I just got back from hanging out with Dive2125 at his house in Florida,, and we had a blast! It is Alligator season, and we went after them. Dive2125 is a veteran gator hunter, but I have never done anything like that before. The first gator we caught up with was a 7 footer.

We saw a couple that were much bigger. One in particular really had us fired up. Two days later we got him.

Dive2125 enters the Big Gator Shoot Out every year, so we took him to be officially measured. He taped out at 11 feet and 9 inches. A real dinosaur. At the time of the post, he is currently in first place.

If you look at this next picture you will see he is missing most of his hind leg. This is an injury from a larger gator. Dive2125 just might get a larger one when he goes back down to Florida in October.
