How to skin and debone a 'gator

[JAB]

I am continually amazed at the interesting and informative videos that can be found on YouTube stuck in among the latest feud between two people of whom I have never heard or advice for applying mascara.  I have skinned, broken down, trimmed and processed a deer by myself (never killed one - not for a lack of trying - but have butchered deer that I have been given) but I honestly don't believe I would have had any idea as to where to even start on a 'gator before watching this video.  Now, that doesn't mean that I necessarily think I could do a good job of it even with the video but at least now I have some idea of the process involved.  What may be the most interesting part, to me, is that they don't even gut the dang thing.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING VIDEO SHOWS A REAL ANIMAL BEING BUTCHERED FOR FOOD.  I CONSIDER THE 'GORE FACTOR' OF THE VIDEO TO BE QUITE LOW, ACTUALLY, BUT YMMV.
