A hook is ready for an unwitting alligator to take its bait at Chicot State Park in Ville Platte, La., Sept. 4, 2014. This alligator season, Wounded War Heroes of Lousiana and Master Sgt. Darryl Moore, 307th Force Support Squadron first sergeant, teamed up to coordinate a special hunt for wounded veterans. Although this bait never did lure an alligator, plenty of others did. The grateful veterans bagged dozens of alligators in the Louisiana waterways over the course of two days. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Ted Daigle/Released)
