That Sounds like an awesome hunt! No gators here in Michigan. Good luck with that hunt.

i'll be huntin' Hell n Blazes....it's part of the St.John's River.....central Florida.....talked to my nephew today and he wants to start scouting ASAP....I think it's a good idea...by the time the actual hunt comes around I won't be all paranoid of his airboat driving....he knows what he's doing but i've never gone out on it with him yet...rumor has it he takes unnecessary chance which scares me half to death.....i voiced my concerns so he should behave....now i have to decide whether to use a crossbow or my bow....at this point we are swearing off the bang stick but there's no promises there....which weapon would y'all use? crossbow or compound?

and yes bhg you will be one of the first to get a pic....you usually are.

Good luck, and I would use a compound.
