The Ultimate Florida Alligator Hunt Adventure

Florida alligator hunting season typically runs from August 15 through November 1, and our public land hunts are based on a lottery system. Successful applicants receive two tags for specific areas, determined by population density. With Copeland Outdoors, you have two exciting options to choose from:

Option #1: Hunt with Your Tags

1. Apply for Your Tags: First, you apply for your own tags in the designated areas you want to hunt.

2. Pre-Hunt Scouting: Once you’re drawn, let us know, and we’ll take care of all the prior scouting to ensure a successful hunt.

3. The Day of the Hunt: On the big day, meet us at the boat ramp with your tags, your guests, and your food and drinks. We provide everything else: our boat, our gear, and our expertise.

Important Tip: Call us before applying for tags to ensure you’re choosing the best areas for a successful hunt. Not all tags are created equal, and we can guide you to the prime spots. Want to stay updated? Join our email list by reaching out to us at copelandoutdoors@gmail.com.

Option #2: Hunt with Our Tags

1. First Come, First Served: If you prefer, we can take you on our tags. This option is on a first-come, first-served basis.

2. All-Inclusive Experience: Simply show up with your guest, food, and drinks, and we’ll handle the rest.

Note: Clients are responsible for the processing of the alligators. Depending on the location of your hunt, we can assist with dropping off your gator at the processor or taxidermist.
