Some of Eddie's family. Tea party by Eddie's grand daughter Friday evening before the hunt.

Very sweet girl,she told me her granddaddy was a great hunter.

Getting ready for a Hog/Coyote hunt Saturday evening,we decided not to Gator hunt so I could get some sleep to get ready for the drive home.

[ Like the shirt Sadie Jane]

Something else I had never seen,drive through beer store,you got to love that.

Chris called in 1 big Coyote for me to about 10 or 12 yards but I was to slow,he was in and out in a big hurry.Very cool just the same.

Again beautiful country to hunt.

Big thunder storm brewing after the hunt. Equipment that need replacing or re worked.

Man them Gators are hard on stuff.

Saying good buy and getting ready to head back to Tennessee.

Miss Joanie checking out the gators and the stuff I used. She was impressed and glad I was home safe.

She had her doubts when I left.

She still thinks I am crazy.

That looks like quite an adventure. Great job Pappy and Eddie.

Pretty neat adventure there Pappy and some fine looking gator skins and meat to go along with the memories.
Looks like you and Eddie had quite the good time out there wrestling those big lizards into the boat. Congrats on a
successful hunt.
Sounds like you guys may both need a few days to catch up on some sleep though.
