Who killed a gator this weekend? THIS GIRL DID!
DW graciously allowed me to join the gator hunt this year. (Kidding, he had to since I had the DNR tag). We ventured off to Santee for a couple of days, and his parents kept the girls for us. Probably for the last time, too :-) It was a lot of fun - definitely exciting. I was hoping to get a bigger gator, but I'm glad I was able to get one. This one measured 8 feet, 3 inches. So, DW still has me beat. We snagged the gator and I was able to shoot it. With 1 shot. Yep, I'm awesome. LOL!
And here she is! Yes, it's a female. Just ask our friend, Kenny :-)
And in all my excitement, I put the wrong tag on the gator. DW told me to grab the tag out of the envelope. So I grabbed the first one I saw (since I only had 1 gator tag and we were alligator hunting. Who would have thought there'd be 2 tags in that same envelope. . . But I digress). Turns out the orange tag was his trot line tag. Luckily, DW realized my mistake soon after we "tagged" the gator the first time.

I can not say I share your joy and excitement. :) I am just glad I did not know you TOO were out there hunting aligators...what one does not know about does not have to worry. Just be safe and tell me afterwards (always) Love you.
