Another 1/2 dozen

T-dog, that’s a good idea…a treble hook with the barbs grounded off…
Most of the places we hunt do not allow pistols but we can carry and use one shotgun…

About a month ago before the rains came I was heading towards the dogs while on a hunt…I came up to a crossing and in the canal next to the culvert was a 12 ft gator…one of my buddies dogs came up and was drinking water next to this gator…with all the whooping and hollering the dog comes out and the gator never moves…I am thinking the upper 50 degree night immobilized the gator…it got me to thinking I should start carrying one of my pistols in my 4 wheeler pack and only use it in emergencies…if needed I can show my license to carry to the game warden and ask for forgiveness…not for using to kill gators but to just scare them off…

A big toothy boar in the cold water on a cold day will probably get some lead poison if the opportunity arises…
