I watched this embedded earlier this morning (first one in a loooong time). Unfortunately Dustin wasn't in it that I could tell (fast forward it). The ending was cool.

Fun fact, after hurricane Rita I drove airboats to help clean up the refuges (my trucking business was no more). I continued to drive airboats for seismograph crews among other things. If it wasn't for the neck and back surgeries I'd still be doing it. A lawyer friend of mine I went to school with owns Marshland Equipment Rentals. He paid really good too, more than what people would think.


PS: Please dear God let Dustin win. Lol
 
Last bit with Max was pretty cool. I'd love to do such a tour aswell. Always thought crocs/gators are pretty cool :oops::rolleyes: would not try that though

Nice! I was looking for something to listen to while I work out. About to start my warm-up.

@Poirierfan Thanks a lot for the photos! These are some legit monsters :oops: :eek: wow! Also didn't know you were into hunting and going after these folks.
I actually grew up in the marsh hunting and trapping Nutria and Gators since I could walk. My dad built be my first mud boat when I was 12, that's when I started trapping on my own. Wasn't till the hurricane in 2005 that we moved up north a little. My nephews stayed. I don't go no more. I once caught the biggest alligator in the parish, wildlife and fisheries gave me a plaque. Lol, I still have it. I kept how I caught it a secret, pretty crazy story and not totally legal. Ha

Cheers for the write-up my friend. Interesting stuff. That sounds pretty cool. And the area in the swamps... different world. Can't imagine being out there. Especially as we don't have anything like that over here incl the (dangerous) animals. Proper wildlife.
 
I remember Vettori training at Kings, AKA, Xtreme Couture, and I guess he used to train in Italy. And now he trains at ATT
He might be one of the fighters who switch teams the most often
 
He's starting again, Note how he carefully uses the word Croc or Alligator to cover up what he really means. I thought I could come in here and watch a nice episode of UFC embedded and see Dustin for his last fight, but oh no we're again faced with this Dinosaur stuff. I'm sick to the back teeth of it all

We would bite him if we didn't love him so much

I do this any time I see an animal yawn. Dogs love it, cats think I'm an idiot, guinea pigs get angry I'm not a vegetable.
