I just finished applying for a Georgia gator tag. I have a guy who will take me and my son if we get drawn. He did say that we most likely won't get a tag this year but with one preference point we should get drawn next year. I went to the Georgia DNR site and got some good info on their gator hunts. One thing that's interesting is that you have to capture the gator before you can shoot it and it can only be shot with a bang stick or handgun. Has anyone here ever done a gator hunt or know of someone who has?

So if you get chewed up by a gator.... does that gain you preference points for revenge the next season? I would hope so!!!

LEGAL METHODS: Hunters may use hand-held ropes or snares, snatch hooks, harpoons, gigs or arrows with a restraining line attached. Legal alligators must be dispatched immediately upon capture by using a handgun or bangstick, or by severing the spinal cord with a sharp implement.
Now my son and I were discussing the method of capture for killing one of these critters and I told him I'll let him catch mine and when he gets it close to the boat I'll shoot it. That will give him twice the excitement, catching his and mine.

FYI, Texas has drawings for public land gator hunts and they allow the use of either bows of firearms.

Received my notice today. No tag this year but did get 1 preference point. The guy who offered to take me if I get a tag did get drawn. He told me I can come down and go on the hunt with him in September. Because of the number of trips I have this fall I had to decline. I did tell him I want pictures though.
