Went to FL a couple of weeks ago for my first gator hunt. 10 1/2ft gator with a cross bow. We hunted at night from an air boat at Blue Cyprus WMA. It was a heck of an experience. Bonus was the 275lb hog.

It's was a great hunting experience! Yeah we brought back the meat in coolers. We just check it on as an extra bag. The processor froze it over night and it was still froze when we got home.

Man I love gator meat.... Just flour it and fry it up...

If anybody is interested in obtaining gator meat just go to your local Krogers and ask if they can order you some... The meat guy at my Krogers said he could order it but you had to buy a 5 pound minimum and at that time it was around $8 a pound...

I missed out on an opportunity to go on a gator hunt in August. This makes me regret it , that much more. Great specimens!

You're makin me hungry. Nicely done! See any big snakes, you know, of the constrictor family? Saw a show not long ago that made it sound like the swamps were thick with em.

You know we didn't see the first snake of any kind. I'm sure we passed a few hiding in the weeds but never saw any.
