Starter Gator
Uploaded: January 18, 2013
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 ....
