    Anyone ever heard of people taking these gators down by Wilmington? Can you hunt (bow, gun, whatever) them down there? Just curious... :)

    You can try if you want to, but its illegal!! The people take it real serious down here too, friend of mine took a photo with a dead one in the marsh and left it there but posted the photos on his website and they called and interrogated him on the phone for quite a while. You can go to SC and do it though.

    I don't want to if it is illegal. I want to though. I was just checking, because I didn't see it in the regs book. Thought I might have missed it.

    I do want some gator though... I'm on this new thing to see how many different things I can get my wife to try. (hence one of my past threads) :) lol. She liked duck and squirrel. That's all I've gotten so far though. I'm working on wild turkey. She thought I meant the alcohol though. lol...

    You will have to head over to SC or GA for that....GA you are looking at 3-4 years to realistically draw your tag as well. For gauranteed tags head down to FLA and fork over the dough.

    I'm on year 3 in GA and we have right at a 50% chance this year of drawing.
