Thanks Chris for sharing a great hunt along with some wonderful pictures.

Larry, as a father to an 11 year old boy I aspire everyday to have the type of relationship you have with Chris. Thank you for sharing such heartfelt words.

Thanks Brad. I've heard of gallinules and we even have a season for them here in AR but have never seen one. Coots, on the other hand, are numerous. Black body with white beak and feet. We don't hunt them though.

This has been an awesome thread. Looks like a blast. I may have to put in for an alligator permit in AR. They allow something like 10 permits here (for the whole state.) I imagine if I were to draw one cousin ArkyBob would supply the boat.

Great story Chris! I wish I would have been there! It is great that you and Larry were able to spend alot of quality time with each other. Gator hunting is very relaxing, peaceful, frustrating and exciting! That's the best I can explain it!

Larry, with 2 preferance points, you and I will be hunting Gators in SC next year!

Chris, Great Looking Boat!!!!

Benjy,

We are certainly looking forward to next year.

I'll bring my boat along and do the driving while y'all spot and hunt.

One of the best parts of the hunt...the first meal.

Fried Gator
Fried Okra
Sweet Tater Fries
Corn Bread with a touch of Orange Blossom Honey

nice job on the gators and nice boat, I live about 16 miles south of Orange Lake but only go there to bass fish. Glad you guys had a good time!

Well done guys! Thanks for sharing the hunts with us.

Great story and pics, thanks!

Chris,
Can you elaborate on the "challenges with hunting them in our tidal rivers" comment?

I spend a good bit of time on the tidal rivers (not hunting gators) and am just curious what you are referring to with that comment.

Great thread and thanks for sharing!

Benjy · « **Reply #59 on:** August 23, 2010, 06:39:00 PM »

Duckbutt, When Chris and I could go gator hunting the tides were high causing the Gators to be way back up in the grass. Also dealing with the current made things interesting.

We spent time in the Ashepoo, Combahee, and the Edisto. Beautiful Rivers by the way! I have a friend that has a tag in the Charleston area this year if you know where one is hiding

Benjy
