Hunt One of Florida’s Most Iconic Predators
Florida is home to one of the most sought-after hunting targets in the U.S.—the American alligator. At Far2Low Outfitters, we specialize in Florida gator hunts during the peak alligator season, which runs from August through October. These months offer optimal weather, increased gator movement, and prime opportunities for both day and night hunting trips. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned hunter looking for a challenge, our hunts are structured to fit your skill level and schedule.
Alligator hunting in Florida is highly regulated, and that's why guided alligator hunts are the safest and most effective way to succeed. At Far2Low Outfitters, we provide everything you need—tags, gear, boats, and expert guidance—so you can focus on the hunt. Most gator activity spikes during warm evenings, especially in August and September, making nighttime hunts a top choice for serious hunters. For families and newcomers, we also offer daytime hunts that are educational, exciting, and always legal and ethical.
If you’re after a trophy alligator hunting experience, we target gators 9 feet and larger in select North Florida waterways known for producing giants. Our scouting, equipment, and local expertise give you the best possible shot at landing a true Florida monster. Now’s the time to plan your North Florida gator trip—slots fill up fast each season, and tags are limited. Reach out to Robby Farlow and the Far2Low crew to reserve your spot today.
Frequently Asked Questions About Florida Gator Hunts
How long is the Florida alligator hunting season?
The Florida gator hunting season typically runs from mid-August through early November, with the best hunts occurring in August and September when gators are most active after dark. Book early, as these dates are the most requested.
What’s the best time of day to hunt alligators?
While alligators can be hunted day or night, night hunts are often more successful due to increased movement and visibility using spotlighting techniques. We customize each trip based on the season and your comfort level.

We use a mix of proven methods depending on conditions—harpoons, fishing rods with snatch hooks, and bang sticks are the most effective. Our team handles setup and instruction, ensuring every hunter knows exactly what to do.
