After planting my last food plot here at home, I parked my drag on the hill above my pond. Since I was pointed in that direction I just drove by my pier on the way to the house.
As I reached a point about 20’ from the water there was a big swirl in the water and I’m thinking large turtle, beaver, or Texas sized bullfrog. Imagine my surprise when this gator surfaced about 25/30’ from the bank. I think I said Holy Chit !
To my surprise, he (or she) is not real timid. Sucker hung out long enough for me to get lots of phone pics and video and was still visible when I took my wife to the pond after she got home a couple hours later.
I’m no judge of gator sizes, but this one looks to be 8/9’ long. Very cool to have your own dinosaur !
