    Or something like that…

    Nice photos taken by a Texas Forest Service guy on an assignment at the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina. Looks to be about a 12 footer. Taken from a helicopter.

    Did the gator give it mouth to mouth once it got to shore?

    Nice pics! Not to often you see something like that!

    Your subject title was perfect. I laughed out loud when I first saw the picture. Good one.

    That is a big gator! However…… what’s really intimidating to me is I’ve swam in gator habitat and you never know what’s under you! YIKES! More intimidating yet…… is the fact that they get a LOT bigger than this one! This one doesn’t look like it can take the deer whole. The real grandaddies can! You know….. the one’s that actually come on shore during the night and take cows!!!

    Those are really cool pics….. and they scare the bajeebees out of me!!!

    I had nothing to do with this. See how rumors can give someone a bad rep???

    I swear that before I opened the this I was expecting to see our Gator Hunter in the water with a deer!
    I guess that kinda gator works just as well.

    That’s my baby, Cuddles, I have her trained so well, I no longer have to deer hunt… she just brings ’em home. Now if I could get her to observe QDM and Antler restrictions.

    I think maybe Cuddles needs a bell around her neck so the rest of us can hear her coming!

    Good thinking, Rairoader. Could you bring Cuddles up here during mink trapping season? But I suppose the 35 degree water may slow her down a little.
