  1. Saw a guy on a gator river once he freaked out trying to get his gun and capsized lost the gun his prescription glasses and car keys, the gator never moved

  2. The very, very first time I launched my new kayak into the water over 30 years ago, I was in Florida. A little creek near Oviedo.

    I put in under the bridge and went about 20 ft downstream. A 5-6 ft death lizard was obviously trying to kill me and lept from the bank into the water. He did not swallow me whole; but his death bumps went thump thump thump on the bottom of my kayak as he passed under me.

    That is the first and only time a gator has bothered me in my kayak.

    If you need a gun to deal with Gators while kayaking, you fucked up -several- decisions ago

  4. Idk if a gun would even do you any good if it actually decided to attack. They have a really small soft spot on their head you’d have to hit and unless you are John Wick that’s gonna be really tough.

    Also I think most horror stories are gators flipping kayaks, I haven’t really heard of a story where a guy was both flipped and eaten.
