Alligators in Florida are Growing OUT of Control!

[@michaelmccolgan3291]

I farm and ranch here and I get 80 gator tags a year and I only use 4 or 5 a year and we only take the gators that get into our small man made watering holes these are a huge threat. I tried contacting you a few years ago to see if you wanted to use these tags because these tags can be used anywhere in Florida . Now we have gators scattered because of the storms and I’m sure when February through April they will become a huge problem.

[@deermeatfordinner]

I’d love to come and do a video showing what the gators do. We can absolutely do a video!!!!

[@Daithlee]

Let him have em and come on over to Lake Jessup lol....waaaay too many.

[@stepheniavarone9836]

Must be nice i haven’t gotten picked in 5 years been a Floridian my whole life

[@BS-Outdoors1320]

​​@@Daithlee There are a lot of gators in Lake Jessup, but lake Hancock in Polk county has some monsters size wise. Either place you could guarantee you're in a good spot You can look up Circle B Bar reserve. .

[@lisap3657]

My goodness this gave me so much anxiety watching you in the water Rob, all I kept thinking was ok he knows where the one is on the end of the rod but what if there’s another in the water where you were walking, I was sweating watching lol. Those kiddos got to make a memory that’ll last a lifetime! They are I’m sure going to be talking about it for months to come. When they are older and have kids of their own they’ll be able to tell their kids all about a once in a lifetime experience they got to have. You’re truly awesome Rob there’s is no other KZbinr like you! You never forget your fans and are always so welcoming to them. Thank you for taking us along! 🤩

[@geoffmckenzie2608]

Fantastically suspenseful! The pause button is right there so I can run to the bathroom, but noooooo! I'm stuck here biting my lip, crossing my legs, and having chills just to see this! THAT'S how you know it's DMFD! Robert, you are absolutely sine qua non! Great job bringing those kids along for the gator fight of a lifetime. They will no doubt be telling this "fish story" for decades to come.

[@deermeatfordinner]

Thank you so much for the kind words!!!!

[@ksmachinist3373]

That dude has raised some good young men there. Everyone was calm, cool, and listened to instructions. Gators were awesome, but seeing some young men out there doing work was the best.

[@WyattNErdy]

Regarding the dog with the bad leg: Get an Xray. My dog is a similar breed to yours and had the same limp with the same leg. Turned out to be ruptured ligaments in the knee, and she had to get a steel hinged plate put in, basically an artifical knee. She had to be put on limited to no rest for about 3 months. One thing though, because of the forced inactivity, the other knee might go out and you may need to get the same thing done to the other leg within about a year. Each surgery is about $5000....

Holy cow that's some high Water levels!!! How are things holding up in florida? Sending you all good vibes. Can't wait to come back and fish in may! Crazy gators man!

[@65Plmcrzy1]

I have watched, what seems like thousands of videos, you have put out, and I have enjoyed them in so many different ways. But this one brings back so many memories for me. As a young boy, I spent my summers on the Chassahowitzka River in Homosassa with my grandparents and family. Watching you climb in that water chasing those gators reminded me of days watching my grandfather and Great Uncle chasing them things and jumping in the river to wrestling them into the boats. I sat here laughing at the craziness and remembering the old days. Those boys will have a memory that will stick with them for the rest of their lives, cause I can guarantee they've never watched a man jump in the water chasing a gator like you just did. I love it.

[@raybrdjr]

ROBERT YOU ARE AMAZING TO INCLUDE FANS WHO RECOGNIZE YOU IN ON THE HUNT! PROLLY THE BEST VIDEO FROM YOU I SEEN IN AWHILE! JUMPING OVERBOARD....... SWAMP PEOPLE AINT GOT NOTHING ON THIS VIDEO!! HAHA !

Great effort! We had one like this on Lake Jesup this year, caught with one of your prepped chickens (Cornish hens stuffed with Great Stuff). We had to go under logs, around trees, but STAYED IN THE BOAT :) Super fun video, thanks for sharing.

[@alissonjalil4729]

They you for spelling Lake Jesup correctly!!! That lake has some of the biggest around bc of its history!!!

[@Turnerbaitandtackle]

Hey DMFD I’m not sure if you remember but you helped me with getting my muzzleloader sighted in by telling me how many inches high to be about 1” low at 150 yards…and you were right that I would get a shot within 100yards… I shot a 8pt at 30 yards Sunday morning 😂😂 it was public land and I’ve got pictures in my community post on my channel but I just wanted to say thank you TGBTG🫡💙

[@deermeatfordinner]

That is AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

[@Turnerbaitandtackle]

Thank you

[@patriciasmith7074]

I have always said that making alligators endangered and just leaving that forever is insane. The females produce tons of babies. When I was a child in the 40’s and 50’ the only good thing to do with alligators was to make a great pair of pumps and handbags and all of the fashionistas had them. They eat everything and it is time to get them off of the endangered list, the other animals are endangered now. Why do they so over protect the gators? Boy that was a lot of line.

[@Baby9inee]

Beacauss it’s better to not wait until their numbers are in the 1000s to start caring abt saving em. They’re ancient creatures dawg they got more of a right to this land than all of us 😂

[@Lifewiththeredmons]

Brother I gotta thank you last year you gave me some advice about hunting public land and I stuck it out put in the effort and got a doe and a small buck this morning my camera had a massive buck on it so hopefully he decides to come back through. My health issues keep me from going too far into the woods. I have two smaller 6 points on cam. It's few and far between but so rewarding when I do stock the freezer. I killed my first buck in 15 yrs. last year I and maybe this year will get my largest.

@ Deermeatfordinner, I just stumbled on yr channel. That was a great team effort to score another gator.

[@DogDudeDrone]

While watching this I just couldnt stop saying WTF ROB!?!?! But I also had a fond memory come into mind of the mighty ducks in the very first movie where the owner drives the kids on ice because he knew it was safe, kind of like Rob knew it was safe to get in the water since the gators were so spooked there were probably none around when they were so close with a boat. Still though Florida dudes are different lol put it on a shirt. That other Dad driving his boat and Robs lol yall are wild!

[@deermeatfordinner]

He did a great job driving and helping out! It’s funny because we didn’t even have time to introduce ourselves until after we had the gator. That was about 2 hours! I’m sure we’ll do more together!!
