Book A Trip To Go Hunting For Alligators

By Deborah Wagner


Many people enjoy outdoor pursuits such as hunting and will book trips to hunt game. The best way to get the most out of a trip is to use the services of a company that specializes in sporting trips. If you plan to book a trip to go hunting for alligators it is advisable to do some research on the options that are available to you.

There are a number of states that issue official gator hunting licenses including Texas, Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana. Hunts are monitored which allows authorities to control gator numbers and it is imperative that you use an established firm to organize your trip. The most common way to cull the gators is by using guns, bows or lines and hooks.

You are able to find a licensed company to organize your gator hunt by searching a few places. Companies advertise in newspapers and in sporting magazines and your local gun club may also be able to help. If you have arrived in an area where hunting is legal but have not yet booked you may find the contact details for a company in local guest houses.

The majority of companies that arrange gator hunts will have a website and these are a useful place to learn about the trips. You can look at the trips that are available as well as checking prices. Many websites will post pictures and video footage of previous hunts which you may find useful. If you need to contact a web based company you can call or email them before making your booking.

Prior to booking a hunt it is advisable to speak to a few specialists and ask for prices in order to compare them. On top of the costs of the hunt you may need to think about accommodation and travelling expenses. When you have worked out the total costs of the trip you can go ahead and book your alligator hunt.

The costs of hunting alligators will depend on the company you use, the trip booked and how many people are on the hunt. The prices charged will usually include the hunt, transfers to the boat, a packed lunch and water or soft drinks. You may also have to pay to hire bows or firearms unless you take your own weapons and the company will inform you of these costs.

Most of the trips involve you, a group of people and a guide on a boat where you will spend the day shooting or bow hunting gators. Many companies also offer private trips where it will be just you and your guide on your own boat. These private trips are more expensive but you do get the full attention of the guide and it is a rewarding experience.

Many companies that organize hunts will also offer souvenirs of your trip. Many companies will sell you a photo or DVD of the days hunt or you may have the option to take home some fresh alligator meat. If you have had a good experience on the trip it may help others if you post some comments on the firm's web pages.
