Very cool indeed. Makes you want to go down south and hunt up a gator.

Thanks guys.

I attached a 3/8" thick piece of plywood in the bottom. I cut it in an oval shape and then glued a 2" thick piece of rubber foam on top of that. The hide came back the same thickness, it was not thinned down, this is just the gator hide.

The three oval parts in this picture are the bottom parts.

:eek: That turned out great!!
I realy like the way the scales on the hide get smaller, as the quiver gets to the bottom end.

Is the leather plyable enough for a bow grip? Arrow rest? Arm Guard? Funny hat for Mudd?

Yes, It's plyable enough for all those things. My next project is to make a regular back quiver out of the tail piece. Larry's been giving me some tips. I just finished a guitar strap out of the black back piece and then some arm guards are on my "to do" list.

"Fabuloso" !!! So how did the gator meat taste?!

Very nice quiver! You did a good job on it! You've also given me an idea.

Was it as much fun as getting the gator?
Great looking quiver, I am envious.

7 Lakes · « **Reply #57 on:** April 04, 2011, 06:57:00 PM »

Been watching "Swamp People" on the Discovery channel. I'm ready to go but wife and kids say no. So far no episode on bow hunting gators.

That's a fine looking quiver.

Now "That" is funny! We have only had a gator season here in SC for 3 years. The first year my wife would not let my daughter go. It can and is dangerous but as long as you take your time and pay attention to what you're doing, you will be fine. I take her now, she loves the outdoors. This one is my biggest 8'6" with 6" of the tail missing. I don't think I want one any bigger!

There is a great opportunity on the St Judes Auction for a Gator hunt. You guys should check it out! It went for a steal last year!
