I used to do it back when everyone skinned their own gators. You talk about work and my job was to cut the guts open and get the hooks back. Man, stank ain't even near a good enough word to describe dat.

Hooks are too cheap to have to cut them out. We always bought new hooks every year so we never worried about cutting the hooks out. I have gone back and picked up the hooks after the carcasses completely rotted and the smell was gone. We used to have a pile of them on the bank on our property and that was really rank.

If you shoot them, their throat muscles relax and the wooden dowel comes out. Dead alligators don't float. Better have a gaff ready.
That is the difference.

I don't save any hooks. They are cheap enough.

Well where do you gaff em? Guy I used to hunt wit always told us not to miss because if we put a hole in the skin on the underside we just bought ourselves some boots. And this was back when they were getting 40 some odd dollars a foot.
