[QUOTE="surjimmy, post: 2310044, member: 1551"] A very good friend of mine retired this past Sept. He called me and asked if I would go on a Gator hunt with him, sure I say. Not really my kind of a thing, but this guy has a heart as big as the Heavens. We met him through Deer Slayer(that cracks me up every time I type that) in 2008 and he has let my family and I deer hunt on his land every year since then. With not so much as letting me pay him a dollar. Long story short, we both got us a Gator. Mine was 8 1/2ft long and his 7 1/2ft. Had the time of our lives, the guide was an instant friend and his first mate was a hoot. We used a crossbow, when you shot it the shaft was tied off to a bowie. You then drug the Gator to the side of the airboat and used a bangstick on him. You then made about a 4in cut behind it's eye's to cut the spinal cord. You then stuck a wire in what looks like a straw and scramble his brains. I told the Guide I have never caught anything big on a rod and reel. He said he could fix that. He snagged about a 7 footer and let me reel it in. What a blast The first mate lost his left eye to a tumor, his patch was gator hide with a marble Gator eye in the middle. If anyone want info on this hunt. PM me and I'll put you in touch. $850 guide fees and $50 for the tag.
