Hello all .... Hey Anne & I had a great time down south, I hunted Alligators on Lake Seminole, ... at the GA, AL, & FL border. If you want to hunt gators .... give me a call or drop me a note. I'm putting together the details ... but soon to come ...
 
GATOR HUNT'N ... from TheLodgeman.com
 
Now, ... on to the photos ...
Here is the view ... heading out to Lake Seminole
 
See the float I'm holding , ... Phil Walters has his slogan .... read what the float states below ...
Here's what I went down to Lake Seminole for ... WOW ... a 10 Foot Gator.
Now, ... here's the deal, ... and I ain't pulling your leg. Riding in a Boat with Randy Pounds as the boatman , ... we eased up along side of the gator , ... and using a Harpoon from Phil Walters of GATORGUIDES.COM & the Ratworks Gear .... on my very first attempt , ... my first ever throw at a gator ... I landed a shot in his shoulder. See the bottom photo on the left, ... you can see the cut above the front leg. That successful hit , ... anchored a dart under the skin with 50 foot of rope and the float. We then .... after a little time , ... brought him up to the surface, and I popped another harpoon throw and embedded another dart and line.
 
Once he was secured with two restraining ropes , ... Capt. Phil took the snag hook and grabbed the gator by the lower jaw while I taped his jaws shut. We then pulled the gator on board and I applied the death cut to the back of the head.
 
The last photo , ... on the bottom right , ... Capt. Phil & TheLodgeman sit down for a little rest from all the fun. And , .... FUN it was.
 
Here's a few more photos to enjoy ....

And a big thanks goes out to Steve Deibler, David Simmons, Randy Pounds, and Capt. Phil Walters. Without them , ... The Lodgeman couldn't had such a wonerful time. Thank you guys, ... I hope to join up again in the future.
