2006 Bowhunt For Florida Alligator

Day 3 - Lets Scout The Lake, First ...

This afternoon we met Daman Sharp and scouted the lake in his skiff. 

This is what our gator hunting lake looks like in the daylight. It looks a lot different looking than now than it does at gator hunting night time.

We didn't see any gators until it was late in the day. Here is the first one we saw, he just swam out of the water plants and is cruising along parallel to the shoreline.

Another gator heads into open water.

We saw 37 gators as we cruised around. Daylight faded and the sun set on our lake.

Daman returned to the boat dock and before long David Mills arrived with "Cadillac Style". Daman backed it into the water and in short order we were ready to go.

And we were off to hunt gators. In the pic below: starting on the left that's Daman Sharp, David Mills (in the Captain Chair), and Kevin Sullivan showing us his AMS bowfishing rig and Gator Grapple head.

We saw alligator eyes right away. We couldn't know it, of course, but we were going to have a substantial adventure tonight. And something was going to happen to me that is one of those things that just can't happen.

NEXT: Gators, and more gators ...

We are bowhunting alligators with David Mills of Zolfo Springs, Florida in south Central Florida's big alligator country and the Osceola wild turkey. To contact David Mills about Alligator hunts, phone 1-863-990-9087.
