Mark Peterson is still in Florida and looking for gator number two. After being successful on the morning hunt with his Gunwerks, Mark adds the AMS big game bowfishing kit to his Mathews and heads back out to the swamps in search of his first gator with a bow.

Mark Peterson heads south to Florida after an alligator. On this adventure, Mark is toting his Gunwerks BlastR handgun as he hunts the swamps with his sights set on a big mature gator. Alligators are typically judged in the field by looking at the distance from their eyes to the tip of their nose. The rule of thumb is that they grow a foot in length every year until they are eight years old, then grown an inch per year after that. At 13 feet 3 inches, this old gator is one for the books.

Mark takes us back to 2016 on one of his first expeditions in Alaska hunting his first brown bear. This trip was filled with bad weather and long sits glassing on top of the mountain.

This week Mark heads to Queensland, Australia in search of a unique species, Hog deer. Hog deer have a typical appearance for species of the genus Axis. However, they differ from axis deer by their sturdy build and short faced appearance. On day one of their hunt, Mark lays eyes on his first Hog Deer. During their pursuit, a really good Black Buck appears over the horizon. They quickly make a move and Mark puts down an awesome Black Buck. The day is still young and the team decides to hit one more spot for a Hog Deer. Once they laid eyes on a bedded buck, they closed the distance and now it's a waiting game.
