PELION, S.C. — A local cheerleader spent part of her weekend on a boat hunting of all things, alligators — and she came back with a big one. Cammie Colin, 16, helped catch a gator that was 10 feet, 5 inches long and weighed 353 pounds. The Pelion teen was on a boat with family and friends in a swampy area near the town of Santee and caught the reptile. The group used a fishing pole to both lure the gator and drag him close to their boat. "I was very shocked when it got to the boat that it was that size," Cammie said. She then used a crossbow to shoot the gator. She and four others then taped the alligator's mouth shut and took it back to land. The junior varsity cheerleader at White Knoll High School has been on deer hunts with her father, but this was her first time alligator hunting. In South Carolina, 16-year-olds can register to hunt gators, and Cammie did that earlier this year.
