Questions About Gator Hunting Re: Swamp People
Posted on 5/23/11 at 3:31 pm

1. What determines which hunter gets the rights to a specific section of river to hang lines at?
2. Do the hunters have to buy the tags?
3. What determines how many tags a hunter is issued?
4. How much money would a hunter get at market on average for a six foot 300lb gator versus a 12 foot 700lb gator?
I'll hang up and listen.

1. Landowner determines who gets the tickets
2. If they are not the landowner then they buy the rights to hunt the land (with tags)
3. roughly 1 tag per 100 acres, depending on habitat quality/type
4. I have no clue, depends on price that year and a lot of other things
ETA: I am no expert gator hunter nor do I work for LWF

I am not to familiar with one and four but as to 2&3 the state issues tags to land owners with qualifying wetlands. Tags are based on habitat with certain types of wetlands getting more tags per area. Where we used to hunt it was one tag per 100 acres. As a land owner you can choose to sell your tags to a licensed trapper if you wish.

Answer to number one is property owner/leasee of land.
Answer to number 4= supply and demand. Alligators weren't worth much this past year. I think >8foot got about 16-18 per foot. <8 12-14 per foot. Some buyers also look at the quality of skins. Like how many bullet holes some of these jackasses put in the skin.

6' gators are not 300lbs. Not even close.
A 700 pound gator like they like to say is fricking huge.
