The story of the gator begins with a good coonhound.When I was a teenager an old man sold me a good coondog named Ike.Word got around about Ike.A man from south of me wanted to hunt against him.Old ike outhunted his dog.The man tried to buy old ike.I told him no.We became friends.He told me his brother was a nuisance gator man in south Florida and would be willing to let us help him.Me and my father quickly went to Florida.The man taught us how to leg wild hogs and how to wrestle adolescent gators.The man in Florida liked us so he told us he would put in for tags to harvest a trophy gator.The next September we went down.My father shot him with bow attached to string.We tugged on the string and the gator came right to us.I hit him with a harpoon attached to rope with ball on end like on movie jaws.the dinosaur left out.we chased the ball down.Fought him in.Shot him point blank with 22 mag pistol. 12 foot 4 inches Estimated to be at least 90 years old. It still amazes me how one good dog can open up other avenues for you. Rest in Peace Ike 7 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
