Big SC Predator

My buddy and I drew two tags to SC's first gator season and on the first night killed two. One that was 10'2" and the other 9'8". Shot with a crossbow , pulled to the boat and shot with a pistol.

Thats cool Alphadog. I like the pic with the one on the table.

Thats craziness.
Looks interesting, but it's not for this snowbird.

are they two different species of gator?? one has alot wider snout!! the one on right is narrow like a croc!!

alphadog · March 14, 2010, 01:01:34 PM

One on the left (the one I killed) is a male and the one on the right is a female. That is a few things that are difference's in the sex of each.

I've eaten about everything but gator. Would love to try it some day. They sure to look big

I love smoked gator. My daughter has 20 lbs of gator tail in her freezer. We'll smoke half and BBQ the other half.
Actually, it's better than chicken!

Saw an archeology program about the Topper paleo site the other night and saw some gators in the river in the show. I didn't know you had them that far north until then. Now you up and show a couple from the first huntign season, so cool

That's very cool right there! Congrats

ThomasFields60 · March 15, 2010, 09:06:07 AM

Wow awesome kills!

JohnP · March 15, 2010, 10:59:16 AM

Congratulations to the both of you, extra special since it was the first hunt. Do you have any idea how many people applied for a tag and how many drawn? All that was missing from the picture of the gator on the table is a knife and fork
