  I'm not wasting my skin, and besides, if you just used the belly you would need a gator about 10' long.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

  Trey, when you get those Gar, don't throw the meat away, it's good. It taste pretty close to lobster or shrimp. Makes great fish jerky.

hey now i never thought of muskie skins.
got several lakes nearby that have them freaky monster fishies in em.

just aint never caught one that was of legal length yet.but i'll keep trying.
it's like they say,for every 10,000 cast you might catch one.
