Alligator Hunts
We hunt from an airboat at night. I supply all equipment needed to harvest your alligator. You will be using a crossbow with a laser sight and harpoons. During the hunt, I will be guiding you through wireless headsets. We ride through the marsh looking for the gator you want to take. I guarantee you an opportunity on at least a seven foot gator. In order to hunt you will need alligator tags. I recommend that you apply for your own tags . I put in for tags , but don’t always have tags available. I can walk you through the process of applying if you want. The application phase is usually the first part of May. The season starts Aug. 15th through Nov.1st. You can contact me with any questions or to book a hunt. Prices: $700.00 to take 2 gators, on your tags, in 1 night.
$1,800.00 to take 2 gators, on my tags, in 1 night [when available]
$1,000.00 to take 1 gator on my tag, in 1 night [when available]

Duck and Snipe Hunts
For duck hunts, I meet you at the ramp at 4:30 am to 5:30 am. I will let you know what time and ramp, a day or two before your hunt. Hunts end when you shoot your limit or the ducks stop flying, usually around 10:00 am. I use an airboat or Tracker Grizzly boat with a mud motor. The boat depends on water depth, and where the ducks are. With the airboat, I can take 4 hunters. Using the Tracker Grizzly, I can take 3 hunters. I hunt with a dog when conditions permit. I have the decoys and a mojo. You will need chest waders if hunting from the airboat. All duck hunts require camo, shotgun with a plug in it, steel shot or nontoxic shot. A face mask or face paint is recommended. You will need a Florida hunting license, state waterfowl stamp, migratory bird permit, and a federal duck stamp. Snipe hunting is an afternoon upland-style hunt, available when lake conditions allow. You can contact me with any questions or to book a hunt.
The Price is $125.00 per hunter, per hunt

Airboat Tours
On our airboat tour we travel through various habitats on Lake Okeechobee. The airboat can seat 4 passengers comfortably. We use wireless headsets so you can talk or ask questions while running. We do daytime tours to see vistas, flowers and wildlife, or nighttime tours for star-gazing and gator watching. The tour usually lasts about 2 hours. Our airboat is not the typical tour boat. The seats are elevated and require some climbing. Tours are weather permitting. You can contact me with any questions or to book a tour.
The price is $200.00 for 1 to 4 people

Gigging
Frog gigging or tilapia gigging is a nighttime adventure from the airboat. Frog gigging is done from the seats of the airboat while idling through the marsh. Tilapia gigging is done from the bow of the airboat while idling. You wear a lighted baseball cap while gigging frogs or tilapia. We supply the gigs and headlamps. Up to 4 passengers per trip, but only 2 can gig at a time. A Florida fishing license is required to gig tilapia. Bring a cooler for your catch. Tilapia are a 3 to 5 pound fish; a 64 qt cooler will hold about 18 fish. Gigging trips are 3 to 4 hours long. You can contact me with any questions or to book a trip.
The price is $100.00 per person, 2 person minimum
