Recap of the last 4 days. What a blast with some very fun people. Taylor and Dusty (Carlos) with Gator quest were a blast and put on a great show! The gators did not come easy. The first day we started hunting at 7 AM and did not get back to the hotel till 4 AM with no gators harvested. We saw tons but could not get on the ones we wanted. We sat through many rain storms on the big buggy and ran up and down, rivers on side-by-side and feet. We had one of them take the line that bit through the rope and we ran into a few poisonous snakes as well but all in all was a great first day with a lot of laughs. Day two we woke up a couple hours later to horrible thunderstorms, and those guys told us to hang out. They would go set lines. By the time we got there we had a big 9 foot five gator on the line and Ryan also known as matt to the guides because they couldn’t remember his name ended up fighting it on a rope and was able to harvest a beautiful gator. And then shortly later Brandon got a 9 foot 10 gator. We went back and got them cleaned up and went out on a thermal hog hunt where we shot a lot of times and put a little dent on the Florida population of hogs. More thunderstorm rolled in right before we called it quits and had to take shelter in a barn. A hunt that I will never forget.  I was not looking to harvest the gator, but to have fun with hogs and these guys did everything and more to make this hunt the best. If anybody’s looking for a great time, let me know and I’ll get you in touch with them. They make it fun every way possible and it seems like everybody leaves with a nickname and I don’t know how but they ended up naming me the albino manatee. Which is now a living legend in southern Florida lol
