Question:
going diving to retrieve a brand new $50,000. race rig in 0 visibility gator infested waters. that will be real exciting .lol last time i did that a fish ran into me and i almost pissed my dive suit. atleast i think it was a fish . lol
we have to do somthing soon with all the damn gators there over populated and causing problems .they have nothing eating them now there on the top of the food chain right now. there gonna wait till people get killed i guess. then let us eat them .they eating all our dogs, ducks and anything else they can chop down on. and ya get caught killing one you go to jail . grrrrrr
are you in florida having the same thing ?
hi jrs
be safe. we don't have any gators but my dog has teeth like one. lol :D
I used to be a rescue diver... I feel your pain... though I only had to deal with sharks and barracuda.
Good luck... and remember.... peeing in your suit keeps you nice and warm.
Jrs...funny you should ask...................darling Mr. Bill, informed me yesturday morning........."babe look at the picture that I took down at the dock this morning, now you aren't going to be too happy"................Me: "so what is it a gator?".......... Bill: "uh, babe, it's 4 little baby gators".............UGHHHHHHHHH, so yes, now we have little gators in our bayou...marvey, simply marvey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:( and I know there's a momma and a poppa!!!!!! EK
One of the reasons I dislike Florida, rattlers and gators. No fun walking in the woods, or should I say in the swamp under those conditions.
When I was at McDill AFB in Tampa the security squadron had a whole wall full of rattler skins, some where huge. These were road kills or ones they had to terminate due to being a threat or FOD.
When I used to live in Jacksonville I used to rattle snakes all the time. I only saw one gator, but it was 7 footer in my neighbors yard. Brad, since you are in law enforcment, could you tell me why cops are always the ones to come and catch these things? Do they go through special wild animal recovery training?
long story but up here it's because we have guns and radios. if an animal is a threat in michigan and there is not other suitable solution we will eliminate it. I think the other reason for cops getting called is because certain animal enforcement officers do have special training as well as are educated in the law and have arrest and citation powers. We call ours, county sheriff, animal control. They are armed and have the required tools to handle most animal situations.
jrs, please be careful. You couldn't pay me enough to do that job
[SIZE=3]Goodness Gracious, be careful...[/size] :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Pam say it isn't so..........gators?....no!!!!!
not in our pond? :mad:
No not in the "pond" Sally....just in the bayou.
Oh Good....eeeek!
close enough!
don't use an inner tube ;)
my nephew ran in his house and said there was a big green dog in the yard and my brother walked out and there was a huge gator by his back door where his son was playing. a fence went in that week.
pam if you got ducks are dogs . there gonna be disapearing real soon.
what they do to dogs is tease them and the dogs get excited and bark at the bank and they slip out the water and knock the dogs in the water with there tails and once its in the water it dont have a chance. my mom watch her german sheppard get eaten that way.there making things real unsafe here ive had 2 neigbors get attacked air med had to come get my neigbor directly across the river from my house . the gator cornered him under his house and grabed him and he was holding on the beams under his house to keep him from being drug in the water.
im doing it for free. shshshs poor kid is out enought money he didnt have insurance on his rig they woudnt sell him any . now he will be paying notes on somthing thats at the bottom of the river .
OMGthat was the scariest diving of my life.
after 3 ft there was total darkness went down 45 ft into logs roots trees . felt my way blind over all that stuff for 1.5 hrs and came up to get my bearings and the watchers in the boat are pointing and saying gator . and i was thinking yea right scare me . and i looked that way and damn sure was one heading straight for me. im thinking what the hell here we go. and a bass boat was passing by and they pointied to the gator and to me and the boat ran between us and the gator went down .well there i am floating in the water cant see my feet. and im looking . after a minute the gator poped back were he was and came to me again. i pull out my knife and splash and say a few choice cuss words . and didnt even wet my wet suit. lol my bud says thats it dive is over i cant handle the stress anymore. i get my nerve back up and dovetill bted my dive tables. no boat yet but then again we had ivan out there sending us millions of gallons of water. gonna try to get some sonar . erik got any other suggestions ? get this he was doing 105 mph hit a wake become airborn when the boat hit the water again the transom broke he had somone in the back of his boat when it went down and the guy rode the boat all the way to the bottom befor he got out. duhhhhhh the driver was already in a gamewardens boat telling them his friend was still down there and he poped up a minute or so later. i bet that was exciting . his friend said the boat was standing straight up on end with the motor in the mudd when he got out . he said it sank like a rock.
Holy Chit!!!!!!
You are lucky to be alive. I forbid you to go back down there. Nothing material is worth risking your life for. I love to snorkle in the Carribean where the water is as clear as the sky. I can't imagine scub diving in what sounded like liquid mud!!!! You stay on the top of the water. Do you hear????
XO
jrs....man you sure got some..................guts. I hate gators!!! When I go down near the water on the property I am always looking every which way....ugh...........and you're out there swimming with them...........you're nuts!!!! All to help a friend, that's what I like about you!! :) Can't believe the guy was going 105mh....geeze :confused: Be careful jrs!!!! (there's people here that really love you).
