See ya later, alligator!

A Florida hunter bagged a testy 13-foot, 719-pound gator by shooting it with a crossbow and wrestling it into submission, he said.

“It was a rush — sort of a heart attack. You just try to stay calm,” Clark Woodsby, 34, of Orlando, told The Post.

Woodsby — who had been hired to get rid of the “aggressive and territorial” reptile — said he struck the behemoth in the shoulder with “a perfect shot” from 15 yards away, then wrangled it onto a boat and shot it in the head with a .357 Magnum with help from three buddies.

The hunter plans to serve the “wild gator meat” from his catch at his restaurant chain.
