    Thanks for the info. I tend to agree pistol is the way to go. The bangstick i was looking at was a stick with the barb, rope and bouy attached so you could follow the bouy. But i dont see how you can get up to the gator to hit him with a stick. Bow and Arrow to "have possesion" then gun. I didnt get a tag last year so i havent been to realy Know what i am talking about. Maybe this year.

    Dont fear the shakazulu action. It works.

    WD, you're confusing a bang stick (which is used to whack the animal for good) with a harpoon (aka. shakazulu) which is used to get a line in the critter. By law in SC, you have to get a line in him before you whack him for good.

    Some of y'all scare me with your lack of knowledge.
    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    A .38 will do the trick also, I witnessed first hand knowledge of such when I was about 10. Can't go into any more info, it was illegal but solved the problem. I wasn't the shooter
