I'm planning on trying to get a gator hunt this year and was just wonderin' if any of y'all have ever taken a gator with a bow (crossbow)? I'd be able to use a bang stick but my nephew reaaaaaaaally wants to make it a bow only kill.
Is there any advice that y'all can give to make it more successful?

actually any gator huntin' advice would be greatly appreciated...i've caught lil ones with my hands but i've never gone after a big ol boy like we're plannin' on...i'm kinda really nervous about it.

thanks in advance.
