Heres some pictures of our alligator hunt on lake marion last weekend. He was 6' 11" long and Alligator hunting is the hardest hunting you could do. The state has set up the hunt in order to "scare" the alligators to keep them away from people and pets and it is working for sure. Except for the little 1'-2' babies that were born this year they wont let you get much closer than 15 yards and if they are longer than 7' good luck getting within 50 yards of him. We got on a few but this was one of the bigger ones that we had a shot on. We got on one maybe 8-9 feet long and shot him with a grapple point with a broadhead on the end of it and it didnt stick in him. reeled the arrow in and the blades had been ripped off the broadhead. I figure I hit him in the skull and it just didnt penetrate. We got on this one right after that around 3:30 am saturday morning and after about 2 hours had everything squared away and back to the landing. It took 2 shots with a .22 magnum to kill him (or so we thought) and twenty minutes later he found some strength and decided to give it one last try to get away from us. Luckily we had him taped up and we held his head over the side and gave him one last shot with a S&W .40. The little guy in the pictures i reached down and grabbed as we were going up the bank we probably saw 25-30 of those little guys.
