MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. (WPTV/CNN) – Thanks to good Samaritans and a team of rescuers, a Florida hunter still has his leg and his life after he was bitten by an alligator.

James Boyce, 46, was attacked by an approximately 10-foot-long alligator Saturday while hog hunting along the Martin-Palm Beach County line in Florida.

“Sometimes you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he’s hungry for something to eat, and I’m dinner,” said Boyce at a news conference Tuesday. “When he bit me, it was like putting my leg in an electrical socket… I’m screaming because he’s crushing my leg, blood curdling.”
