It's been a while since we've posted a blog and we apologize for that. Call us lazy, crazy, or both :) Either way we're back in the saddle after a long summer of hitting trade shows and all kinds of other things for the show.

Finally we were able to hunt something! Well, sort of. Kevin Knighton and I hit the waters of Lake Eufaula with Mark Land of Muzzy, Bryan Hughes of Backwater Bowfishing, and our own Backwoods crew member Jeremy Johnson.

Anyone that hasn't been gator hunting before, be ready for an adrenaline rushing experience. Legal hours for Alabama were 8pm until 6am, so you're on the water pretty much all night (since we had 3 tags to fill). As darkness sets in, so do the gators. They hunt mostly as night for an easy meal. We loaded up in Mark's awesome bowfishing boat and headed out.

About midnight, we filled the first tag as Bryan arrowed a 12+ foot monster gator! It took 5 of us doing all we could to get the giant lizard in the boat. With two more tags to fill we had plenty of time to get it done and just before daylight we capped off a great night with two more 8+ foot gators in the boat.

Here's a few pics from the past month of trade shows and the gator hunting!













Now off to catch up on sleep!
