Spent the last 2 weekends building a 8'x30" deck. I have a private boat slip for my Ranger now, so I don't have to fight the holiday, and weekend crowds at the Ramp.

Love it. A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

He thought it was one of those huge catfish that he's always bringing home. Whe the dang thing started climbing in the boat with him, the only weapons he had were a 16" piece of re-bar and a short-handled sledge hammer. He drove the rebar down through the top of it's head. It was enormous! He had one of those real large beer coolers. When he told me to come see what he had in his truck bed, I was expecting more catfish. He opened that cooler, and the gator's head was in it. The head was massive. The feet were about 6" across! He said it measured 16 1/2 feet long. It was humongous! I know I would not even think about swimming there, but he said many do. He was acting in self-defence when he killed that thing, because it sure could have done him in, and he is one mean mutha! He's a typical hill-billy...he wouldn't appear to be very smart at first glance, but he can out-hunt, out-fish, and out-shoot most people that I know. He looks like a wild mountain man, and that's cause he is! We catch a lot of trout together.
