This past weekend was the first time I was able to view the gator that I took a stranger to get. He is no longer a stranger but a friend for life now. I can say as long as I have messed with gators Alcovy taxidermy done a heck of a job making this gator look just like he did the night we took him from lake Eufaula. It will be on display at the buckarama in Atlanta and in Perry later on this year. So stop by and see a true monster of a gator!

Sweet Gator! I couldn't afford a full body mount on mine or I would have done the same. My first gator was this year on the savannah river (zone 9) was 11'-4". Getting the skull done though.

Those measurements were taken by the taxidermist and by local dnr officers at his shop and the weight was certified using D.O.T scales so as far as the current state record it beat it by 1/2 inch and by close to 200lbs.

It is the largest taken in this state I guided the hunt but I may draw a tag next year for myself. I have a bigger one in mind when I draw a tag for myself.

Zone 1,2,3 in that order it takes close to 5 pts to get zone 1, 4pts will get zone 2or3.
