Why did you skin the gator from the belly up, instead of up along the edge of the back? did you just want it for a wall hanger? The belly hide and the throat skin is the valuable part of the hide. Even the legs. But again, you cut the the top of the legs, not the bottom.
I don't know what gator hides are going for now, but if you were to skin it to sell it, you would not skin it from the belly up.
But if you just want it for a wall hanger, that's fine. I am not sure, but I think you had a blast? food's not bad there is it.
Were you going to try an atlatal on one of those gators, or were you going to try for a hog? Like I said before in the other post, you should stuff one of those gators, and wait till the creek is running well, and everyone is standing around, it, and ease that stuffed gator into the creek, and watch the people scatter!
Glad you got to come down, and have fun. Too bad you didn't get any hogs.
