Gator Hunting Is A Florida Tradition
Gator hunting, for many, is a misunderstood tradition. It's far from just trophies. It's about ensuring the health of Florida's environment and its inhabitants—also putting some incredible meat in the fridge. Alligators, once driven to the brink of extinction, have made a remarkable comeback. But to maintain this balance, population management like hunting is necessary. Gator tags are highly coveted and are obtained through a lottery system. Each year we get tags for public land hunts and these hunts fill up quick!

Gator Hunting Seasons
Public and Private Land Hunts
The statewide public land gator hunting season runs from August 15-November 8, with the first four weeks divided into quota weeks. The open period runs from September 12-November 8. We also hunt "problem" gators on private ranch land where they raise safety concerns for livestock. We work with the state to hunt and remove problem gators from private properties and urban areas.
Florida Gator Hunting Tactics
The Best Gear Paired With The Best Guides
Gator hunting tactics vary based on the type of gator hunting we're doing. From hunting with rifles on private property to hunting with harpoons on airboats, our tactics are as diverse as the waterways this iconic species inhabits. Regardless of the type of hunt, our main focus is ensuring you have a safe and unforgettable experience.
Where We Hunt
Welcome To The Swamp
The Everglades and the sprawling expanse around Lake Okeechobee offer an unparalleled habitat for alligators. It's a maze of interconnected waterways, sawgrass marshes, and cypress swamps that provide the perfect ecosystem for these ancient reptiles to thrive. Join us for a hunt and come see a side of Florida you never knew existed.
