Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: 94Hardbody4x4 on May 10, 2007, 08:49:27 AM I do that every weekend. We go shoot as many gators in the canals as we can. Then leave them for dead.

Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: shirah86 on May 10, 2007, 04:10:59 PM its for sport and pop control but as far as being expensive the liscensce for 272.00 is the most you would probably invest
Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: ScooterB on May 10, 2007, 04:53:40 PM its for sport and pop control but as far as being expensive the liscensce for 272.00 is the most you would probably invest and a bang stick, rope, AIRBOAT, and of course big balls Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: JackL on May 10, 2007, 07:14:16 PM Is anybody on here gonna do it besides me?

Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: shirah86 on May 11, 2007, 12:03:51 PM oh and the 44 caliber bangstick would help
Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: JackL on May 11, 2007, 05:21:41 PM nah im in polk when it comes time yall can come with me and my buddys if yah want, all were gonna use is jon boats thats all u need Yeah, the bang stick is nice too. I wish we could bait em like they do elsewhere. They tell me if you hang a chicken about 7 feet over the canal you will get a 12', lower smaller, higher bigger. Hardest thing is not getting them to run away to the bottom.

Hardest thing is not getting them to run away to the bottom. you done this befor jack? Yes. I have some cool video and pics I will dig up. If any of you are thinking of doing this for the first time, pay a guide to take you. Get your license and go out with an experienced trapper. Lots are listed on the web. Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: shirah86 on May 11, 2007, 05:57:20 PM weve done it before me and my bro grew up knowing the best nuisance gator trapper in the state
Title: Re: Statewide Alligator Hunt Post by: JackL on May 12, 2007, 12:47:52 PM weve done it before me and my bro grew up knowing the best nuisance gator trapper in the state I hear ya, I just wanted to point out to the wannabe rambos around here that this isn't something you just decide to do on the spur of the moment, and go out there and give the hunt bad press with a tragedy. FWIW: It is pretty cheap to find some good trapper/guides in central Florida, and a good time is assured with minimum danger. |
