What equipment will I need to go Alligator shooting?
I would like to take some early evening canoe trips with my hubby to check out the wildlife and see how many alligators live in my neighborhood. My backyard is Dog River, Alabama. I see them more often further North at the top of Mobile Bay in the Delta area, but I haven't seen an alligator in Dog River.
What should I take? I'd like to have some good hands free light. What else do I need?
I have a two person canoe and some good cameras... what else?

Thanks for all the great information regarding wildlife photography. I wish I could get my hands on a telephoto lens! I do have a decent digital and will be setting it on multiple exposures to see.
Well... if I don't see any Gators in Dog River, I'll just have to take my canoe up to the Tensaw Delta. Tip coming your way!

I wish you would have taken the time to read the question. I was referring to shooting with a camera.
Even if did want to go out and kill them, there is a short hunting season in the State of Alabama, and my name would have to be drawn from a hat.

I was also looking into some good light sources. Besides having a good light on my head (since my arms will be busy paddling) should I also have a light source on the boat?
What do you think of this head flashlight? Would LED be better than a regular light?

You'll have to report back on this! I don't think you'll find an experienced night, alligator photographer to ask.
LED's are better, but how about this one? It takes 3 batteries vs 2 and seems to have more LED's:

here's a clamp on boat light for kayaks etc
