Title: First Big Game Trad Kill
Post by: 59Alaskan on September 14, 2014, 07:49:00 AM

Took this last night with the help of Benjy.  The only other game I have taken with trad gear is squirrel.

I think the smile says it all.  7ft gator

1959-1960 Bear Alaskan.  48#.  700gr arrow

Thanks guys!  Here is a full length picture.  Not the largest gator but a fine trophy for me.  He tastes great and it was storming all around us that night so I am blessed to have gotten that hunt in at all.

They are a blast to hunt an not so easy.
