I shot a 14' alligator and am thinking of getting a whole body mount. Can some of you send me pictures of yours? Thanks!

I don't have any photos but The Sportsman's Memory Shop in Grapeland has done two big gators that I have seen and both were magnificent. One mount was the gator fighting with a huge alligator gar titled "Epic Battle" and it was beyond words.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I agree with the Sportsman's Memory shop in Grapeland. I have seen one of the gator mounts Bobby and Trapper did of a huge gator they bagged down on the Texas coast years ago and it was impressive.

If I had one that big I would mount it as if swimming with a big old gar or carp (40-50 lbs at least) suspended between its open jaws. Tail curved as if it is in the midst of its final thrust to catch the fish.

Have it lunging out for a deer you shot on a previous hunt, or something native to where you took him.
