FWC extends alligator hunting hours

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is planning to amend Florida’s alligator hunting rules to extend alligator hunting hours.

Currently, the rule allows for only nighttime-hunting of alligators, between one hour before sunset and one hour after sunrise. 

The FWC has given preliminary approval for an additional four hours of daylight-hunting during the state’s 11 week recreational alligator hunting season which would extend alligator hunting hours from 5 p.m. until 10 a.m.

Commissioners will vote on the change at their June meeting.
