Independent Guide
With over 30 years of experience in the alligator industry, Terry started his outfitter in the early 2000’s. As an avid outdoorsman, he wanted to bring another exciting hunting opportunity to Florida. His role in the alligator business has allowed him to grow the outfitting service to the successful hunting experience it is today. Over the last 10 years, we (Keith and Kurt) have taken over managing the outfitting service from our dad. To this day, we still have one of the best reputations for trophy alligator hunts among experienced hunters all over the country. Word of mouth recommendations and repeat hunters are what we take pride in, as we strive to deliver the best hunting experience ever.

About Your Trip

Get ready for one of the most thrilling hunting experiences imaginable with Keith on an unforgettable alligator hunting adventure. Taking place on exclusive private properties, these hunts provide access to vast wetlands, winding canals, and expansive marsh systems that offer ideal habitat for healthy alligator populations and incredible hunting opportunities.

Unlike public land hunts, access to private ground allows Keith and his team to focus on productive areas where alligators thrive. These diverse habitats create
the perfect setting for exciting encounters and give hunters the opportunity to pursue some truly impressive reptiles in a wild and natural environment.

For many hunters, the highlight of the experience is the nighttime water hunt. Under the cover of darkness, you'll navigate the marshes searching for alligators using specialized equipment and techniques. Once a target is located, the adrenaline begins to build. Hunters use a bow, crossbow, and harpoon setup to make the initial shot, and once that arrow connects, the real excitement starts. Alligators are incredibly powerful animals, and the fight that follows is an intense test of patience, teamwork, and determination. The moment an alligator explodes into action after the shot is something you'll never forget.

Night hunts offer a unique atmosphere and are widely considered the most exciting way to pursue alligators. The combination of darkness, anticipation, and close-range action creates an experience unlike any other hunt in North America.

For those who prefer a more traditional hunting style, Keith also offers daytime stalk-and-shoot opportunities on land. These hunts involve spotting alligators and carefully working into position before taking your shot. This approach requires patience, stealth, and precision, providing a completely different but equally rewarding challenge.

Alligator hunting season runs from March through December, offering a long window of opportunity for hunters looking to experience this incredible pursuit. While successful hunts take place throughout the season, late summer and early fall are generally considered the prime months. During this time, alligators are highly active, and conditions often create excellent opportunities in the field.

The best hunting conditions typically occur during the dark of the moon, or new moon phase, when reduced moonlight often increases nighttime activity and improves overall hunting conditions. Keith carefully plans hunts around these seasonal and lunar factors to help maximize opportunities and create the best possible experience for his clients.

Whether you're a seasoned hunter looking for a new challenge or someone checking alligator hunting off your bucket list, Keith provides a safe, professional, and action-packed experience from start to finish. Join him for an incredible alligator hunt where private land access, exciting nighttime action, and one of North America's most unique game animals combine for an unforgettable adventure.
