SC Alligator

[canopyboy]

Our own Benjy Epting generously offered to take me alligator hunting a few years ago, and the only catch was that I needed to draw a SC tag. He thought my chances were about 50% for first year, 80% by second year, and 100% by the third year. Naturally, I didn't draw until the fourth year.

But it all came together at about 6:15 am this last Saturday (9/16/17) in the Southern Coastal area of South Carolina

The full story is told in PowWow:

My alligator measured out at 7'-0" and weighed 65#. I used a Hill style bow of my own make that's 48# @ 29". The arrow, preordained "Lucky", was custom from my buddy Gary at D&M just for this trip and only the last 6" survived the annoyed alligator's incessant biting of anything nearby.

My thanks again to Benjy for his generosity and hospitality!
