Well the Javelina portion of our hunt was cancelled due to flooding but we still had a very successful gator and hog hunt in Texas.

First our alligator hunt in south Texas. I ended up shooting a monster gator. Way bigger than I expected. 11' 5" and 410 lbs

My buddy also ended up getting a gator. His wasn't near my size at 7' 2" but still a very respectable mature female gator. Also we felt fortunate to both get one as it was getting late in the day and the wind had really kicked up which was limiting gator activity.

Next we hit up my cousin-in-laws place for some night time thermal and night vision hunting. Makes for some long nights rolling in at 3:30 and 4:30am but its always a great time and makes you never want to hunt hogs any other way ever again! We had 7 confirmed kills the first night and 18 confirmed kills the second night. I say confirmed because those are the ones we actually picked up. We dropped several others we could not locate in the tall grass and wheat fields. Here are some glory pics from the second night
