First Alligator - 9ft approx 250lb

What a great group of guys- Thanks goes out to Hoss-Chris- and Josh.
My Thompson Encore - loaded up with my 500 MAG Barrel was not sighted in fully- Danny the Ranch owner let me use his Ruger 204- nice rifle. Nice day- passed on a 12' Gator and saw this guy sunning himself on a bank- learned that you can only shoot a Gator from his eye to his ear or directly on the back side of the head. I'm guessing it was about a 85 yard shot- jumped out of the truck layed gun and myself across the hood! Two deep breathes and NAILED him- shot the eye out! Dropped him on the spot- Special thanks to Chris and Josh - jumping into the canoe to retrieve the Gator! If you notice closely he bit down on something so hard that his tooth came through the front part of upper jaw by his nostrils. I plan on getting a full body mount (with the tooth just like it is)!
Thanks- again to Kissimmee River Ranch- great place to hunt or check out their other ranch- Brady Ranch - located about 1 1/2 hour South of Orlando! Some Gator meat being shipped up to me soon! HMMMMMM!

USING ANOTHER MAN'S RIFLE AND GETTING THIS GATOR FROM THAT ANGLE AND DISTANCE- PRICELESS-
I MIGHT HAVE TO START TEACHING SHARP-SHOOTER CLASSES-
