Yes, like slightly fishy chicken. Although, so do a lot of wild waterfowl that weren't fed on grain.

Although considering birds and reptiles closeness on the ol' tree of life, it shouldn't be a complete shock.

I think they taste kind of like a cross between chicken and pork, not really fishy but maybe mildly gamey. You can tell the larger and older gators because they're tough. The smaller ones like the one I caught (5') are pretty tender.

could make a nice set of 1911 grips as well. take a nice/cheap hard wood and contact adhesive the skin to the wood. wrapped slightly into a cutout on the underside to prevent pealing. =)

Oooh, I declined the hide as I didn't think I'd have any use for it at the time. I'm not an alligator shoes or bag kind of girl. But now a holster!! Think I might have to give him a call and arrange for another trip - it wouldn't be right just to get another section of hide, it needs to be one I caught. Don't have a 1911 - yet. But that's a great idea for when I get one. Thanks guys!

Seeker, you've seen the pic on my fb page. It's in the Wild Savannah album. And I'm done with first dates for a while. Completely over that whole dating thing. Ugh.

A thing that has worried me on and off was that the devil in the blue dress on wore an alligator hat. I often wonder whether it was a live or a dead alligator hat. I think a live one would be much cooler. You know, cosmetically speaking. Temperaturally speaking a live alligator hat might actually keep you quite warm. But I wouldn't know. You have to ask, yes, the devil with the blue dress on.  ;)

If large enough a holster and belt combo.

When you get your hide, give this guy a call....

He does impressive things with various hides....even did a stingray-hide holster for one guy...

You mean you don't have a "not-safe-for-FB" picture album?....  ;)

280, what are you smoking??  =D

wmenorr - excellent idea!

seeker - I have a guy here in GA that does good work but I'll give your guy a look - I might want a stingray holster myself.
As to my pics, if they're "not-safe-for-FB" then they're "not-safe-for-seeker."
