Gator Seen On Highway…Is This Photo Real Or Fake?

Gator seen on highway...in Florida that may not sounds that strange. How about hauling a gator on the back of an SUV driving down a Florida highway? There is a photo of one and now people are asking if the photo is real or fake.

Firstly, the photo was taken by Karen Kress as her family were driving along I-95 in Brevard County over the weekend. She ended up taking a picture of the gator and posting it on her Facebook.

Karen says she is "99% convinced its real," and presumes it was killed during a legal hunt. Florida's hunting season is currently happening through November 1. Karen said the gator seemed to have a cut on its tail.

After Karen put the photo on her Facebook people seemed to be split on if it is real or fake. Some people think it is a Halloween decoration. Also, others are questioning if hauling a gator like that is legal.

Check out the photo below.

Top 5 Best Guitar Pull Moments.  We hope you will join us this year for the QYK Guitar Pull.  It is not only our favorite show of the year, but so many in the Tampa community have said the same thing.  This is the 8th year we have done this show for you.

If you don't know what a "guitar pull" is, it's an intimate show where all of the artists are on stage at the same time.  The artists will each play two songs, then a quick break and then two more songs.  The show lasts around 3 hours long, depending on the artists themselves.  Each artist stops down and talks about the song stories.  Sometimes they just talk about other stuff, but the crowd is always entertained and laughing.  You never know what they will say on stage at the QYK Guitar Pull, which makes it our favorite show of the year.  The show sells out every year.  It's not a dance show, majority of people in the audience sit in their seats, a great date night actually.

This years show will once again be at The Mahaffey Theater in downtown St. Petersburg on Sunday November 12th!  On stage this year is Scotty McCreery, and more!  There will be 5 artists on stage this year.    Stay tuned to find out who else will be joining the show each weekday morning at 8:20 the week of September 5th-8th.

It's crazy to think about some of the big names that have been on our Guitar Pull stage in the past.  Morgan Wallen, Sam Hunt, Kane Brown, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Chris Janson, Dustin Lynch, Charles Kelley, Big and Rich....and many more.  Majority of the artists want to be apart of our guitar pull because we use this to give back to our community.  Proceeds from the show help out the Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts.

So hard to pick out some of the most memorable moments, but here is our top 5

Here is a video from 2021  and us having fun with the artists.

Someone asked Chris to sing this song - and so Chris decided to do it tonight. The very first time he sang Drunk Girl at a show was this QYK Guitar Pull and it was amazing!

Morgan sat on stage next to Hardy and the boys had a great night - Morgan sang a bunch of his songs acoustically and we really enjoyed it!

Kane Brown was amazing at Guitar Pull

That year we had Dustin Lynch, Mitchell Tenpenny and more on stage, but I think Cam stole the show that year!
