Florida Alligator

Florida's premier alligator hunt, offered through Dispatch Hunts. Pursue trophy gators across 30,000+ acres of private cattle ranches, ag farms and water impoundments in South Central Florida — with 100% guaranteed success on the size class you're after. Choose a Management gator (7'–8'11", averaging 8 feet) or a Trophy gator (9 feet and up, averaging 11 feet). All flat-rate — no trophy fees, no hidden costs. Hunt day or night, from shore or by boat, with rifle, bow, crossbow or your weapon of choice (loaners available). Your guide handles judging, the shot and recovery. Harvested gators are processed, packaged and frozen locally for pickup within a few days; the hide is rolled and packaged with the tag. Gator + wild hog combo packages available on request.

Exactly as promised

Can't say enough about this one. The American Alligator hunt in Palm Bay pushed me, but the crew took great care of us. Trophy care was excellent and the whole thing ran like clockwork. Already planning my next trip with them.

Trip of a lifetime

If you want it sugar-coated, look elsewhere — Dispatch tells you exactly what you're signing up for. The American Alligator hunt was demanding but incredibly rewarding, and every detail was buttoned up. Top-tier operation.

Would book again tomorrow

Booked my American Alligator hunt through Dispatch and it was flawless start to finish. The advisor was honest about the terrain and fitness in Palm Bay, and everything they promised showed up exactly as described. My guide knew the country cold. Can't recommend it enough.
