MS allows two tags. Both gators have to be over 4' long, only one can be over 7'. So a runt (meat gator) and a trophy gator per tag holder. You have to attach a possession tag to the leg identifying the tag holder before you transport it.

Good Times! Here's a couple from Mississippi this week. The 13'8" came out of Bayou Pierre South of Vicksburg, the 12' came out of Eagle Lake, North of Vicksburg.

Check out www.hebertsmeats.com The boneless stuffed chickens are great, but there is also a great selection of gator, crawfish, steaks, sausage etc...

The Lower Mississippi between Greenville and Natchez, MS is a whole other animal from the upper Mississippi. Barge traffic keeps the water churning constantly the USACE keeps a minimum 11' deep navigable channel marked by bouys, but outside the channel the depth varies widely. Add in rock...

The Pro XS will be the speediest of the 3, 2 strokes wind up faster than 4 and weigh less. The Merc and Yamaha 4 strokes seem to be a six of one half dozen of the other deal. some prefer one over the other for personal biases and will argue those biases. All things being equal, I'd go with...

Gated levees is easy to understand, but hard to make folks accept. The levees were constructed with public monies, to protect the public interest (prevent flooding). But, the lands beneath them and used to construct them were at one time private property, or may still be private. Some levee...

Arkansas Game and Fish regs state only that you can not hunt from a moving motorized vehicle. A parked vehicle, not on a public road, levee or other public ROW is perfectly legal. If you are on private land, off the public road, during a legal season and legal shooting hours, you can hunt from...

A Balmy 82 degree Christmas Day in Mississippi. Down in the 50's now that the front has passed through, but floods on the way with the river rising to about 11' above flood stage.

Vicksburg area (Eagle Lake). I spend most of my time on the river.

I've been very pleased with the quality of my Lowe. In regard to size, my 2070 is 96" at the beam and with roller guides my trailer is over 100". Lay out all the things you normally carry to camp. Coolers, gas, gear etc, then see if you have room to maneuver in the boat with the gear. My dad...

First frost of fall this morning. That'll make my hibiscus stop blooming!

I would assume the small buyer pool locally has a lot to do with it. In a more populated area they would likely be gone already.

Bassboy (Dawson) made enough of an offer for me to get a firm price from above, $750 for both boats as a package. He thought the good boat was worth $700 by itself but staring at them everyday brought his thoughts more into line with reality. No reply on that yet but anyone looking, $200 for...

Hulls can and do get re-rated over time. My 2012 was rated for a 115 when I bought it. In 2014 the USCG re-rated the exact same hull under newer standards for 150. Lowe sent me a new capacity plate showing the new rating as the hulls were identical.

Never too late for a family trip down South! Weathers about to turn nice finally!
