Alexander Pope.
"A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring"--Alexander Pope
Pope essay on criticism. The quotation is; A little Learning is a dang'rous Thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring. Many have misquoted it to a little knowledge is a dangerous thing
The Pierian Spring is a metaphorical term for a source of knowledge or inspiration, derived from Greek mythology. It was believed to be a spring in Pieria, Macedonia, which was sacred to the Muses and said to impart wisdom and poetic inspiration to those who drank from it.
Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744) wrote 'An Essay on Criticism' in 1709. In it he wrote: "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: there shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, and drinking largely sobers us again." The modern meaning translates to mean that people with a small amount of knowledge often think that they have more 'expertise' than they really do. Sometimes, when this percieved 'expertise' translates into action, it can result in unpredictable, or even tragic consequences.
No, too dangerous this year.

Usually the most dangerous is in the spring when pasture is coming on and the hunting season can also be dangerous.
Yes.
When a spring is fully compressed, it is in a state of maximum compression or fully condensed.
yes they are more dangerous than regular alligators especially in spring when their babies are born!
Neither
No. There is an idiom Spring into action, meaning to get active immediately, and there is an idiom Spring out, meaning to appear suddenly. Use one or the other.
