Funny how things work out...
« on: May 30, 2011, 09:20:49 AM »
I got a phone call from a friend of mine back on Saturday morning of Mother's Day weekend. Stump just happens to head the alligator program for the State of Mississippi. All his cohorts were out of pocket when this little fellow slipped into a fellows pond and he needed a little help handling him. He was only 8 feet long, but it was a lot of fun.



Well, I posted this pic on my facebook page for some friends of mine out west who don't get to see gators much and we got to joking around. One thing led to another and this has turned into an offer for a resident-guided elk hunt on private land in Utah!

I think I owe Stump lunch! *cool*

Ken has anyone told you you are crazy  *peep*

If you ever want to hear some great alligator hunting stories... ole barefoot is the man.  After watching Swamp People I got really interested in gator hunting and Morgan told me that Barefoot was a gator hunting fool.  I think I spent a couple of hours on the phone and he is ate up with it!!!

That is a nice 8 footer there.  Something I wouldn't want to mess with!!!
