East Texas Alligator Trophy Hunt w/Rifle or Bow

1 DAY - SEMI-GUIDED



Texas has long been known for trophy whitetails, but have you heard of the trophy alligators? We have exclusive hunting rights on some very large ranches in East Texas near Big Sandy (click for map). Due to the difficulty of getting access to these private ranches and the previously strict Texas hunting laws, the alligators have received little or no hunting pressure, resulting in an above average number of mature alligators ranging from 4 feet up to approximately 15 feet being harvested. This type of hunt really gets your adrenalin going!


Big Sandy is conveniently located approximately 90 miles east of Dallas, Texas and 80 miles west of Shreveport, Louisiana, with the Tyler, Texas airport being a mere 20 minutes away. Hunts will on Saturday's using a flat bottom boat. Our guide will have over 40 hours of time scouting the area and feeding alligators prior to the hunting night. Two large ponds full of alligators and over 200 acres of hunting ground. For the real "rough it" hunters, you are welcome to camp on the land AT YOUR OWN RISK at no additional fee.




Price: $1,495.00 per hunter for any Alligator up to 10 feet and $150.00 for each foot over 10. Non-hunters are welcome to tag along as well, but a fee of $500 will be assessed. Four Hunters per group is preferred, no more than six. Corporate and discounted rates are available - contact us for info.


Includes: Lunch and Field Transportation.


Payment: A 50% deposit is required to secure your party's slot. No hunt is confirmed until a deposit is received. The remaining 50% of the hunt price is due 30 days prior to the start of the hunt. (The sooner you book your hunt, the better.)
