Post by: boneaddict on March 25, 2014, 02:45:06 AM: What do you get to bring home from this hunt besides some dang good memories. Skull? hide? meat? What is normal? I had gator when I was down in FLorida a couple years ago. I liked it. Can you ship the meat home? :yike: Probably costs more than the dang hunt. :chuckle:

Post by: fungatorhunts on March 25, 2014, 03:49:57 AM: The way we work it (which benefits the hunter) is we take the gator to our processor which estimates the amount of meat that gator will render and gives it to you in a cooler. You can usually fly back the amount of meat he gives you. Also if interested in taxidermy services we have a taxidermist that will pick up the gator from processor and complete whatever you would like and ship it to you. Those are the easiest ways. The meat you receive is from previous hunters gator and the next person would get yours, unless you would like to wait and pay for the shipping on your gator meat. The taxidermy services are of your actual gator.

Post by: Machias on March 25, 2014, 04:01:18 AM: Hmm I have to drop my daughter off in Orlando in May, I might just have to book me a hog/gator hunt. How's a typical hunt play out? What do most folks harvest their gator with?
Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: RadSav on March 25, 2014, 04:19:15 AM: My buddy Del DelMastro filmed his gator hunt down there earlier this year. Maybe end of last year...I can't remember. Maybe I'll have him send a copy or link so I can post it. He said it was a short hunt, but extremely exciting.

That is my custom Anarchy in the photo. When he sent it back to me it had a note taped to it, "This bow is now knighted 'The Gator Killer!" :chuckle:

Sport Gators are up to 8ft and trophies start at 9'6....

I'm interested in a gator/hog combo. What if I get a gator that is 8'1" to 9'5"?

Also, what times of the year do you book trips?

Is it possible to do this during the Osceola Turkey season?

What is the average size and quality of harvested game on the sportgator/hog package?
Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: 92xj on March 25, 2014, 02:51:53 PM: I'm also interested in doing a hunt.
How many hunters can you have at a time? Any package deals for multiple hunters? Success rate?
Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: bearpaw on March 25, 2014, 02:53:06 PM: Depending on how many hunters they can handle, it might be fun to do a H-W group hunt.

Post by: jackmaster on March 25, 2014, 04:47:46 PM: What are some of the ways you can kill them gators? Can you spear one? I would love to spear one and a hog, the 4 legged kind fellas :chuckle:

Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: fungatorhunts on March 25, 2014, 05:08:02 PM: 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!!

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.
Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: fungatorhunts on March 25, 2014, 05:45:16 PM: 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?
Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: bigelk1030 on March 25, 2014, 08:29:38 PM: Tagging, This hunt sounds like fun time.
Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: fungatorhunts on March 26, 2014, 12:57:52 PM: 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...

Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: Bean Counter on March 26, 2014, 01:48:44 PM: It looks like Bearpaw asked but sorry if I missed the answer: are these hunts year round? Or only a specific time frame?
Title: Re: Alligator Hunting in Florida
Post by: fungatorhunts on March 26, 2014, 02:00:44 PM: 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....

I'm already over on the east coast so it's only a 14 hour drive for me and my Mom lives just north of Orlando. So if anyone needs a place to stay we could stay at my Mom's place for a night or two.

How far are you guys from Orlando? Couple of hours?

I'm wanting to do this too! I am leaning toward a Gator/Hog/Osceola combo next March for about 5 days to have plenty of time to get the Osceola? I don't think I have time this year and will have to plan well ahead.
