Gators!
« on: April 18, 2025, 06:19:15 AM »
Did a bucket list hunt with the wife and killed a couple sweet gators and some bonus hogs. The biggest was a true specimen, absolutely a prehistoric beast that has been around long enough to see some serious changes in this world but has survived them all. Also got to chase down and hand catch a 5.5-6 footer, that was a rush!

Wow, that is a masher.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
