ldhrads Posted April 12, 2011 Share #1  Posted April 12, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been meaning to get out to the lake behind my house to take some shots of a nice looking gator I've seen lately. I really wanted to use my Telyt 280 or the Kilfitt 400 that I just acquired on the M9/Visoflex  Today I had the opportunity to shoot him with the M9 50 Elmar combo since he took a liking to my next door neighbors pool and took a swim this morning.  Unfortunately for the gator the next stop is the processing plant....  [ATTACH]252295[/ATTACH] He's about 2.8 Meters in length [ATTACH]252296[/ATTACH] Yes, he was looking right at me!!!  [ATTACH]252294[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 13, 2011 Share #6 Â Posted April 13, 2011 Lawrence - Â Very nice, especially the last. I thought Animal Control would capture it and release it deeper in the wild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhrads Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share #7 Â Posted April 13, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Unfortunately, these big gators don't get released in the wild, they are considered nuisance gators and end up processed. A big gator like this would easily take my 100 pound golden retriever. Even a small child playing at the edge of the lake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted April 15, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted April 15, 2011 Lawrence, Â Great shots of the gator. It would be wise for the owner of a pool to make a survey before diving in especially in the evening. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
