Deppity, you wouldn’t believe how many times I hear that. I remember the first time I went to Ohio to deer hunt with my soon to become, lifetime hunting partner. I went up a few days before season and we ran around running errands, plus preparing for the hunt. I couldn’t tell you how many times we’d be driving and he’d hit the brakes and holler “DEER”. I’d see him looking out across a field and I wouldn’t see a danged thing! He’d describe where they are and I’d eventually spot them. Without him, I’d have returned home saying I’ve never seen a deer up there.
I’ve known people who’ve lived here all their lives and have never seen a gator in the wild, but I could tell them I could take them on a 5-min walk and could almost guarantee to find one for them. Like the lady and her son yesterday, they had a gator 2-feet from their toes and had no clue. I go by the belief, if there’s water anywhere here, there’s likely a gator in it … even a drainage ditch or retention pond. When I drive anywhere near a lake, I have one eye on the road and the other on the lake. I never tire of seeing them.
This guy today is a good 7-footer, possibly 8 … pretty average. Here I am scratching her (acts like a female) neck! (Yeah, my finger is as big as the gator in this pic!)
