Florida gator/Hog hunt

Just got back from a southwest Florida gator and hog hunt. Tons of fun, didn’t get a hog, only tiny little ones came in and I passed on them. Went out night hunting with thermal imaging, that was very cool, several buddies got pigs that way.
I did get a gator though. Just under 7’, nothing huge but a great time.

Congrats on a what looked to be a fun hunt.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.

We didn’t really hunt them per say, it was more of fishing for them. We had large fishing poles with huge treble hooks and 3-4 ounce weights attached and we cast and snagged them. When you got a gator you liked, then it was your choice on how to dispatch them. Some people shot them with a pistol, other’s a large fixedblade knife or a spear. I choose a spear.
Pretty sure I would not go after something that can eat me with just a spear. there would be a firearm with a caliber that starts with at least .4 with me.
Interesting methods, though

A good gator huntet has two hands, two feet, and all their fingers and toes:uhm::tooth:
nicely done.
You gonna do anything with the skull or hide?
Hide is getting tanned then probably going to use the belly for a holster and boots, the back of the gator will go on my wall.
