Title: 9 ft gator killed with self bow
Post by: wsimmons on March 12, 2016, 10:00:28 pm

Took this gator with an Osage self bow I made (60 lbs.) with POC arrows, finished and fletched myself. Beast taken in the LA swamps not far from where I was raised.

Awesome man. Hell of a first post. I'd sure like more pics of your bow. Looks nice. How long you been building?

Nice!  We're a little short on gators here in Ohio, but I bet that's a fun hunt.

I'd love the experience.  Where do you shoot em? In the head? How do you track and recover them?

Nice ditch lizard. I wish we could hunt them in the day light.
