  • I'm not kidding.

    I love him to pieces, but, tonight I'm sittin here typin away in bed, while he is out "gator" hunting with his lil bro (15) and my sister's husband... They decided that after thier game of laser tag (we went to Boomer's tonight) that gator hunting would be the perfect end to the evening.

    Thank God he has a decent life insurance policy.

    Someone tell me how the most metrosexual man on the planet decides he wants to go gator hunting? Maybe the stars aligned and DH had an unusual surge of testostorone?

    My BIL has a 9mm and DH and his lil bro both have hunting knives they borrowed from BIL. They also took, and I'm not kidding about this either, a shower curtain rod - as a gator poker.

    Thats the thing about my life, I dont make this stuff up... :sigh:
  • o.o; ... Can't say I've never been! *sheepish grin*

    Its a lot of fun, especially for blokes, but just make sure they're completely sober before going.

    I went to the glades in Floriday and we went on an airboat thinger and although our tools were a bit more sophisticated, we did that a poker thingy too :P

    Sometimes men (metrosexual or not) just need to be men....with other men. *shrugs* I draw the line at strip clubs. If my man wants to be a man at a strip club, then I want to go too!
  • Must be more than mad...
  • It's idiotic--you're right. Gators can surprise you...

  • my redneck husband says "i ain't hunting no gators" LOL must be because we don't have many in maryland.

    oy... hope he's ok.
  • This might be a silly question, but:

    Are they going to kill the gator, or just mess with it a little?
  • Be sure the premium is paid on his insurance policy!
  • Yeah that is very stupid. I hope he came out of it ok! Hopefully going out at night with them scared him a bit!

    Alligators are very unpredictable as with any wild animal. They are my favorite animal though and when I help participate in research with them it's something my husband gets so nervous about. I work in part with a zoo in New Orleans
  • If we had gators around...my husband would probably want to go too. When it comes to men... sometimes all you have left is prayer.
  • Eh...it is FL and that's what the men around here do...when in season...of course, you have to have a license and have your name pulled from a lottery to be able to legally hunt gator around here....and there is a short season....
  • Ft Pierce! Not too terribly far away... LOL!

    And WOW, I have to congratulate you on your loss! You look great, BTW.

    And, they weren't really going hunting per se, just agitating. Luckily they didn't find anything....
  • Ye gads!
    My husband and I have been laughing hysterically about this! All I can say is thank goodness we are too far north for 'gators and too far south for polar bears
  • LOL my husband and I have been laughing about your comment about him being so metrosexual and having a sudden surge of testosterone. I hope he got back safe and sound! I didn't even know it was legal to hunt gators!! Thanks for the education too btw.
  • Well, What the ****!!!!! If bored and in Florida, let's go piss off an alligator. Sounds like something my X would do.

    Problem is----I probably would have been right beside him, and poking with a bigger stick.

    Of course, I'm a female and smarter than he is. Therefore, I would be standing behind him while poking the damned alligator.
  • wow, for once I am thankful to be a city girl!
