Big Ed, the bow you made for Billy worked flawlessly and looked good doing it!

Well all 3 generations of Langers scored on nice gators. Being fully committed to providing quality videos for others to enjoy, they sacrificed taking larger gators for those with good video opportunity. The next Traditional Adventures DVD should be terrific.  

The Langers are great people and I was very fortunate to spend time with them as they experienced a 3 generation hunt for the first time.

I'm sure Bill will chime in or start another thread with all the hunt details.

Also as part of this hunt, I took out the winner of the PBS membership drive free alligator hunt. The hunt winner was Eric Port of PA and he hunted about 1/2 of a night to take a good solid alligator.

My daughter Jennifer was with us and overall it was a great trip.

Bucksdown, it is hard to beat Lake Okeechobee for gators.  We saw hundreds each of the 3 nights we hunted.

Of the four gator hunters there was only one that took just one shot at a gator. Guess who that was?

Yep, Billy!  He stepped up to the plate and performed like a seasoned veteran.

I'd like to thank Terry for putting this hunt together. The effort he put into this,with hauling his boat from NY nonestop, aranging with his dad so we would have a place to stay, getting tags from a resident so my grandson could hunt,and the list goes on. His unselfish dedication to traditional bow hunting is second to none. Because of his guidance it allowed me,my son and grandson to experience a 3 generations hunt, something I've been looking forward to since my first grandchild was born.The hunt was captured on vidio, but the image of my grandson executing the shot on his firstever big game animal will be forever burnt in my memory, he was flawless. I'm not trying to brag, I'm one proud grandfather. THANKS AGAIN TERRY

Dick, I'm so grateful to have been able to share such a special time with you and your family. You have created an amazing legacy of true sportsmen. It was really great getting to know you, Bill, and Billy.  I'd drive twice as far and pull a bigger boat just to share another camp with you and your family.
