That includes through Nov. 1. two CITES tags, which must be affi xed to each harvest- ed gator. Non-residents must pay $1,022. Stiegler said it’s common for permitted gator trap- pers to have one or more assistants on board the vessel to help them. Each assistant must have a $52 Alligator Trapping Agent’s License. Florida’s alligator population today is a far cry from 1967, when alligators landed on the endangered spe- cies list. Today, estimates put the alligator population in Florida waters around 1.3 million animals. Across their range, Florida’s alligator population ranks second only to that of Louisiana. FWC rules don’t specify an upper limit to the size of the gator, only that they have to be larger than a CARRABELLE hatchling (18 inches). Gator trappers can hunt during their assigned pe- riod from 5 p.m. to 10 a.m. each day. Most use either a detachable gig or harpoon, crossbow or bow-and-ar- row, with the gig, bolt or arrow tied to a restraining line, or a rod and reel with a snatch hook. Gator hunters in Florida are not allowed to use conventional fi rearms, but a bangstick can be used to kill the alligator. Some gator hunters who are successful in bagging a gator choose to process the animals themselves for the edible meat and hides. Others may sell the carcass to an alligator processor, or make a deal with a processor to split the head, hide and meat.
