Information On Hunting For Alligators

By Frank Stone


Hunting is the activity of capturing and killing of wildlife. It is an activity that human beings have engaged in for a very long time. Its history is almost as long as the history of human beings. People engaged in this activity as a means of livelihood because it gave them food and other animals products such as leather. Leather was used to make clothing and sleeping material. These are tips for hunting for alligators.

To date, there are still people who go hunting especially in the Western countries. An example of such is the United States whereby a license is issued to the person who wants to hunt any kind of wildlife and of course alligators are included. This proves the fact that though hunting is practiced, the activity is more regulated and possesses advanced technology. Gator hunting is the most prominent in the southeaster states of the U. S. A.

The highest numbers of gators are found in various states of the US. This means that they would pose serious threat to human safety if left uncontrolled. The states include Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Residents of the mentioned states are issued with licenses to hunt these reptiles. Most of the time the hunting period lasts for about a month.

Killing of alligators is prohibited in North Caroline. This makes it the only southeaster state where such law exists. The only people allowed to hunt or kill gators are wildlife service employees which make it illegal for anyone else to hunt alligators. They are a protected species in this state. Anyone coming across them is supposed to report the matter to relevant authorities for action as required by law. A person hunting gators may be either jailed or fined.

Like any other application there are requirements that are needed for the person applying for the license. These details which are personal may include name, date of birth and social security number. They are filled in an application form which is accompanied by a fee. The fee varies from different states.

The license usually indicates the area range within which one is allowed to do the hunt. It also indicates the number of gators one is allowed to catch during the period. Straying from the specified area may be considered illegal and may attract a fine or some other measures. Once the open season on gators expires, people are required to stop the exercise with immediate effect. The license will usually indicate the end date of the exercise.

As had been stated above, the increasing population of the gators causes a security threat to the humans thereby causing conflict. This can be supported by the fact that alligators lays many eggs during every season and this multiplies their generations. This provides a situation whereby alligators go into the human space leading to conflict. Alligators are therefore termed as dangerous animals.

It is the healthy number of gators that have led to the annual hunting culture in this region. Besides that, people hunt the reptiles for their skin, which is used to make a large number of products. Such products include shoes, bags, watch handles, hats, and jackets among others.
