If he was using a .22 like the others, then I would have no worries about shooting a gator in the boat....especially if it was a 12 footer that was still kicking on the bottom of my boat. shocked

A pea sized hole leaking water would be the last thing I'd be worrying about. smile

Maybe they like the extra distance the rifle gives them, it would be safer sticking the rifle barrel down to the gaters head than a handgun.

That does make sense. A little extra distance is good.

I think why they do that is because handguns are illegal to take game in a wma in Louisiana though.

I would have no problem slapping one of those on the head with my 357 though. I bet if it was legal to use handguns that would be choice cause it takes up less room and would be quicker on the draw. Even a .22 handgun would be better in a boat.

The Guy who give his dog little Debbie's uses a 12ga so I don't think its a huge deal to put a little bigger hole in them.

The guy with the cake eating dog is the one that could use a pistol. That looks like a tough job hunting by himself.

Holding a line that has a 10ft gator on the end of it with one hand and shooting a rifle or shotgun with the other hand just doesn't look all that safe to me! eek

Yeah, it's definitely something different and I've been DVR'ing it every week. When those gators are up on the bank and they get out of the boat to chase them down it'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little bit!

grinlol...he got bit by a small gator on 3-4 of his fingers and I thought he was gonna have a baby? Screaming like all get out for his daddy! I bet them swamp girls look at him a little differently now!

It probably hurt, I have no doubt, but no worse then getting bit by a big pike or muskie? I seen my brother get bit on 4 of his fingers by about a 10 pound pike and he didn't scream? He swore some and let out a couple of "Ow, ow's" when I was taking apart the pikes head with a pair of pliers, but he didn't scream bloody murder?

Same with my son, about an 8 pounder latched onto his hand when he let his gaurd down and he didn't scream? Grimaced while I took the pikes head apart, they just won't let go.

When I was a kid, I seen a friends dad reach into an ice hole on Mille Lac and haul out a huge 20 pound pike that broke off at the top of the hole, with his bare hand...again, some "ow, ow's" but no screaming.

In all three instances, there was lots of blood though, lots of it!

Those gator hunters are something else! I wouldn't do some of the chit they do, thats for sure and I would make sure the gun/s was loaded at all times. I would also have a loaded side arm and a good sharp knife on my belt!

We used to trap and sell snapping turtles years ago and them things are mucho stinky.... but I bet a boat load of gators in the hot sun would have most people splashing the hash!

It would be an experience to do that no doubt....it would be hard to get excited about a 5 pound walleye after catching something like that!

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
