Alligators or gators as they are generally referred to, are among the largest reptiles. Louisiana gators specifically are they largest reptiles in North America. The area also has the largest current population of the animals in the United States. Guided gator hunting in Louisiana is one of the business that people have gotten into . When planning to go for a guided tour its good if you do your homework to know what to expect.

The tour company you choose to use should be certified with qualified staff. This ensures you are working with people with adequate experience. Work experience of over ten years is advised because they know the swamp well and the habits of the animals. All the swampy areas in Louisiana have alligator tour companies. Pierre Park is one of these areas and also has a number of parks where you can watch the alligators get fed and even do it yourself.

Alligator hunting can be a dangerous sport as the animals are dangerous and powerful. In some cases they may even weigh more than a full grown human. It will help if you have certification showing you have undergone basic hunting education. The guides you use should have adequate experience to ensure they put your safety first. Their years of experience should also be not less than ten.

The aim of the hunt is to trap and kill the gators. This is done using bows and arrows, firearms or gig and snare. After the hunt the skin form the animal is used to make shoes, belts and bags and the meat is eaten. In other cases the alligator may be stuffed and kept as a souvenir by the hunter.

The tour company should have alligator tags from the department of wildlife and fisheries. This are given to individuals who have approval or happen to own land that is known to be a wetland and has alligators. Before conducting any hunting they must have documents showing legal ownership of the land with a map of a particular area. This prevents trespassing onto other peoples land and the complications that come with it.There are also public waters and lakes for those who do not own land.

Alligators are reptiles and thus tend to surface to enjoy warm sunny weather. They also hunt at any time of the day. The time scheduled for the tour will most likely be for your convenience as the gators are there all the time.

The pricing may vary form one company to another but most companies within the general area will charge about the same. Getting referrals from friends who have used them can help you compare and settle on one.In the process you will also know the efficiency of the companies given and their work ethic.

Picking a company to provide the hunting services is a better option. It helps you save the money you would need to buy the equipment as they provide it. It also reduces the risk of any incidents because you will have a guide to monitor the areas you visit.
