FLORIDA GATOR HUNTING

For those lucky enough to draw a public hunting permit, The Coastal Sportsmen offers an all inclusive Captain-for-Hire "Dinosaur" hunt with no hidden charges or fees.  All you have to do is "show up!!!"

The last thing I want to yell to a client is "NO NO NO!!!" but instead yell "THROW THROW THROW!!!"

NO TROPHY FEES:  The FFWCC & Safari Club International (SCI) classify any alligator (9) nine feet & over as a "trophy"   Many guide services charge an extra handling or "Trophy Fee"
