alligator hunting
The way its done in Louisiana, is #1 set out a baited hook and line overnight, check in the morning for results, the straight forward and simple way is to slowly bring the gator up to the surface with the line and kill on sight, now this seems simple, but things can get real hairy when this procedure goes wrong, (flying bone, bullets, boat, water, gator,). #2 IF in an area where open water shooting is allowed and all the conditions are right for shooting a gator off a line, this is not only difficult but you risk loosing your gator, tide, shot placement, location, equipment all plays into this going right. I personally don't care for bang sticks, takes the fun out of it for me, archery is a real experience when done right.
If you need more info give me a call I'll be more than happy to "talk gator" with you.
