I had a buddy down from Ohio this weekend. We hunted Friday night, and couldn't get within 50 yards of any of the 8 gators we saw, in a 5 hour span. Got out on a different river Saturday afternoon, and didn't see anything during daylight, except for a good 11'+ gator that some boys arrowed and didn't follow up on and it died. Damn shame to struggle to get close on a small one, and then someone arrows one and can't even follow up on it.

My Ohio guy did arrow an 8'10" one at 8:30pm, within a few hundred yards of the boat ramp. Good way to end the season for me.
