Post by: SCtrkyhntr on March 22, 2011, 01:59:56 PM

Got to pull the trigger on the first longbeard of my 2011 season yesterday. I battled with this ol boy for 3 hours and moved about 6 times before we finally agreed on a place to meet. I had an encounter with an 8 ft gator on one of my moves that made the hunt even more interesting.

Congrats!

I guess we have a few critters that some folks worry about here in CO, but gators aren't one of them.

I would have gave you 2 thumbs up if there would have been a gator next to the bird. I would have let the bird live after a gator sighting. Up here in TN, the closest thing we have to a gator is a lizard and I'm not to fond of those either.

Well done! In VA we have a earn a buck program during deer season, does SC have a earn a gator program now that you have killed a mature gobbler?

Nice going there Dusty. I know how you must of felt having to deal with those gators. I dealt with them on a turkey hunt in Louisiana once and it gave me the heebe jeebies.
