How Hunting For Alligators Can Be Accomplished With Ease

By Diane Olson


Hunting continues to be a widely enjoyed hobby done by people from different regions in the world. However, the techniques used in pursuing deer, swine, and other wild animals are not similar to catching an alligator. The reptiles are lethal and do not spare both humans and animals that come near their habitat. As such, going for this hunt demands that you use the best tools and be ready for a physical challenge. Below are guidelines for selecting the best tools and ideas for successful hunting for alligators.

Both newbies and experienced hunters must assemble the essential gadgets before venturing into the water for this hunt. The reptiles can be captured with bare hands or thread traps because they are heavy and can slice you into pieces when they hit on you. As such, an electrical tape, headlight, bang stick, harpooning pole and a snatch hook must be obtained. Moreover, the tools should be durable, efficient and practical.

Find as much as you can about the tricks of catching the reptile. Even the smallest animal like a deer or hare requires some tricks for it to be caught and the same must be applied here. Considering that crocodiles are only found close to water bodies, you should identify lakes, rivers or swamps that have their infestation for the exercise.

Although the reptiles are lethal, they prefer to hunt down when they are hiding. They stay beneath the water and wait for anything edible that comes to drink water before thrashing it down. As such, your baits should be set on the water, and they must be smart especially if you are targeting mature reptiles. The young ones are attracted to anything foreign moving on the water making them an easier catch.

Capturing the mature predators comes with vigorous fights with the captors. It is heavy in weight, and it tries all manner of tricks to get lose from the bait. As such, you must have a small gun in hand just in case the struggle turns to be drastic. Shooting it at its soft part will weaken it. Also, ensure you are using a strong and well-maintained boat when stalking them to avoid being drowned.

Pulling your catch from the water is cumbersome considering that they are naturally heavy. Ensure you have a team of strong people that can pull it on board without a fuss. The reptiles become aggressive after they are caught and the enormous force they produce when trying to free themselves can even turn your vessel. Also, ensure the boat is strong enough to hold such weights of an enraged crocodile.

Besides using a harpoon and a fishing rod, it is important that you carry with you a bang stick and a small gun. If you can get closer to the reptile, banging it will save you the struggle of dragging it to the cabin while still fighting. Moreover, use of a bang stick is a humane way of dispatching the reptiles than a shooting.

Some states have stringent laws regarding animal poaching and hunting. Before you go for this hunt, visit the nearest licensing body and get a permit. Without it, you are prone to prosecution or hefty fines according to the stipulated laws.
