There was a time when gators were "endangered" and no hunting was allowed. Now gators, like deer are alowed to be hunted. Almost all public hunts are primitive. But large landowners with problem gators can apply for and are granted special "deprepation permits". Kinda like they are allowed to take limited number of deer out of season if the deer are too numerous and bothering crops. Most ranchers manage their wildlife better then the goverment manages public land.
