Stunning

23 Gators In One Night!

 

                                         Massive 600 lb. gator pulled from Alabama Waters

                                                                                     

These photos were from the most recent State of Alabama Department of Fish and Game's sanctioned alligator hunts that took place this past week. There is a registration period that opens up and prospective hunters may register. After registration closes, applicants are selected by lottery at a later date. The hunts are at night and closely monitored by the F&G officers. My son has done this a couple of times and he and his "team" caught large gators during both hunts.

Nothing To See Here... Rated G.

Morning Tranquility

 Thanks for all the comments.  I just need to regroup. 

This site will stay and I’ll post when the mood hits.  

I have set up a Wordpress at Hostinger.  That’s where the images link.  

I’m just not ready to start to fuck around with learning a new dashboard.  Not that I won’t, there is just to much else going on and it’s all good being busy. 

Meanwhile, my morning view.  The sun feels warm on my face and there is a slight breeze.   Extremely quiet.   Soon the descent and morning coffee.  

Well kids. I tried. It was good while it lasted.

 I actually worked hard on this one.

They are Crawling

 

A  friend and fellow turkey hunter I know killed these two monsters Tuesday the 19th. He said they  were fighting inside his barn. He heard a ruckus, went to check it out, and found them going at it pretty good. He lives about 5 miles from me. Another buddy who logs for a living, killed a big one last week too about ten miles from where I live. I have yet to see a venomous snake this year and it is not because I am not out of doors. I am this way about snakes. If I can see one, they don't worry me too much, but when I amble up on one, there is a heart-a-stroke in the making!

Barn Snakes

Logwoods snake

PS: As I was trying to think of a title for the post, this song came to mind. Of course, they crawl in the daytime too.

The Widow Maker...

  

During a hike yesterday, I crested a short rise and was greeted with this.

 

  Sorry, no banana for reference, so the picture doesn't capture the true size of this.

Rough guess is the bottom of that trunk is 10-12 feet above the ground.

The trail passes directly under it.

I paused, listened for minute, then passed under it sticking to the side with 

the larger tree.

The picture is taken showing the direction from which I had travelled.

No sign of Arnold or the Predator.

It's obviously been there a while but sooner or later gravity will change that.
