  • Sport Gator Hunt: While being a part of your aligator hunt Florida, you can cruise the marshes on an airboat. This is one of the safest ways to spot your 7-8 ft target. In the end, just secure a gator with an arrow or harpoon.

  • Trophy Gator Hunt: During our Fl alligator hunting trip, you can hunt giants in the 10-11 ft range. With the help of our Grizzly 18 ft boat, you can travel vast distances and encounter numerous gators.

  • Fishing for Gators: This is a unique twist on FL gator hunting, which involves fishing for your trophy by using attractive bait (rotten hog lungs). 

  • Ethical & Efficient: You can easily secure your gator with a harpoon or crossbow. For a humane dispatch, we recommend using a bang stick.
