PHOTO: Birdman and Haslem went gator hunting

If you've ever wondered what Chris Andersen spends his offseason doing, well, here's your answer. 

The Birdman is one of the most intriguing figures in sports, and a day in the life of a man with insane tattoos and a consistently enjoyable stream of quotes is something we can only hope he lets us in on from time to time.

Monday was such a time, with Andersen posting photos from a recent gator-hunting trip with Miami Heat teammate Udonis Haslem.

Got a south Florida Dinosaur out of UD's back yard. Gator shoes with the belt to match!!
@ud40 showing @birdzilla.ro about those Florida Gators. Know'em talkin bout

Haslem also posted photos, adding a little additional context in his caption:

Gator hunting with the bash bro @birdzilla.ro. I spent hours studying swamp people for this special day. Got my 1st kill now I'm ready. @birdzilla.ro now it's time for some hog hunting homeboy.#zillaGotmeonmyoutdoorish

Andersen and Haslem have been teammates for three years, and they're only now knocking gator hunting - and apparently hog hunting (homeboy) - off their tag-team bucket list. Maybe missing the playoffs for a change wasn't all bad.

To be thorough, we asked around, and here's a full list of people surprised by the fact that Andersen is interested in things like gator hunting or hog hunting (homeboy):

And now, we're left to hope that one day we'll get the honor of engaging in some Gonzo journalism with Birdman as the subject.
