Not me but google is your friend
I have googled there are tons of options but would prefer some first hand knowledge if anyone has done it. Looks like a few say guaranteed which makes me think it’s some kind of enclosed high fence type hunt. I don’t think alligator is a Really challenging hunt but don’t want a “canned “ hunt either. Anyways not asking for anybody’s guided alligator “honey holes” 😂 was hoping somebody had some first hand experience even if it’s what not to do

I’d call the guide services and ask them to explain it, then look for a Florida hunting forum and confirm.

They’ve gone from endangered to so overpopulated that there is commercial take, all in the last 4 decades. Guaranteed might mean there are just that many alligators.

I was on temporary assignment in Cape Canaveral a few years ago. I never went on a gator hunt but looked into it for my dad. There are a lot of Gators, any patch of water can hold one in the spring when the males are cruising. I took a pig I shot into these guys to make some sausage. Talked to them a little about their Gator hunts. Seamed like good guys. You really just have to decide how big of one do you want.

I’d love to try alligator hunting. I want to try the meat. Sorry I don’t know anything about it, though.
Like a lot of things, it tastes like chicken. It's finicky and real easy to dry it out if you don't cook it right.

Holy Smokes. The head size on that alligator is amazing. Rifle hunt? How far away for the shot?
You could shoot one and probably get 100 yards or less from them although you have a pretty small target.They go down once they see you and disappear under water. We chose the bring them in with fishing poles just really heavy duty spinning rods. It’s quite the fight

Just realized I never answered the dispatch question. Stabbed it with a knife. Surprised it’s very quick way to take a gator out if you hit a specific spot behind the head on the back
