Chicken...

Gator hunting is more like fishing. Swamp people makes it overly dramatic. I used to work with a guy that had tags south of Houma, LA. Bigger gators have more inches of skin and more meat to sell. The meat does taste like chicken some of it is fishy tasting. They do cut the cable on undersized gators and let the hook rust out. The guy I knew made close to 20,000 in 2 weeks. But you have to own land or lease it to get tags where he did it.
He used blackbirds for bait and the bait is put above the water. To target bigger gators you hang the bait higher out of reach of small gators.

I guess that my thought was that after being dragged in, thrashing and twisting, a hook in the gut might pretty much kill the gator. I always wonder this when I cut the line on a fish and leave the hook and there is much more violence involved with bringing the gator to boat.

I never understood the producers of the show showing the guys shooting high powered rifles across the water at gators 50-60-100 yds away. Wasn’t that like one of the top 5 things not to do back in Hunter safety courses? And obviously not illegal in Louisiana.

I wondered about that shooting in open water at a small target like a gator's head. I wonder how many they wound and lose. Just another faked BS "Reality" show.

Thats about the way I remember it. I got in trouble for shooting at turtle heads in a pond a couple of times. Looks really dangerous to me.

The real question about Swamp People is how big are Ashley’s tits? On the show they’re huge!

Big enuff, I guesstimate....

Taste bout like owl!

I remember reading about a woman who was driving in, I think, New York. Her car coasted to a stop and she was found dead. Autopsy revealed a small wound in the hair at the back of her head. Turned out to be a bullet. Her rear, driver's side window was down. Some genius shot at a shark with a .303 Brit. The bullet had glanced off the water, went through the open window, and entered her head.

I'd like to know how 1 or 2 people can roll a 400 pounder in the boat, the host of the show needs to be canned.

‘Cause I’ve eaten them bastids before. Lightly dusted with cornmeal. Texture is about like chicken, flavor is very mild.

I prefer deer, pork, bunnies, or quail.

That’s life in the swamps.

If you moved down this way you would know.

I would hit that. Just saying............

Ditto, she's Fine. (had to go back and make the S in "she's" small and the F in "Fine" large)

Met that big dude at a sportmans show.

Just in passin by their booth. seems like a nice guy.

Bruce also…

A hard working, down home girl? Heck yes!

California. Beer can. Readers Digest.

Dude, it’s an alligator. That’s not gonna end well.

Once you get the head in the rest will follow. That was a big gator in the video. The picture is of the same gator. I wear a size 15 boot.










I put all of these in the boat with my 120 pound wife helping.
