[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 2829228, member: 106919"] If this is a once in a lifetime true trophy hunt go 10’ or bigger. My longest is a 10’7”….and after dealing with that I have no desire to do it again.lol. Mind you this is all going out with friends so no guides. I’m sure having a guide to take care of all the processing makes it somewhat trouble free. Now, I usually just stick with “manageable” size gators around 6-7’. They taste better, and make better leather (at least for my skill level at tanning). Also easier to land when you’re solo hunting. Below is the 10’7”. Had a local taxidermist do the head mount, and I did the skin. If memory serves me correctly they wanted $4K or something just to tan it for me?!? So I did it myself. That skin pic is off 2 years later when I was moving, still holding up pretty strong. [/QUOTE]
