That was an amazing story. Just goes to show you. Never really knew quite what that meant, but I figured if there were ever a time I should use "just goes to show you," it was now.other1 said:Is this real? I'm not sure I believe a bow would kill a gator that big. There was a news story this week about a gator that is alive swimming around a pond in FL with a butchers knife stabbed into it's head down to the hilt.
I enjoy eating gator tail meat. As you would expect, it tastest like chicken.golfgar said:Do you only eat the tail meat and sell the skin?
I like tail.......
First, IMO, the above photo is a photoshop creation... but.... for the sake of argumentjaxstraww said:This gator was harvested no doubt on a private "farm".
I agree with you.jaxstraww said:Pretty big into hunting and fishing out this way. Of course we have no "gators" in Pa. Someone touched on it above. Until this year only individuals with disabilities got to use crossbows. Meaning if your crippled (in a wheelchair for instance) you could get pushed out in a camo wheelchair and sit pretty waiting for a deer to run your way in a field. Now a compound bow 20 feet in the air after you called in daddy buck is a feat. Not a point and click device. This gator was harvested no doubt on a private "farm". Here we can pay between a few hundred to a few thousand and hunt on "farms". Here they have animals released on fenced property and you go hunting. Ghey is what I say. No sport at all. I mean thats part of hunting. You against the prey. Just got back from Mexico. Saw a bullfight last wend. and I knew what to expect. But you had to feel for the bastard 20 minutes in after being piked and then speared three times prior to the matador even getting involved. I say let the bull in there fresh and see if he can do the deed with just his sword. You bleed it out to its half dead and then stab it? Expect me to clap? Your a fuggin coward. Well I'm thinking outside the box. There are a few out there saying well a high powered rifle against a buck is the same thing. I say no its not. You have an objective and its done. Killing something by torturing it for a bit or hunting it inside a fenced in yard is not the same as strapping up and going off to the hunting cabin. Harvesting cheapens the allure of "real" hunting. Going to the cabin, firing up some smokes with brews and exchanging stories. Anything less, well is not even worth writing about.
But, the movie had the hunted just running for their lives. Not sporting if you ask me.jaxstraww said:Did I see this movie?
I hear what your saying. I see our gator picture leading to a bigger debate. Where did I put my mouse eating popcorn picture.
So how does everyone feel when our tax dollars goes and feeds thousands of rapists and murderers?
LOL, yea, I'll have to go with the photoshop but for other reasoning.jaxstraww said:That looks as marshy as my back yard. Far from being the Keys or otherwise. Unless that big bastard walked up and said shoot me with an arrow I doubt you could even nail a wild gator with one. Hence I think it would have been in a private farm. Just conjecture but I'm not sure those are even waders or boots on the guy.
At the end of the day it may be a photoshop job. That thing would have to way over 1000 pounds and cherry picking it on a tree and not a crane would be a feat in itself.
LMAO! Matt, you are missing the point. Look at all the exquisite wallets, shoes and belts hanging in that tree. A dead gator is a thing of beauty.Matt R said:How friggin' hard is it to shoot an alligator with a bow?? I know these things are kinda fast, but one this big never had a chance against this guy. Is that what hunting is really about??![]()
