First Big Game Trad Kill
« 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

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

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.
