Florida Alligator Species

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
