Bob is a fully licensed USCG Captain. He has been hunting trophy gators in the world-renowned Lake Okeechobee and surrounding areas for over 40 years with a very high success rate. When looking for that memorable hunt of a lifetime, don’t hesitate to call as tags and dates are limited.

Florida’s alligator population has been on the rise for decades; at least one million gators live throughout the state of Florida, with some biologists estimating that number is closer to two million. This increase is due to conservation efforts by hunters and environmentalists to protect the gators habitat and numbers. This protection has led to an abundance of alligators that need controlling. Gator hunting season is therefore a busy time for hunters in Florida. Florida gator hunting is open from August 15th through November 1st and is one of the most popular choices for both the local hunters and visitors from out of state.

Trophy fees apply to alligators over 9’11“ in length. Gators over 10’0" in length are considered trophy animals; we work hard to get you an opportunity to harvest one of these magnificent creatures. We have had numerous satisfied clients over the years that have harvested gators over 9’0“ including many over l2”0“.
