Just wanted all the circle guys to know about this rolling chassis. It will make a great racer for someone.

Well we found what we went looking for.  12ft. 6in.  776lbs. His head was 30 inches long. He was a monster. We fought him for 3 1/2 hrs. and took over an hr. to get him in the boat.

In between the last pics and this one, we've gotten 2 more 10 footers and one 5 footer. The wife wanted a little one to do a whole mount and dress in FSU clothes.

This is not the greatest video in the world and it had to be broken down into 6 parts to put it on the web.
It's better than no video though. The objective was to kill a gator not to film it.  lol

ADD 1 More to the list!  This 1 was named Stubby. He measured right at 9 foot with quite a bit of the end of his tail missing. Looks like it was bitten off by another gator years ago.  We got him right in the middle of a rainstorm. I took the opportunity to wash my camera. It needed it. It hadn't been washed in a long time. I now need a new digital camera unless this one dries out and starts working right again. I managed to get 1 pic of him right before the camera died. It's not a good pic but it's a pic. The wife went on this trip and shot video of the ordeal. I haven't watched it yet but I don't expect a whole lot. Becuase of the rain she had to stay back under the bimini top and there were at least 3 or 4 of us up on the bow working the gator. I would imagine it's a lot of butt shots. How ever it turns out, I'll post it and give the link.

10' 2"  We WORKED for this one!  I'll tell the story later. Right now I'm going to bed.

cory, which lake?  was it in lake county?  lake eustis?  very nice gator, congrats.

Lake county Tags and we pulled him out of out Lake Eustis.

10' 2"  We WORKED for this one!  I'll tell the story later. Right now I'm going to bed.

So when is the next trip? Oh yeah what time is dinner Corey?

Next trip?  1hr. 58 min. and 47 sec.    With any luck I'll have more pics up in the A.M.

Ahhhh the thrill of killing another living thing. Your boys must be SO proud of you!!!

YUP

What kind of gun?

Bow and arrow, then a homemade harpoon with a tuna speartip on the end and then finally a 12 gauge bangstick to the brain.

It's only a 7 and a 1/2 footer but we got him within the first hour of the first night of the season.
The kids told me to wake them up when I got home if I got one so they're still asleep in the pic.

God I miss that quad. It was the sickest thing I've ever been around. Other than those drag Banshees it was scariest thing I've seen.

Me Too!!!

Happy B-day

Quad- :dunno.gif  Im just a quiet little boy!

Just what quad likes, quiet little boys who won't tell their parents!   

Looks like I'll have to take my chances in the Expert class. :dunno.gif
Maybe I'll take some old worn out tires I have and groove them!

I've got a set on rims (honda) that you can you use if you can swing by and get them.

The next race is April 1st. Since alot of us will be out of town April 29 what do all of you think about racing Ocala April 22?. This will be a non points night but we can try to make it a large turnout anyway. This should help out Scott and Derek who want to come along way to race. Comments?

Just think how big this could be if we could get Quad32x, GasGas, 1Fast250r, Superstar, SuperStarr, and Liv2Ride all out there??

I'm in!

Hello Ladies.     

    Corey,
  Where have you been? And yes Ocala aka Thunderbowl is running so bring out your R. I saw some retored pics recently...very nice!

Ohh, I'll be runnin with you boys again real soon. I'm puttin another R together for F/T real soon. I gotta get my shop built first. See ya on the track real soon.

Hello Ladies.      

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.

Hell is too hot for too long to be wrong!

I don't see the words Pledge of Allegiance. Hmm.....
I don't know about you, but my creator was my mother and my father. How we're you created?

I know how I got here, and I also know how you got here too!


Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

So many people then so few of them now..... LMAO cant forget the Dorito stealing rat. I still remember those days when we thought it was SOOOOO amazing to see a set of Elkas on a bike. Then when Jeffp brought out his Z400 we were all in awe. Im glad i kept my contacts with some of those people. I still have never figured out who those guys where that showed up at my ride with the banshees. I wish i could figure out who it was. I also still want to meet Gearmade. Those were the good ole days for sure. Lumsden, you think there is anyway we could reserect my few threads about my bike? I just want to read/print them out. Mind you i could rewrite it all i have a copy saved at home on my comp.

Ahhh, The good ole days. The banshee boys were "POOR_BOYS_ATV"  Funny thing is they are logged on now. Gearmade, That's Jay, He's a great guy. Just one of the great friends I've made through this site.   Biohazard? , lol

All of the ones killed were my sister-in-laws first cousins.  Also 3 of the kids who were on the bus are in critical condition

[never]

One more reason I never ride unarmed.

hippies in the woods? Mabey i'll pack some heat like GSPkurt

Just remember, It's illegal to carry a pistol in a National Forest. If your out there you better carry a long gun.

Have you heard the saying- "Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6"?

I absolutely agree! I carry everywhere I go, I figure I'll deal with a minor weapons charge and still have my life rather than be dead. I just wanted everyone to be clear on the law of the forest.
Although I don't see how it can be "clear" to anyone. It is illegal to carry a pistol in a national forest and it is illegal to fire a pistol in a national forest, yet there are firing ranges in almost all of the national forests.

Steve, I don't think a WMA stamp allows one to carry or fire a pistol, only a rifle or shotgun.

I'm not clear at all the laws. I just know when I got my CCW permit a while back, I read all the CCW laws and one of them was no carry in a national forest
