Oh and should have used a 10mm. Just ‘sayin!!
So 9mm some type of carry round missed the postage stamp (diamond) by about an inch. Not bad on a thrashing target.
Nope knocked it out and gave enough time to drag it to shore lay it out for pictures. My son was sitting on it and I had my face about 1 1/2 feet from its snout trying to get a cool shot.
So I figured the day was getting even more fun when its eyes opened up and looked at me, then it started growling.
It felt my son on it's back and it stood up on all fours (taller than expected). It went nuts trying to snap at my sons legs and arms.
I tossed my camera, (never to be seen again) and cleared my sidearm. I ran back and forth in front of it taunting it to draw attention away from my son.
That worked sort of and my son got a better grip but now started chasing me with son riding it like mutton busting.
Son hollering shoot shoot, ?mmm his hands around it's neck and important parts right behind that, no joy couldn't get one off.
I slowed down my taunting and evade and tried to get it coming in a strait line. Well it worked my son drew and fired point blank.
I have a couple new rules.
Use a damn rifle you can stick right in the sweet spot (or use as a gator snack).
Don't go without an ice pic it won't
hurt any meat or hide / mount.
And some tape around the snout doesn't make you look like a puss.
