Apply for your alligator hunting permit today!

If you’ve ever thought about hunting an alligator, now is the time to apply for the highly coveted permits.
The state will issue more than 5700 alligator hunting permits this year but you need to apply now, the deadline is April 30th.
The application process is done in phases; during phase one you can apply at any tax collector’s office, license agent or through the Internet at License.MyFWC.com – you can specify up to 20 hunting areas and hunting periods on the application.
There will then be a random drawing and if are chosen you have until May the 14th to pay for your permit.
The permits that are unsold after that will be placed back into the system to be sold in Phase 2 which is another random drawing.
The licenses cost 272 dollars for residents and 1022 dollars if you are from out of state
Each permit allows you to take two alligators from whichever county or body of water you were awarded during a specific harvest period. 

You must be at least 18 years old by opening day, August 15th, to purchase one.

The 11-week alligator season runs August 15th through November 1st.
