Thanks, never heard of that expression before.
Isn’t that what I said? The SCI record isn’t the world record. It doesn’t even come close. It may be the record for that organization, but it is far from being a world record. State harvesting organizations use official data collection methods since the state controls tags for hunting and harvesting records. I trust those numbers more than some unofficial organization promoting themselves. You can look up the records for Texas and Florida as well which have their own records from harvests. Alabama doesn’t keep such records.
Does that mean that every centimeter of one gator goes for the same price..or can different areas of the same gator have different prices?
Thanks again..
The one with the lady and the baby is the only one that isn’t long armed. My only point was that it is plenty huge. No need to make it appear bigger.
That depends on the buyer.
Of course the people were standing behind it, it does not look to me like they were standing far back.
Which is what you are suggesting.
I’m suggesting that they should be riding it like an alligator rodeo! :)
OK you go first. :)
It's the world record for the way it was taken and sanctioned.
I trust those numbers more than some unofficial organization promoting themselves.
SCI is more credible than any F&G.
