Hunting a brackish water marsh
Just got on a section of Miami property and was wondering how many of you hunt with dogs in a marsh with alligators. We have seen a few this summer but hit an 8 footer in the canal 40 yards from the pond. It was a monster. I know I will not hunt my dog during teal season but will all the gators be hibernating by big duck?

We hunt marsh with alligators and we don't have many problems with gators during big duck. By time big duck rolls around its cold enough that the gators won't be very active and they won't be out. Just don't hunt with your dog during teal season.

Find out who has the tags for your marsh. Explain that you need the gators out your runs and ponds. If you're lucky he may even invite you when he runs his lines! Most alligator hunters love to rid your hunting ponds of gators.

My thoughts exactly. I've got more $$$ in my labs than a duck is worth to send one in the grass. I may just let them do close retrieves and hunt them in Holly Beach a bit more.

I would give up the lease immediately! Let me know. I can help get you out from under it and recoup your money.

I may be able to help you out next year. I am thinking of subletting out some blinds. It's a lot of work getting all three blinds ready for hunting. |

Where you hunting? We have some big gators out during teal season. Haven't seen any during big duck season in 4 yrs. |
