Sounds like alot of fun. They are allowing gator hunts in AL this year as well but its a little more restrictive than FLA's as I understand it.

good call on going to FL, as I hear gator hunting in IL is pretty uneventful.

My buddys wife just took a big 11ft gator with her bow. She said it was a blast. They also got a 6ft meat gator.

This may sound kinda dumb, but being a Canadian ;I know little about Gators. Can some one here tell me what gator meat tastes like. I know the 1st response is going to be chicken

.

I have eaten snapping turtle before are they similar?
