Alligator Hunting in Florida

[fungatorhunts]

Hey guys, sorry it took me to get back to you guys, im going to try and answer everyones questions in this one post....

Jackmaster, we offer treble hook rod and reel  gator hunts, once he is tired out you may use a rifle, bow, or sure why not a spear..... the good thing about rodding him is, if hes injured he can not get away....  We do offer hog hunts with dogs that allows for knife, we do not do spearing on hogs for the reason its usually pretty thick brush and trying to carry spear through there has caused problems.....

Bearpaw We can handle as many hunters as needed.... We offer public land hunts as well as preserve hunts... The public land is done on an airboat and we are only able to handle 2 hunters on the airboat (we are in process of obtaining another airboat to handle 2 more hunts).... our cypress preserve has had as many has 5 hunters at one time...

92xj  as many hunters as needed can be handled on preserve hunt, and yes we do offer great discounts to multiple hunters, we have a 100 percent success rate on the preserve hunts, and 90 on airboats (if we are unsuccessful on airboats we proceed to the preserve for no extra cost)

Bearpaw if you get a gator that is in between the 8ft and 9'6 trophy class it is $500 below the trophy class, which would be 1695 (we just dont consider them sport or trophies) Average size on a sport gator is about 7'6 (if we end up on a smaller gator we have been doing this long enough to safely release and move on) our hogs on average are about 120lbs, we can book hunts year around as we are certified by FWC as nuisance control, any alligator hunter to hunt with us does need to obtain a florida hunting license (out of state is 46.50 for 10 days) as well as an alligator agent tag $52

xXLojackXx average sport gator is about 7'6 and trophy gator about 10'....

Feel free to contact me at 929-22GATOR for further info!!

And yes it is possible to do during Osceola season, we also offer Osceola hunts as well...... they are 1,100 for a one day hunt, 1,600 for two days and 2,000 for three days

I understand hunting can be up and down and depends greatly on the individual doing the hunting, if I am a fairly successful turkey hunter how many days do I need to have an 80% or better chance of getting an Osceola?

Do you offer a gator/hog/Osceola combo?

Check your messages, I sent you a message.

You would need about 2 days to be 80%, one day is really rough to try and get an osceola..... and its not something we specifically offer due to the restrictions on season of turkey but could definitely work out a better price for you

So it would be rare for a hunter to hunt 3 days without shooting at a bird?

I'm thinking March would be a good time and if I go that far that I should try to hunt Osceloa/Gator/Hogs all on one trip, how long is best to insure getting all three species?

Is there any opportunity for more than one hog?

Tagging, This hunt sounds like fun time.

[fungatorhunts]

It would definently be rare to not see a bird in three days but it has happened....  And i would plan on about 5 full hunting days to get all 3, as well as if we are seeing and stopping a good number of hogs we could do second hogs once everyone harvested one hog...

The hogs are with dogs?

I have a relative in Florida. Maybe I should book a trip now 

[vandeman17]

Can I come just to watch and drink beer? Never really had an interest in killing a gator but it sure would be fun to see. 

[Bean Counter]

It looks like Bearpaw asked but sorry if I missed the answer: are these hunts year round? Or only a specific time frame?

[fungatorhunts]

You may absolutely come watch and drink some beer!!! Aslong as you bring us some!! No but for real as far as i am aware we are the only outfitter that does not charge spectator fees, due to someone bring 6 spectators once we do charge $100 per after the first 2 spectators, aslong as its not out of hand like that ways we usually dont charge, we encourage you to bring friends and family to enjoy this fun time with you!!!  The only hunt that is not year round are the Turkeys, they are only aloud to be hunted in season....
