If you are looking for an adventure, this is it! This gator hunt takes place on private property just outside the town of Anahuac, Texas, known as the "Gator Capital of Texas". This is where Texas Gator Fest is held each year, and folks come from all around to see who can bag the biggest gator!
On this trip, you'll use the traditional hook-and-line method, but if you're interested in bowhunting please let us know.

A typical hunt consists of our guests showing up the afternoon before to set lines, then waiting overnight before going out to check them first thing in the morning. If you prefer, the guide can set your lines, and all you have to do is drive down once your gator is on the line. Once dispatched, we will load your gator and take it to the local processor, or you may take it to your own preferred processor wherever that may be. We scout daily to try and locate the best gators and bait sites, and provide the best chance of success for our customers.
Processing and tanning options can be purchased at the processor.
There is a lodging fee of $175 for each non-hunting guest.
There is a trophy fee for gators over 9 feet long, priced at $50/inch.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.
Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
