What an amazing experience it is to share some time with 3 generations of Langers as dad Bill and grandpa Dick introduce Billy to big time out of state hunting for a Florida alligator.  They put in considerable time and effort in preparing Billy for the moment of truth.  Billy inherited the Langer lethality and took a very nice alligator with his first shot ever at a big game animal. He had nerves of steel and his preparation paid off as he went into auto mode and made a great shot. This hunt was in conjunction with the free alligator hunt I gave away as part of the PBS membership drive last year. The winner was first up and took a good solid gator before Billy was up on deck. It took Billy about 10 minutes of deck time to score.

The pride of dad and grandpa was inspiring to see. Like the passing along of a family heirloom the torch has been passed to another generation of Langers. Billy is a wonderful young man with great manners and obvious signs of a loving family. This young man will be successful at whatever he chooses to pursue and with the family support he is blessed with will certainly be someone we'll be hearing about again.

Congratulations to Billy, Bill, and grandpa Dick on keeping the tradition that we all love alive and well.

Now that the main priority of getting Billy a gator we will be back at it tonight to try to fill tags for Bill and Dick... Keep tuned in for more updates.
