The biggest gator I have ever seen by far was on Ossibaw island. I'm guessing he ate alot of pork.

Or venison. I hunted Ossabaw 3 years ago... A big deer is 60lbs.

Good job. My skull stayed pretty much intact but all the teeth fell out and it was a job figuring that out.

Here is a 10+ head I did.

That looks awesome! Did you boil
It or let it rot in a bucket of water for a couple of months?

Bucket of water for about a month or so.
Then soaked it in Tide/water for a week. Then I added fresh water and a cup of clorox for a day. Rinsed it off good then soaked it in H2O2 the strong stuff and water for a week.

Its quite a process. I let it rot for 3 months on the middle of summer. It completely dissolved all the cartilage which is why it fell apart. The bones were completely clean tho. Man... that was a stinky job... I scrubbed it all with a toothbrush and then did the H2O2 @ 3% (brown bottle @ drug store) for a couple of days. I let it dry and glued it all together then sprayed it with a clear enamel. Its nice for a 6 footer but I want those huge, round, thumb sized teeth like you got!! I'll probably sell the hide. The skull will be my prized possession!

I would feel bad if I "liked" your comment. That's a sad story. I'm sure that had to be a monster gator! The gator population in Ga has really exploded in the past couple of decades. They are adding more and more tags every year. Just be careful of how much meat you eat at once. Their mercury levels are through the roof.
