Martin's Louisiana Alligator Hunts

Martin's Louisiana Alligator Hunts is a family operation based in Franklin, Louisiana, about 45 miles from Lafayette or 95 miles from New Orleans. They've been hunting alligators in south Louisiana for over 50 years and bring three generations of expertise to every hunt.

Hunts are conducted via hook and line according to Louisiana State Law across their 10,000+ acres of marshland and waterways. You participate in the entire process:

• •Setting and checking bait lines
• •Pulling lines when you hook a gator
• •Taking the shot
• •Retrieving and tagging your harvest

Free-ranging alligators mean you can't guarantee size, but 7-10 feet are almost assured. Their clients have harvested up to 13-foot gators. They maintain a 100% success ratio.

50% non-refundable deposit due at booking; remaining 50% due 30 days prior. Corporate and family outings available upon request.

Our guides have over 80 years of combined alligator hunting experience.

They emphasize that population control through responsible, ethical hunting is essential for maintaining a healthy Louisiana alligator population. The hunt is designed around working alongside professionals who understand the resource and the waterways.
