Two weeks ago our archery club had the last shoot of the season and had a big raffle. Dina won the big prize; a Gator hunt with a pro gator hunter. This Friday night she is going hunting with him in the St. John's river between Green Cove Springs and Palatka.  
He told her to practice out to about 10 yards so she has been shooting a 55 pound Zipper recurve with a reel and a 1500 grain solid glass fish arrow. She can hit a coffee cup 10 out of 10 times out to the distance so I think see is ready. We are nit sure what arrow the gator guy uses; he slides an alum. shaft over a carbon shaft and fills it full of sand so it should be close to what she has been shooting.
I am going along to take pics and to make sure the gators behave them selves and If she shoots one I will post some pics. Tom

Good luck ! and i hope to see some pics !!

Well I see Tom let the Gator outta the bag.  
Thanks for all the well wishes!  When I went to get my helper permit...the fella said...I am required to ask you this, "Have you ever been convicted of a croc-a-dillian crime and if so...were you intoxicated or on drugs at the time?"  Let me tell a total hush fell over the whole tag agency...till I burst out laughing!!!!  Not sure what a croc-a-dillian crime is...sounds sort of kinky.

Well I am looking forward to the hunt!!!    

Say a prayer...I don't fall in!

Best of luck to the both of you!

You huntin gators or coffee cups?      

Best of luck Dina. See if you can get one bigger than that MArk Land fella    

good luck that would be alot of fun I do believe .  

Well a croc-a-dillian crime is about to happen.  I've seen Dina shoot and I'd say the gator is in for a bad night.  LOL

Good Luck!!

I've gotta do that next year.

Mike

The trick is to set the coffee cup on the gator's head without him knowing...   :eek:  

Best of luck to you two.  Aint like you haven't done it before!!!
