Texas Gator Hunting

Our gator hunts take place on the upper Texas Coast. Hunters use a hook and line, a bow and arrow or crossbow. These alligators are free-ranging, therefore we cannot guarantee a size, although 6' to 9' are typical lengths. A typical hook and line hunt consists of two steps. The first being setting the bait on your first day of arrival. The second being harvesting your alligator with your preferred weapon of choice: rife, pistol or shotgun. This is an exciting hunt and not for the faint of heart! The Texas Alligator Season is from September 10th to the 30th.

Let Fin & Fowl Outfitters take you on an adventure beyond your wildest dreams. We will take you deep into the Texas marshlands in search of these monster reptiles. It simply doesn’t get any wilder than this! We hunt these gators using johnboats, airboats and six wheelers to reach the most remote and preferred habitat. You will go on a wild ride that begins at daybreak with an experienced alligator trapper who knows where the big ones are.
