"anyone hunt gators with a bow"? Yeah, last night. Got one too.

The Muzzy Gator arrow head detaches leaving only the barb in the gator. Good design so that the gator doesn't break your arrow off and leave.

200 pound line is good. I've found if you go too heavy it effect the arrow flight. I don't use my arrow line to fight him. I only use the line to find him (having a float tied on).

I'd suggest you follow up the arrow shot with a harpoon. You'll need that line in him to wear him out by hand fighting him. Basically pulling on him till he tires out. If you don't want to harpoon him at least put another bow shot on him so you'll have two lines in him (in case one pulls out).

After he is tired you can slowly pull him up beside the boat for the finishing. No matter how tired he might look, he always has one last blast in him. Don't let that blast include any of your body parts.

Any fixed broadhead would do if you hit him in the right spot, but I'd go with a .44 bang stick if I were you. But all archery tackle would be cool too.
