$8.12/ft for prime hides is what I saw advertised last week. The storm might push it up a bit, but $10/ft would be my guess.

The price per foot varies greatly depending on the size of the hide. Look on LDWF website for buyers in east zone ( season opened today) and call and ask prices. I can't imagine this storm will affect prices at all. In fact I am excited because I am hoping the extra water will allow me to get a few places I usually can't fish.

That seems pretty low. Haven't hunted them in a few years though. Lowest I've seen it go was $12/ft.

Alligators under 7 foot have been pretty worthless the last couple of years. The major buyer sent out a mailer this year saying that the money will be in the meat. Pretty much said if you bring in just a hide the price will not be good.

I'll take that. Hopefully they hold up for the next couple of weeks.
