Outstanding!  That was about as good as a gator hunt gets, and a beautiful specimen to top it off.  The practice shots just amped up the excitement level even higher!

Way to go April!  That is a perfect eating size gator and the hide will be fantastic for some nice leather products!

She is now trying to decide what she wants out of the leather. Definately a guitar strap out of the center part of the back but she is not sure what she wants out of the rest yet.

I am contemplating a mango bar-b-que sauce grilled gator bites later on in the week  :D  

Julian, this was down in the Ashepoo river, a very nice and usually remote area!

Benjy,

That is great!  What an experience for father and daughter.  Is she gonna make an alligator purse?

Even though we have tons of gators, tags are really hard to get and go mostly to commercial outfits in La. (think Swamp People types). Have three in our pond and others in the bayous and told we would probably never get a tag for em.

Oh, and like them Team Zipper cap wraps!
