Yeah and developers just love to add ponds in housing developments and all have signs warning of Gators and missing pets are common.
Spit my coffee OD. Glad to see you are still kicking. No CT just worries about being alone in the woods with me. Says he trust Gators will not bother him.No wonder Tom has an aversion to water hunting

Yeah I lived in Ft Lauderdale years ago and every few months a story on the news would be about a pet owner walking a pet near canal or pond and ending up playing tug o war with a Gator that they happened upon. Usually ended up as Gator 1 Pet owner 0

Would love to help but I stay in enough trouble all by myself ......like the time hunting the tidal creek in Charleston with P@tch. I told him that signals come in stronger if you tie chicken breast around your ankles.

I had the same problem with my hound. Didn't build the fence high enough. Electric fence will keep him in. Hope they find little chompy.

Lol I have only seen about 8 Gators this year. Some people down in the LC make some great finds around tidal creeks. They say that you don't have to outrun the Gators as long as you outrun your hunting buddy.

Nuts, still couldn't believe these pictures when I got your text... pretty brazen gator. We've got ponds both in front and behind the house and gators are a common occurrence...had a few scare the crap out of me while scouting in the swamps for dig sites

Yeah crazy and it's not that far from you. Gators tend to shy away but from time to time they seem to go out of their way to stir things up. Remember the Gator that made its way up Bob's creek during the heavy rains this year. Kept him out of creek that day.
