Majority of the reptiles in northern America are the alligators. They occur in masses in Louisiana within the United States of America. They abode the wetlands mainly along the coastline. When the number of alligators declined drastically, stalking was banned and was restarted after their number increased. However, for one to participate was required to fulfill certain set of requirements. Guided Gator Hunting in Louisiana has facilitated application of effective methods in balancing the population of alligators so that they fit within ecosystem appropriately.

During the stalking season the residents of Pierre Park, LA city participate in large numbers.
