Gator Pictures?

[fred slyfield]

Hey Florida guys, after reading Jeff's article on gators and dogs I would really like too see some gator picts. (Out in the water or harvested is fine with me.)

A hunt for a big male is on my list of things to do after I retire this fall.I coud put a big gator hide righ next to my life size cougar mount so I would have the top of the food chain from both ends of the country.

Thanks

Fred

This photo was taken at Blue Spring State Park in Florida. I can't guess how big he was, but he was scary big. Maybe someone more familiar with the type of plants in the photo can tell us how big those leaves usually are. There was a female nearby that was only a little longer then his tail.

Is that Bo Jackson in the last pic?

Yes, we hunted Bo & filmed a TV show on the Stick Marsh a few years back with him.

He took (2) two gators with his bow.
