About Your Trip

*This trip includes one 7'-7'11" Gator!*
Alligator hunting in Florida is not for the timid or faint of heart! Here we provide you with a safe, fun, and exciting alligator hunt year-round. We offer both private and public land alligator hunts.

On our private land hunts, we either hunt nuisance gators that are a threat to people or animals on close or surrounding ranches or in our private hunting preserve - which guarantees a harvest.

Our private land hunts are “spot and stalk” on a pond or canal. If we find a gator laying on a bank, we will try to sneak up as closely as possible to get a brain kill shot. The size of a gator’s brain is about the size of a golf ball. If we do not see one on a bank but in one of the ponds or canals, then it becomes alligator fishing. At that time the hunter will try to snag the gator and fight it on rod and reel until it tires out and surfaces. At that time, the hunter will take the shot at the gator on the surface. You can use rifle, handgun, bang stick or bow to harvest your alligator.

With our public land hunts, the hunter is required to either apply and draw a tag via a state lottery system or purchase a state public land tag from one of our guides when available and in season. These hunts take place on either an air boat or a flats boat with a seasoned gator hunting guide.

If you are successful and harvest your gator then we will be able to arrange for the processing of your meat and taxidermy service by a local licensed processor/taxidermist if desired.

About Your Guide

Ian H.

Outfitter

Our family has been blessed to have this slice of paradise for nearly a quarter of a century. We love to share publicly the natural fascination and joys of Florida’s great outdoors. Hunting and fishing is our family’s way of life and is rooted in our DNA dating back several generations.

We appreciate the reality of waiting several months out of a year to experience a hunting or fishing trip. Our goal is not to disappoint you here at our lodge and we will work hard ensuring your safety and that you thoroughly enjoy your adventure with us looking forward to returning.

No departure would be complete in leaving your adventure with us without harvested meat, a trophy mount, and terrific memories! An integral part of our adventures are the new friendships made during your stay with us!
