Loved the blood splatter on the lense of the camera at the beginning when he put one in the little gators head.
That last one, 12'2" 760lbs.....  Holy shit that thing was heavy. I wouldn't have thought them that heavy

I never would have imagined a ruger 10/22 to be a choice rifle for 800 lb gators. I guess I just don't know much about the sport

Enough at 5', and won't go through the boat when you have to finish off one that's "still alive." That was funny, "I think he's still alive!". "boom" right in the boat

Quoted: These guys suck at life! Why all the 22lr? Because it works. The skulls are not all that tough. And using anything larger can ruin the skin, the most valuable part of the gator. Most farm butchering jobs start with a .22 lr shot to the head, just like these gators. |

So which round for gators?
36 grain copper plated HP, or 40 grain lead solid? It's TV, which is meant for entertaining, which this does for me. |

I used to get 5 tags per year. A 22lr is big enough. You shoot them b/w the eyes, about an inch back. Doubleor triple tap would be best
. i started using an ar but quickly realized it was overkill.
One thing I did notice is that they didn't tape up some of the gators mouths when they brought them in the boat. We did. Their reflexes/ muscles can move for hours after they are dead, just like bullfrogs. They might just snap down if their mouth is open..... we didn't take that chance. We'd duct tape their mouths prior to bringing in the boat. It used to be good money, $30 per foot and then some if you'd skin them yourself. The alligator farms are what keeps the prices lower. We'd sell enough to make our money back from buying the licenses, bait and beer. and keep the rest. I've never had it in etoufee, but we'd fry it.

Man...I've got a Fleur De Lis tattoo on my right shoulder that's surrounded by "Lassez Les Bon Temps Roulet" ...LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL...and THAT is what being from that part of Louisiana is all about bud. Anyway...Chalmette/St. Bernard is my roots! My dad's from Chalmette, and my aunt, uncles, and grandmother are still down there. Katrina didn't run them out, and I doubt they'll ever leave. I was born in Lafayette, and grew up on 'da westbank dahlin' I grew up fishing all around Hopedale, Reggio, Delecroix, etc. One last thing...I don't care what they say...anything North of Opelousas...not the same. If you go to 'Da Parish' and don't go to Rocky and Carlos and get a dressed roast beef poboy, a side of baked macaroni and red gravy, and a barqs rootbeer...you've missed it! Hax |
