awesome pictures. Gators and turtles are like friends. I've seen turtles actually riding around on a gators back. Gator tail is pretty good to eat.

Really great pics and great quality what kind of camera do you have? Canon or what? I use an XTi and love the shots it takes. I wish i could get someone to take some action shots of me on my 400ex like those. No one I know knows how to work my camera good enough to take any quality shots. Do you use a peice of plexiglass or something in front of you or not since you are in the front of the machine? Steve:blah:

Well, I went looking for eagles this morning but the area was so void of water they just werent many around. I did see one, but nothing I could get pics of.

There were tons of toothy critters and birds though!

The birds have young or eggs in the nest making it pretty easy to approach them

The weather down here got cold for florida...low 30's. The gators were very sluggish this morning and when you saw 1, you saw 10

this is about all I will post up from down here, I have some swamp filled pants and boots to wash and dry (socks are hitting the garbage can!) and then at 4 am i will start heading north to the okefenoke swamp in southern georgia to see what i can stumble into for a day or so

Im leaving with all my arms and legs so it was a good day!

Sweet pictures Kenny! Even those shovelers! They are a good looking duck but taste like ***! haha I've been on the lookout on the shore but we haven't had the usually run of nesting birds. Hoping for some woodies here soon.

The class you took in being an ******* paid off! Grade A!!!

Maybe if your lucky enough to have family that cares about you, you might understand what being gone from home means.

Go ahead reply with something else smart *** to say.

I just remembered, I got an A+ in that class. Your days of taking shots at me have ended.

Doing good. He nor my other son were able to go on this trip as planned, they both (and the wife) had the flu bad so I had to leave them behind. Cody would have got alot of miles down for sure if it worked out. Pretty sure the boys will be with me at the rest of the races.

No not only over this. He has been taking shots at me for a year now, i've done my best to ignore it. Ive warned everyone to remove the personal snipes from thier posts, some wont listen....so they get what they get. He is but the first of many about to be removed.
