midnight snack

[Texas Ranger]

Why did the gator cross the road?





To take momma a light pork snack.

[WDH]

I reckon he plans to have a real BBQ, except I thought that beef was the rage for BBQ in Texas.  Us folks over here eat hog meat like that alligator.  He must be from Georgia ;D.

[zopi]

was hoping to hear something about roast gator tail...

O'l boy is just doing his part to clean up th' varmints...

[Texas Ranger]

Danny, out of respect, I will not comment on that Georgia thing.  However, y'all never had any of Florida's ribs, have ya?

[WDH]

Oh yes I have!!  And, I am not complaining ;D.  They were fine.  I like em both ways :D.

Did you take that shot on one of your road trips or field trips?

Pretty respectable size to that one...better'n average size maybe? ??

[Texas Ranger]

I did not take the shot, it came off the coast by one of our game wardens, and circulated through the hunter safety program.  But yeah, about a 12 footer.

I am glad here in missouri we dont have much critters that bite back. We have a few guys that say they see bears and mountain lions around here but thats far and few beers between. Ive never seen any proof.

I came across a big gator like that one night . He was laying across the road down by Sabine Pass. It had been raining real hard and was flooding just a little. The drilling rig I was working on was in dry dock just up the road a few miles. I thought a little gator tail might be right tasty so me like a fool , I grabs a chain out of the back of the truck and was gonna lassou this critter, then drag it to the rig. I just sat there till I got right up to it's head with the chain. That's when it hissed and showed me 45 acres of teeth.  I was rat quick deciding to let the thing have the road as long as it wanted.  :D  :D

[Tom]

Yeah, lassoing a gator would be like the dog that caught the truck.  :D

[DanG]

But Lee woulda had a great story to tell...if he pulled through. :D :D :D

[isawlogs]

When I read and see things like this that I really appreciate the fact that I was consived this far away from all those teeth ..........  8)

[LeeB]

If your ancestors had made their way down south to Louisiana you would be thinking how good all that tail looked for dinner.

[isawlogs]

Oh , trust me Lee I know a good peice of tail when I see one . That one there , aint to sure , I would be more then willing to try it out at least once but ya can keep the critter down your way . 

[Texas Ranger]

Tastes like chicken, dark meat.

[DanG]

Woodbowl took some gator tail to the Piggy Roast a couple of years ago, Marcel.  Did you get to try it?

[woodbowl]

Tastes like chicken, dark meat.

If it does, yall got better tasteing gator than we've got. Wildflower thinks it's better than prime rib. I couldn't keep her from snitching it off the grill. I was beginning to think I was a good cook or something.  After lunch I asked Tom how he liked it. He got a funny look on his face and said, taste like gator.  :D

[Texas Ranger]

Kinda like rattlesnake, it is an acquired taste, once you get past the concept of eating reptile.

[LeeB]

I've had it chicken fried, stewed, and bbq'ed. I prefer it bbq'ed with chicken fried running a real close second. You can eat more than just the tail but the rest ain't as good.

[Woodwalker]

In the words of a Cajun buddy of mine , "Ya'll know what them gators is skeered of? ........................................ Nothin."

[Wildflower]

When woodbowl first told me what it was I was alittle scared to try it... But decided to give it a try. Let me tell you that was some good gator! ;D
