Night one over... No kill. Lots of people out though. The gators were definitely feeling pressured. Try again tonight. Did have a chance at one... But held out for a bigger one...

Saaaweeeeet!!!!!! Now we need to get together and have a lizard fry!! I cube it up soak it in Italian dressing and Dales over night, roll it in House Autrys "hot" seafood breader and swim it in hot grease till it floats and chase it with an ice cold adult beverage. Deeeeeelicious!!

Almost anything would taste good prepared like that. If it needs that much seasoning why even eat it?
 
It would be a lot cooler if you actually fought the gator to make it a bit more even.
Yeah hamburgers are a lot cooler when people wrestle cows too....

having never killed my own gator, I only get the cuts my buddies don't want (some buddies huh??) so It may be jaw meat or rib meat or even asshole, who knows its just a bucket of fat and meat that I go through and separate and cube to freeze. I don't know if i have to cook it like I do but I like having people that "don't eat that mess" fighting over the last piece.

Gator meat is good with just a lil breading and some old bay seasoning. I've never butchered one, but all the meat is about the same as far as taste. The really good stuff comes from around the jowls. Taste the same but very tender. My favorite is grilled or in a gumbo w gator sausage and fresh shrimp......
 
Congrates on the success, sounds like you guys worked hard just to find the beasts.

Thank You! We did! They were pressured hard in the area I drew (middle coastal), and I pulled my shoulder on the second night making drawing my bow damn near impossible. I frigging wiffed on a 12+ that I'm still kicking myself over. We named him "Bubbles" b/c he stuck around and postured the whole time I was resetting. I got him geo tagged though in hopes he's still there next tag I get.....
 
Take care to heal that shoulder and strengthen it, they can be injured and ruined for bow drawing forever and it's happened to several of my friends. I'm sure it was exciting/satisfying to take those 2 and It sounds like Bubbles was mocking you after your miss ?? :lol: that's why they call it hunting or fishing and not going and getting ;)

yeah I had messed it up a few years back at work, I havent pulled anything but my bowfishing bow since (same bow just turned way down to 35#'s) Think I'm done with bows for hunting. Lookin into a crossbow.... Yep he was an old gator he'd been hunted before
