FWC – The application periods for the Statewide Alligator Harvest Program and the Alligator Super Hunt open Friday, May 2, 2025 at 10 a.m. ET. All applications submitted for the statewide hunt between May 2 and May 12 will have an equal chance of being selected.

You can apply at any county tax collector’s office, through a license agent, or online at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com.

You can submit one application for the Statewide Alligator Harvest Program, which allows you to hunt a single alligator management unit or county – if you are randomly selected. Applicants may select from a list of units and counties with an order of preferred priority.

For the Alligator Super Hunt, you can pay to apply as many times as you want to increase your chances of being randomly drawn to hunt at most alligator management units and counties. The Alligator Super Hunt opportunity is a relatively new program, initially launched last year.

Learn more about both opportunities at MyFWC.com/Alligator.
