What kind of spool and line did you use to reel him in? Just kidding, but don't those things have a brain the size of a tennis ball and if you don't brainkill them they go far and deep and are tough to recover? Any video to show? Gator I had in Oz was like a chewy (you guessed it) chicken. I could see a freezer stocked with gator, figure out how to prep/cook it to cut down on the chaw factor.
Bet you paid for the hunt with the $$ for the skin eh? Some doll in NYC thanks you ahead for her handbag or shoes or whatever.

Arrow has float do you know where he goes. Harpoon with a rope fight him and finish with regular arrow.

I didn't realize people hunted them from ground blinds. That looks and sounds very exciting! I always thought of gator hunting as some redneck deal in a boat or something like that... What you guys are doing sounds like a blast.
Nice gators! Pretty close shots?

Congrats Forest and Tim!!
We need some stats! Size/length? Weight? Age guess? Percent of meat that comes off one?

I like the ground blind idea!! That would be a blast sticking one of those at 8 yards.
Congrats to both of you!

Here comes a guess it's score (size) entry - 14 feet HUGE! What's P&Y base the record on - skull size? Looks like a book gator to me. More where this one came from too. Seems like a gator score should be based on overall length fresh.

How do you get the shot? Do they bait them up onto shore?

Cool stuff ... congratulations

I understand that the accepted method of killing these reptiles is to put an arrow through their lungs, and then follow the float....and I am guessing that they want you to use a barbed arrow, so it can't pull out.
In your opinion, if you had a pretty high energy set up and were shooting heavy arrows with a heavy two bladed broadhead, could you kill them with a brain shot? I understand that the target is small....I am just asking, could an arrow get through that thick skull of theirs?

That is excellent. Any video of that. WOW!

williamtell: Pope & Young Record book is for North America's 29 huntable animal species and gators are not included.
I'll bet SCI has a category for these beasts.
