    A-fucking-MEN!

    "That's not a knoife, this is a knoife." Paul Hogan is the fucking man. Milo has his "Every man goes gay for Sean Connery" thing. Mine is for Paul Hogan. If I believed in reincarnation, I would want to come back as an Aussie croc hunter, except of course, Steve Irwin.

    Yeah, I saw something on the news about this, they brought over an Australian to catch it and when he couldn't, they gave him a one week deadline before they brought in the Chinese, know nothing about it aside from that.

    You've got fists,
    and probably a car too.
    Money for a plain ticket?
    I sure do.

    Lets kick his ass.

    Don't try to get sympathy from Matah...he shoots crocs in the Bayous for fun. What would you expect of a Louisiana man? I'm all for shooting it, as well. Shooting things tends to get rid of problems.

    Croc's are a protected species in the Southern Hemisphere, don't know to much about alligators.

    Yes, I shoot alligators. Not crocs. I don't necesarily shoot them for fun. They're sold alfterwards.

    Chewie, be careful saying that shit. For the rest of you who have probably never even seen a gator, yes, in some cases it is legal now to harvest them. However, it is not, and never has been legal to sell wild game of any kind for any reason, under any circumstances. (Unless, of course, one is licensed)

    Not getting on your nuts, chewie, I've killed and skinned gator in my life time too, but just watch what you say. Remember, big brother is always watching.

    I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll. Heh. Betcha that'll get a few heads turning in D.C.

    Hey bud, I have legal right to hunt gators on my property. We get about 13 tags to kill gators for the amount of land we have. Then we sell them at the gator skin place. That simple, not breaking any laws either. I'm not much for breaking laws, so you know.

    No shit? Hell, here in GA, they allow an allotted number of tags sold, and it's basically drawn from a hat. I think my region (consisting of about 9 counties) gets 50 tags per year. It's good, but not enough. Alligators are becoming a nuisance, and the fact they are kept on the "protected species" list is stupid, political, and for money.

    Sorry if I offended you. I didn't realize there was such a difference in policies regard gator harvests in our 2 different states.

    No, it's harder to offend me than you think. A piece of property that's 1000 arces or so may get about 3000 tags. I'm not entirely sure though.
