Recreational Gator season

Will it get passed for the upcomming season? Allain's proposal for a bill adding 10,000 lotto tags went through without opposition.

Let people take as many as they want. Louisiana is covered up with gators.

Yeah, ain’t good for anything except boots.

This needs to happen, we are overrun with them, should be 20000 tags

I saw a recent article that said our population is around 3 million.
They need to up these recreational tags and stop making farms return a certain percentage back to wild.
They are a beyond fully recovered animal.

No different than nutria now, our state let them get away from them.
You could half the gators and get a min of 20% bump annually from the farms. Wild skin value is about zero today due to farms. Fat Bob needs to do a better job managing the farms and eliminate the 20% release to 0%.

Head of WLF is all for it, hes a friend of friend and I spoke to him about it last summer. If it goes through we cant make it to where all alligators must go to a processor like it is commercially. Let people do what they want them.

Must have seen 25-30 recently fishing.

What’s the quietest way to get rid of an 8 footer? Say one in a neighborhood pond.

You can do what you want with tagged gators now, just have to fill out the same paperwork that the processor would telling them where it ended up.

Call WLF. They have a list of trappers that will come do it. They can get a nuisance tag.

How in the world is this going to work if you can't use a boat?
I saw a quote from a news article that said "you have to be on riparian land" "you cannot harvest these things from a boat" - Sen. Robert Allain

Never happen, alligator farm Baws don’t want to keep feeding those lizards. Gators are coonass diamonds, limit farm supply to keep the floor elevated.

I looked at the Bill (SB244) and did not see anything limiting it to land based; that would be absurd if that was a condition.

What I dont like about it is a bunch of drunk retarded coonasses shooting rifles on the water.

Ya don’t need a 300 win for them either

Something needs to be done. Not only are there way too many, the ones the farms let go don't give a shite!
I was fishing last weekend and they were on almost every log that was possible to lay on. They not scared of boats the least bit. I had one come up to the boat, I hit it on the head with my rod, and it never even flinched or cared.
Go out frogging and you will see how many they really have, red eyes as far as you can see. Sometimes 30-40 in a single pond all 3-5ft long.

It's amazing Spring Bayou has any fish at all. In late March/April, you can walk across the complex on gator backs.
Posted on 3/17/26 at 11:18 am to Sparty3131
I agree 100% but I doubt this passes. This is going to come down to where the general public can fish gators. It'll be another public water issue & we all know how that goes for us.
