This is why you don't swim in lakes in florida

Here is a mount that did well at the WI state show. Took a first place, mounted by David at the shop. This is Jay's alligator that he took with the bow.

I like it a lot.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

I was down at the shop looking at this mount up close and it is really impressive. Jays hunt story did not sound to shabby either. All bow, no meat hooks, and no guns or bang sticks... If you have ever looked into alligator hunting you know most guys who kill one with there "bow" usually kill ones that are caught on a set line or finished with a bullet.

Looks cool! But I think I'd be scared of that mount, I hate reptiles.:oops:

Very cool mount. At 9'6" that base must be huge.
It's not the knowing that's difficult, but the doing.
