They're closing in Munk

When I was just a little coonass we went crabbing quite a lot in the marshes around Pecan Island Louisianna. The rig consisted of tying a chicken neck to a length of string and throwing it in the water. The crabs get a hold and pull the string tight. Then won't let go if you pull them up slow. You can dip them up with a net. Great fun.

One time while crabbing off this old barge I was pulling up what I knew was a monster crab. My mom had the dip net. When I got the neck up it was in the mouth of an alligator. The barge was a good 4 feet off the water, so we werent really in danger, but it sure scared the hell out of us. LOL.

If we'd have cought it we'd have detailed it and cooked it up. What a waste.
 
That's one gator that would have become a popsicle when Fall arrived. Good thing he didn't get to eat a kid before that.

People are so dumb. It would have been better to kill the thing than release it.

One comes swiming up my stream he'll get a taste of the ole 41.

Then, I hope, youd eat his ass, take his teeth, skin, and feet too. Waste not want not.
 
I'd also like to say what a dumbass move it was to jump in the water with that gator too. Lucky guy. Should a let a sleeping gator lie. Wait for him to pop up and get him with a rifle. People underestimate the mobility of a gator both in and out of the water. They're fast on land too. Best not toy with em. They'll eat you, ya know.
 
I was thinking that too, Andy. Those things are nasty, and can deliver a dangerous bite, even at only 60- 70 pounds.

There was a story in the news up here last week, 'bout a guy and his dog out on a wilderness canoe trip. Portaging the canoe, a black bear met them on the trail and attacked.

The dog distracted the bear, and the man got behind it. Climbed on its back, and killed it by stabbing the bear in the throat with his hunting knife. Both he and his dog had minor injuries, and are doing fine.

Got me wondering ... what's the best khuk for bear throat-stabbing?

The heck with stabbing one,I think one to split its head in half would be the one for me. GRS, or my large FF. Long, fast and with enough mass and speed to do a lil bear splitting.;)
 
If Sarge wasn't on vacation harassing the Florida alligators, I bet he'd grind out a bear-stabbin' knife right quick. Based on an authentic 18th century model, and discreetly handled with a bear's jawbone.

Probably an 18" AK for bear head-splitting, but a 13" Sgt. Kadka special for bear neck-stabbing.
 
What a story huh? I really want a dog so bad you guys can't imagine it now. This waiting for the baby to be born first thing is just killing me.
 
Andy, ever thought of making a sheath out of gator hide? I bet it'd look really nice. Just don't show it to Steve Irwin. :D
 
I'm not scared of Steve Irwin. I got bigger knives. LOL.

I'd like to try a bunch of exotic skins. Time. Right now I'm still an infant at cowhide. You gotta see some of the guys at KF, and what they can do. Wow. I saw one inlaid with cobra skin the other day. Jeez. Mike Tea is a friggin knife sheath genious. Look up his posts. And be prepared for Wow factor.
 
A number of months back there was this thread 'bout a guy in NEPAL who killed a bear by braining it with a khuk.....I think I'd want 18", probably an AK.
 
AK Bowie wuld be great for bear neck stabbing. But I would prefer to stab it after I shot it with Daves's new Marlin. I was watching Survivorman the other night and he was in the Georgia swamps. I was hoping he would try and take a gator for food. but he only went for frogs and one rattlesnake. Lucky he wasn't gator bait sleeping about three feet from the water's edge!

I wonder how gator popsicle tastes?
 
Why the heck did they have to kill it?

Am I missing something?! What was it doing that was so dangerous to people that it had to be snuffed?

You guys know me---I'm far from a PETA member believe me, but I don't get this. It bothers me when people's first reaction is "kill it"

And what a way to go--an arrow and a botched throat cutting? Nice. What a beautiful memory for the kids:rolleyes: :thumbdn:

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but this stuff bugs me. I've got a page worth of things to say about what this type of thing says about our culture, but luckily for everyone I have to go to work...
 
There were houses around that pond, Rob. That gator would have eaten peoples dogs most likely. Thats really common. Gators love dogs. So killing it to protect your pal, to me, is appropriate. But since there were also kids fishing there, I think killing it was certainly a good idea. I hate they wasted the meat, skin, claws, and teeth though. Plus, it woulda just frozen to death during the winter anyway, right?
