redkneck Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I get to take 2 gators this fall, and my best friend got two tags also in a different zone, so hopefully we'll be packing the freezer with lizards in August! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 That's cool John. Congrats on getting drawn. You gonna go after them with the bow? Good luck. Remember some absolute monsters in Florida, sure don't miss those nasty critters although there have been some make their way this far north with the warmer climate cycle.

redkneck Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Well from everything I've heard from folks your success rate is just much better with a rod and reel. I'll have 2-3 guys in the boat with treble hooks. You can only shoot them once you have them completely up next to the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailfreak55 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Good luck and congrats! I'd like to get one. I love gator meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 gator is pretty good... tastes like dark meat chicken I think. I want to go on a trophy gator (9+ feet) hunt some day. parent's have a house down in FL now so maybe when i'm down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Are you going to get boots made out of the hide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Gator is some good eatin. We've got some big ones down in Steinhagen Lake but there's too many do's and don'ts involved with hunting them. Good luck John Boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smha6784 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Finally drew gator tags! Gator meat is some good eatin, and it sure is exciting hunting em my buddy has 6 tags I go with him and his pops every year, gotta get em out the duck ponds so the dogs don't turn into lunch during teal season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 it's got to be at least every bit as fun as deer season. only difference being the deer isn't circling your stand, hoping you fall out. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
