I agree with you about how pretty the ponds and property are. Did you know that bald cypress does not have growth rings and the knees from the roots only grow in fluctuating water levels? Cypress grows about one foot per 100 years.

As TLC might say, "[I'll] stick to the [gator-free] rivers and lakes that I'm used to [here in the 864]." 😄 There's something satisfying about watching these videos. Thanks for sharing, and stay safe down there!

🎶 Every breath you take, And every move you make, Every bond you break, Every step you take, I'll be watching you 🎶🐊 And to top it off, an old abandoned little dinghy on the shoreline😱🤣 Great job Gavin. Take care & cheers🐨🦘🥰

Great cleanup! Same feeling like when you walk up on a snake in the yard…..sure as hell wasn’t expecting that!!! LOL If he would have come up on the bank Munchie would have made him back up!! Thanks for posting the video!

OMG! That transformation was great! With the music, too, it was great! Absolutely beautiful job!

This is my absolute favorite of your videos! The 2 1/2 minute outro was awesome!! I loved it.

Thank you for your reply. Love your videos. "Scare the crap out of me", "scares the hell out of me" and "kinda scares me" are not all equivalent. The third expression is much less intense then the first two. Great videos.

I enjoy your videos. Love seeing you chop down the brush and trees. You really are good at your job. So neat.

Beautiful filming on that intro. And great cleanup! What a great pond to work on.

A good scare is good for the heart. Keeps the blood flowing. Makes you regular. Good video.

The hydraulic pumps have greatly improved since 1999. I for a R.R. contactor and used a 690L that had another engine just to run the hydraulic pump for the barrel shredder. Fun job it was to bad the 9-11 bull snot shutdown that nice pay check. Besides the company closing. Have fun, use the seatbelt, and keep the the top hatch closed so no critters fall in your lap. We had two operators have cottonmouths come visit. Many times opening the door to have 1 or 2 looking eye to eye. It scared to snot out of ya even when you thought you were ready. I do enjoy watching and hearing that barrel spin. Lord be with y'all and blessing each day.

Another great video buddy!

This is a beautiful place here love all the sunshine 🌞 there... what is the location of this place 🤔. Sir please be careful when you have to take munchies through a🐍 pond trail or 🐊swap or pond please please close your door on muchies at all times...i was scared when you point out there 🐊right there omgosh if i was there i would of grab you and jumped inside of munchies 🤣 and closed the door i thought for a second that he was gonna come out of water..im scary of them type of dangerous animals..but you did a beautiful job as always..so good luck on your next assignment 😀. 👍🏽😊

Beautiful property. I love all the Spanish Moss.

Beautiful lake, and you did a good job.

Nice work! Always impressed with how that machine totally transforms a property.

Absolutely beautiful, job well done did a an amazing job 👏

You do Nice Work way to go!!!

Looks awesome brother. It is a beautiful piece of land.

It ain't the machine they are responding to. It's the debris you're kicking off into the water. The vibration is what it's coming to. Water + movement = food.

Nice job bro. Looks good. Beautiful property like you said. Gator in the pond was crazy! Must’ve been a winter gator lol. Be well friend. Big Al.

The sound of the machine is either similar to their mating calls or some kind of territorial noise they make to scare off intruders of their own species.

Nice job! Great pond, too!

Good video, keep doing what your doing and carry on,kudos.😎😎😎👍👍👍

Now that was fun! Trail Blazing and a gator investigating his turf!👍🏻💚

"Hey you have a gator in your pond." Owner, "Oh that's John. I forgot to tell you about that." "Who?" Owner, "his name is John Deere." "Well that sums it all up."

Nice work!

Munchie versus Gator

THAT!!!! IS ONE AMAZING TOOL👍

hi from the uk, great job

The stuff splashing in the water is what attracts the gators. They think that it is a distressed animal. Hence a food source. Also with all the overgrowth that area is probably where he would get out of the water to sun. They don't stay in the water 24/7. Also it has been a pretty warm winter. Reptiles hibernate when it is cold. Cooler weather will slow them down but it has not been cold enough to really cause any lengthy hibernation this year.

You're good with those controls.

Kubota snack, probably scaring prey to waters edge. Good job looks great! I know your not a Dawg fan but you had to be pulling for them.

Beautiful place!..

What a wonderful experience and place to work,

Wow 🤩

No worries, Munchies teeth are bigger than the gators :)

That Gator was awesome. Beautiful place. So much Spanish Moss.

I think the gator likes the hum of your machine.

Palmetto State has an app for that pond goblin. Hard to imagine a pond that size and age, wouldn't at least have a migratory population. Kablamski!

Ya reckon he's hungry lol

That's a huge gator, and that pond is very big.

Sorry about the gator. Pond looks amazing.

holy gator ! 🇺🇲

It beautiful

Beautiful lake for sure minus that gator!!! Ugh!!

Aww! that is just a baby! I'm sure he would not be able to chew through your leg! Only thing is where are mom and pop!

Great video, let's do some spicy gator tail, I love that stuff.

That gator is looking for frogs fish and small rodents that run from munches noise .they like to hide on the tall grass and trees.LA, Rick.

It's the vibration from the mulcher it's a mating thing of some kind

❤️❤️❤️

They love marshmallows

Mulch that gator and all the snakes...👍 I don't like pit vipers. Gators taste good. It's probably illegal to hurt anything. In Idaho, you can kill pretty much anything if it's on your land. Especially snakes.

He probably come up because all the disturbance of stuff hitting the water attracting him thinking something was in the water.

it is the vibration of the machines engine that attracts them

Make some Gator jerky out of him or her !

Gators will move from pond to pond following the food, crossing big fields..

Does the owner eventually pull out all branches off the pond?

I am no gator expert or anything of the sort, so, this is just spitballing, but, I think he have have thought the debris from the mulcher was small critters jumping into the water. I do know, the older, and bigger they get, the smarter they get, or the more accustomed to people they get, or even the less afraid of people they get.

is there plenty of food for the gator!!

I wonder if it might be mistaking the sound for a prey animal in difficulty at waters edge.

That gator isn’t going to nothing to you , if it does your by it’s nest!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Qhere are you located?

What pond don't have a gator in it in that part of the world

Take him home for a pet your wife will love it be safe out there

If the gator "scares the crap out of you" why would you get even closer to the animal? Doesn't make a great deal of sense.

The alligator may have wanted to show you how he wanted the pond done.

Respectively you are nuts, swaps, snakes, and alligators are not for me. :) The site looks awesome after the clean up. Have a great day.

It seems to me that you hate pine trees. You cut down every big beautiful pine and leave those ugly scraggily trees. I wonder why......
