I have lived on the Gulf Coast of Florida for my entire life.
I grew up on the Gulf of Mexico fishing the flats as well as offshore. My love for the outdoors continued into the woods chasing everything the Florida Flat woods had to offer. My life in the outdoor business began right out of high school.
Starting out as a fishing guide over 20 years ago, I spent nearly everyday in the outdoors. My love for hunting and fishing gradually grew into taking clients out after ducks, Osceolla wild turkey, hogs, and alligator hunting. Within a few years of doing that I started Deep South Outfitter. For nearly 20 years now I have been a full time, full service outfitter offering hunting a fishing excursions in Florida.
My business has grown every year since I began guiding and I could never see myself doing anything else but hunting and fishing. Now with many major booking agencies such as Outdoors International booking clients through my business, the future looks good. Deep South Outfitter will continue to grow with the outdoors and provide its clients with quality hunting and fishing adventures.
For the adventure seeking big game hunter, there is always the wild experience of hunting trophy-sized Florida alligators during the late summer season.
On a hot, pleasant night, you and your Florida alligator hunting outfitter will navigate the warm lakes and rivers of searching for red gator eyes with a powerful flashlight. Alligators are very active at night and you will carefully look over a number of them to find that one gator you’ve been looking for. You will actually be calling alligators into range as you search.
Once you find a big alligator that you like the looks of, it’s time to slip into bow range.
Your arrow has a strong, barbed point designed to stay lodged under the skin. Attached to the tip is a braided line with a large float attached to the other end. Now get ready for a fight! You (with your guides help if needed) will fight the alligator to the side of the boat and harpoon it with a much heavier line. It might take awhile to get the gator controlled, at which point a bang stick is used to finish it off. Florida alligator hunting may sound easy, but this is a large, prehistoric, dangerous predator. Most hunters prefer to use a bow or crossbow in hand at night on the bow of a custom alligator-hunting skiff. Some of our past clients say this is the only real hunt they have ever been on! Are you ready?

Super awesome hunt! The only thing that would make it better would be if they offered food and accommodations. However, this makes a great add-on to your Florida vacation.
