If
you’ve ever thought about hunting an alligator, the time to apply
for the highly coveted permits is coming up quickly.
The
state will issue more than 6000 alligator hunting permits this year;
phase one of the application process runs from May 12th
through the 22nd.
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 www.gooutdoorsFlorida.com
– you can specify up to 20 hunting areas and hunting periods on the
application.
There
will then be a random drawing of all the applicants.
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.
If
there are any permits left after phase 2, they can be purchased by
anyone, even people who have already received a permit.
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.
