Alligator Hunting in Florida

Alligator Hunting Florida operates three massive private properties packed with gators—no public land crowds, no competition, no excuses. You're hunting where the big ones live, not where they've been shot out.

You can expect to see 5 to 25 alligators a day ranging from 5 feet to 13+ feet. Sizes available:

Non-hunters can join for $195.

Daytime hunts (recommended): Spot-and-stalk on land or by boat, rifle/handgun only by law. You're shooting at a 4-inch target on a moving animal—steady hand required, sometimes multiple shots needed. Guides use fishing poles with large treble hooks to snag and fight the gator in.

Night hunts: Harder to judge size, but legal. Spotlights, crossbow, bang stick, or fishing pole. No firearms allowed by law at night. Fighting a gator on 200-pound braided line is compared to landing a great white shark.

Rifle (daytime only), handgun, bow, crossbow, bang stick, muzzleloader, spear, or fishing pole. Bring your own or use theirs. Lead-tip bullets recommended; avoid military full metal jacket, hollow points, and ballistic tips on gators.

Hunts happen by 4x4 truck, ATV, airboat, or swamp buggy depending on property, water level, party size, and season. They have a 25-200 yard sighting-in range at their exotic ranch to dial in before you hunt.

Hunt 7 days a week, any time of day or night on private land. They'll accommodate your schedule. No time limit on your hunt day.

Florida hunting agent license required: $52 (not included in hunt pricing). They'll text you a link or phone number to get licensed—stress-free process.

A client from Denmark spent over 90 minutes fighting a 10'9", 500-pound gator on a Penn spinner before making a perfect AR shot. A group of four left with an 11-footer, an 8-footer (308 rifle), and a 7-footer (spear kill).
