Yikes that fine would surely put a hurting on you.. Up here that is the fine for shooting a moose illegally plus a few days in the slammer. I sure wouldn't want to be any part of that stuff..

Intresting vid- if they taste like pork chops thats a good thing yep could make a few wallets to ( dont need to many fingers for sticks & strings?)

But if ilegal yep better not.

Do they have a licence, or a season for them there?

Sorry Mr. Fish in being late answering your questions and responding to your remarks..I saw it before ..but my job lately..been very challenging.
Intresting vid- if they taste like pork chops thats a good thing yep could make a few wallets to ( dont need to many fingers for sticks & strings?)yes sir..I'd love to have one.

But if ilegal yep better not.

Do they have a licence, or a season for them there? Yes sir..fact there is a lake within 5 miles in which has quota hunts..Hunters must be trained and every piece of the gator is used.I've never had an interest in gator hunting..thier tail is very unpredictable..I have hooked 10 footers and got them close to me before cutting the line..on 12 pound test..Simply use the drag..and pull..They have great power for about 15 seconds and then are pooped out about 15 seconds..so it's like fighting a huge fish..eventually you are pulling the gator closer and closer to ya..What is scary is when the gator stops surfacing and you don't know where he's going to surface.

Quite all right C7. I know your busy getting ready for school & all.
Thanks for the response. I doubt i will ever be hunting gators, just wondering.
Did see a thing on tv some ppl gator hunting at nite( not sure where).

But it looked intresting- well not really hunting more ropeing & draging it to shore & wrestling with it lol if i remember right ( and some others in a plastic box surrounded at nite filming a bunch of them feeding on a hog i think)
