Florida Sportsmen's Conservation Association 2022 Florida Youth Gator Hunt

Our young hunting crew showed up Friday evening for some chow and casting lessons. We reviewed the events for the following morning, including safety and hunting best practices. The hunters were up at the crack of dawn and at the STA by 6:30 AM. The group split up into teams to cover more area. It was game on!

Each hunter had an opportunity to hook, harpoon and harvest a gator. The gators ranged from 6.6 ft. to 7.10 ft. We had a couple of novice hunters in the group, but you couldn't tell it by the speed in which the tags were filled. By 9 AM, we were heading for the cleaning station, where each hunter learned the techniques required to harvest a gator.

The Beauty After the Storm

We all know in Florida it is too often a battle of not enough water so can't ride areas or they are closed or too much water and areas and/or boat ramps are closed. Well after two back-to-back hurricanes (Helene and Milton), there is certainly no shortage of water.

Nothing Beats a Good Challenge

Each year I lead guided trips in some of the most pressured gator waters in southern Georgia and use only archery equipment and my airboat to accomplish it. I love all things archery and a good challenge. I have owned airboats all my adult life and travel across the U.S. competing in bowfishing tournaments.
