Title: Lizard down!!! Post by: Mike on June 07, 2020, 08:50:06 pm Well, the gator that broke me off last year and pulled the hook a couple weeks back met his maker today. Ol Chris Hearne sent some lead thru his head this morning. He was 10’1” and had a big ol head on him...

Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: Hollowpoint on June 08, 2020, 07:48:49 am Can I get a pair of boots out him, or at least a wallet? Thanks in advance.

Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: make-em-squeel on June 08, 2020, 04:25:56 pm Did you shoot it after it was on a line or stalking it like you would a deer?
Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: Mike on June 09, 2020, 06:22:19 pm Yes sir... caught on hook and line, then shot. Chris’s wife Heather cut and vacuum sealed gator meat all day yesterday haha.

Wish they would allow more to be harvested. They are way over populated. X2 on great job... Cajun...you are right on the gator over population...once a gator gets a certain size it doesn’t have natural predators other than other gators... So we have dumba$$es wanting to protect them but they have gone overboard with it...I bet they eat all kinds of wildlife including baby ducks and other waterfowl...they need to increase the number of gators taken per year... When I was growing up we swam in many areas in the rivers near by as well as lakes In the surrounding area and never thought about gators...no one swims those places anymore on account of the many gators... Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: Rough curs on June 10, 2020, 09:45:28 am Sure glad we ain't got those here...good job looks way bigger than 10' . How do you measure them lizards?
Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: Mike on June 10, 2020, 10:16:08 am We just measure them from the tip of their snout to the tip of their tail with a tape measure.
He sure had the head of a bigger gator... I was thinking 11’ - 12’ on him. Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: t-dog on June 10, 2020, 03:20:17 pm Mike I have some friends like that, their head is just too big for their body!

Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: Rough curs on June 11, 2020, 09:46:57 am Lol I don't know, it looks like Chris is only 5 'tall.
Title: Re: Lizard down!!! Post by: Mike on June 11, 2020, 09:56:29 am Heck... they may have read the tape wrong hahaha! Looks like a foot of tail is still on the ground in that hanging pic.
