Nicole Jones Reeve’s 900 Pound Alligator with Her Bow

Finally, the alligator popped-up on the surface about 50-yards away. All we could see was the alligator’s eyes, and his mouth to the end of his nose. I had been told the best place to shoot an alligator was right between the eyes. If I couldn’t get that shot, I was to shoot a few inches behind the eyes. I got as steady as I could get and took the shot.

A 60 Inch Wide Moose for Nicole Jones Reeve

Because we were hunting post-rut, Joel wasn’t sure we’d be able to get close enough to use my bow or if I’d have to use my Thompson/Center rifle. Pat and I both had moose tags, but Pat wanted me to hunt first, since I never had shot a moose. We had a 1-1/2-hour truck ride from Joel’s house, then a 5-hour 4-wheeler ride to get to the boat, then a 30-minute ride to reach the

Nicole Jones Reeve: Driven to Hunt

Pat Reeve and Nicole Jones, the hosts of “Driven with Pat & Nicole” on the Outdoor Channel, have been married since June, 2012. They don’t hesitate to look danger in the face and never flinch. They rely heavily on their Mossy Oak camo to make them appear to be invisible to the critters they hunt. At 110 pounds and looking like a fashion model, Nicole is the last person you’d expect to stalk a lion,

Nicole Jones and Her African Lion Hunt

When I put my hands on my lion, I almost went limp. I was emotionally and physically drained. As we stalked the lion, my adrenaline really amped-up. When I drew and took the shot, I had to override that adrenaline and make sure I went through my shot sequence correctly. Then when the lion jumped and ran away, all that adrenaline was reloaded.

Pat Reeve and Nicole Jones Bow Hunt for African Cape Buffalo

After hunting water buffalo in Australia, I wanted to hunt cape buffaloes with my bow. More people are killed by Cape buffaloes than any other dangerous-game animal in Africa. On the first day of the hunt, Frikkie explained, “These cape buffaloes move in herds. We have to find a herd, pick out a shootable bull and then get close enough for you to get a bow shot without being seen or smelled.”

Nicole Jones’ Water Buffalo Bull

“We’ve got to get in the river and stalk up the river to where we’ve seen the bull.” Just before we got in the water, we saw a killer crocodile. The water was up to our waists. We waded about 100 yards, and George peeked over the bank to see where the bull was. He told us to stay in the water, so he could crawl up the bank and look for the bull. Before
