It WAS (initially) a good job... made some $. Problem was, as it progressed it became rather political in nature. I pretty much suck at politics, and proceeded to manage with reckless abandon. After 11 years, I resigned to regain my sanity and health. WDW should be the world's greatest place to work. Unfortunately, it's too full of a$$holes and big shot wannabies. I didn't fit that mold. I was credentialed, experienced and good at it, but I don't kiss butt very well. It was a good experience though.

I use to help the my uncle with the wildlife catch gators in areas and release in the swamps. They are super strong. I had a picture of me with a small one I caught and released on here once.... it was photoshopped after the fact but I'll see what i can dredge up. Take a big enough gun for sure. Those shows with them taking them with a 22 are trying to keep the wounds small for the hide and skull retail values.

Was thinking about taking a little single shot 410 of mine. Think it'll be enough?

REMF do you have a lever action 357? thats what T-roy and Bigfoot from Tx use on the big gators lol I think any good medum size round would work. Heck a centerfire handgun round would probably be sufficent. I'd opt for something compact and with GREAT sights. |

REMF will soon be schooled on exactly what is legal for dispatching gators in MS. My choice is usually the biggest round the law allows.
I'd rather lose a little skin and meat off the animal than skin and meat off me.

Hunting laws in MS differ pretty substantially from their Louisiana neighbors.

Yep. Handguns are specifically prohibited, but bangsticks are allowed.

From what I have seen rimfire 22 and 22 mag are the cartridge of choice. The intent it to make as small of a hole in only one place as possible. The more damage to the skin the less money it is worth. I have seen them use everything from a musket to pistols to a ruger mini 14 etc. What does the state law say does it require centerfire if it does a 38 in a .357 lever gun would work you dont want over penetration or an exit hole if you can help it. I would use a 22mag and also have something like a .223 for longer shots and zero that at 100 and know where it hits from 50 yds to 100. I think the lead weighted tripple hook and throw line is a must have item to recover one. Supposed to be a small round spot at the back of the head that is the target. Do be cautious of snakes and have snake boots or chaps available. Not sure what you have for a boat but be carefull trying to load one that you dont sink it look at load capacity and figure what a 900 lb gator will do.
