OK then !! This fellow is about 18 inches long and probably 2 years old . He was sunning himself on the boat ramp at Grassy Waters a Water Catchment area in Western Palm Beach County.
Want to thank all of you for your concerns over my safety when shooting Gators. Believe me when I say I am VERY CAREFUL & ending up as Gator Lunch is THE ABSOLUTE LAST WAY I WANT TO LEAVE THIS LIFE. Then again the way I do want to go would only land me in Hell ANYWAY ;O) !!
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND ....

Jack Gaskin

  Well, if you should end up in hell, rest assured you would not be alone.
That gator isn't big enough to swallow you anyway.

  Great pov and capture Jack!

I hope you are enjoying sunny, warm Florida! It hasnt been too bad up here yet! But next week will be a different story. High only in the mid 20s. But we are leaving for a 12 day cruise to the Carribean. Leaving out of New York on the Norwegian Jewel so I will be basking in the sunshine and warmth too, I hope!

  These creatures are amazing to me and love to see all the shows on tv about them. You are doing some incredible work with the pictures of them and I enjoy that. But I got such a kick out of reading your description. That is to funny Jack. Have a great weekend.
