Hey all,


OMG,  What do you do with a carcass that big.  What do you do to a thing like that.  Skin it? Stuff it?  Grind it up into Gator burgers?

By the way... Great shooting Congrats.

Congratulations, that is one awesome critter, makes me want to put one of those on my dream list of hunts.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Tell Mark congrats! Nice gator for sure. That's a lot of money sitting there and a bunch of good eating.
