A round from the rifle of U.S. Army veteran Anthony Cuccia IV sends up a spray of water and spells the end of the line for one unlucky alligator at Chicot State Park, Ville Platte, La., Sept. 4, 2014. Cuccia, who deployed to Iraq during his time in service, is one of four wounded warriors sponsored on the hunt by Master Sgt. Darryl Moore, 307th Force Support Squadron first sergeant. The annual Louisiana alligator hunt is a unique tradition. Moore wanted to give the wounded warriors a chance to experience the unique event and have time to enjoy the camaraderie, food and fun it offers. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
