If you haven't already done so, take a look at the article by Don Thomas in the June/July Traditional Bowhunter, "Big Lizards."  A good primer.  I've shot a lot of carp, buffalo (fish)and gar but don't have access to gators.  Good luck.

Did it a few times, years ago. But I'm sure there are others on here that have more experience then I do. If you don't get the answers that you need send me a PM and I'll tell you everything I know.

Either way Good Luck, Your going to have a BLAST.

Hmmm, that Don Thomas article sounds familiar.

Go to the dangerous game forum. There is some info there. There's a bunch of different ways  to do it. Just make sure the way you choose is safe and that you have fun.

I'm expecting a to be drawn here in Ga any day now.  I have some things to do before I'm ready!  I know where the gators are though.
