Gator hunt

[Mike Smith]

First of all sorry its been a while got slammed with a lot all at one time. We just got back from gator hunting and things went real well My youngest daughter got her first gator it was a seven footer.We got three others one was another seven and the other two were ten footers and man it was awesome. One of the big tens when we rolled him in the boat he bit the front deck, so we hauled but back to the boat ramp with him latched on to it( the deck). When we got there my brother in law Paul kicked his jaw off the deck and he rolled over on his feet and stood up and opened his eyes. Larry ( Mr. Weeks ) grabbed the bang stick and nailed him right there in the boat (38 caliber) then it jammed, So he's like mike go get your pistol (bang sticks are the only fire arms allowed in the boat ) before I could get to the truck I here the band stick go off again.So I ran back to the boat ramp the gator is climbing out the back of the boat when Larry hit him with the bang stick again. We finally get some control of this big boy (he was about 350 or so maybe bigger) and get him to the processor, after we woke up the whole camp. We were the only ones in camp to harvest the first night and finish our tags on the second a seven and a ten each night. Guys it was awesome there were a lot of cool folks in camp and we all had a blast getting to know each other and telling stories and even had a few cold snacks.The big 10 turned out to be an 11 the processor called later and told us.

So, what yall been up too ?( just kidding)

Talk to you soon Mike
