66-year-old Sam Crutchfield was back on the water after being attacked by an alligator while wade-fishing last month. He comments rather plainly, "'I don't know what the odds are, maybe a million to one, but you can throw those odds out the window when one bites you in the [butt] like it did me.'" As an article by Tim Povtak in the Orlando Sentinel points out, the later-than-usual mating season -- when gators are particularly hungry -- may be responsible for this and other attacks that have claimed the lives of three women in the past few weeks.
