PUBLIC WATERS HUNTS

We secure several of the Public Waters permits each year in the State of Florida. This hunt allows you to harvest 1 alligator 6 foot or larger. During our 2011 hunts we had a 10ft average and continued our 100 % success rate harvesting over 80 alligators in 10 weeks. As with all of our alligator hunts this hunt is a no-shot no-pay hunt. These are night hunts only and therefore are conducted out of an airboat or bay boat using a harpoon or crossbow. These hunts are very limited, and therefore, they are on a first come, first serve basis. The cost of this hunt is $1250.00 and requires a $250.00 non-refundable deposit at the time of booking. A trophy fee of $250.00 per foot will apply to any alligator harvested 9 ft or greater in length (9 ft - $250; 10 ft - $500; 11 ft - $750...etc). These hunts are usually completed in one night; however, occasionally they will take two.

Not included in the price of your hunt a $25.00 per ft processing fee ($100.00 additional fee for trophy skins). All of our gators are processed at a licensed and inspected processing plant. You can expect your hide to be scraped, salted, and rolled for transport. Your meat will be defatted, cut, cubed, and vacuum-sealed in 2.5-lb bags. Additionally, you will be required to purchase an Alligator Trapping Agents License for $51.50. Shipping, handling, and coolers are not included in the price of your hunt.
