slugs.
I have not shot a gator in many years, but I have taken them fairly recently by using a stick I built, with a wire noose, and a t shaped pull handle. Slip the noose over the head, lean hard on the stick (a stainless steel spike in the tip, that spears into the gator's neck), pull hard on the handle, and choke the gator to death. Works well, but you have to practice a bit with it.
oh, it helps to pick on smaller gators too.
