Howdy, Come On In And Look Around !
Welcome to TNT Gators, home of the extreme sportsman
and the ONLY alligator guide service ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD to offer the opportunity to
"Live Capture" your trophy gator ! We offer
adventures ranging from tame to completely outrageous. Check out our
"Services Offered" page for an in depth look at the various gator hunts and
adventures we have to offer.
We
offer a totally unique hunting experience to our clients. Our hunts are
completely different from
start to finish. To find out just how different we are keep reading, and
be sure to bookmark this page as we are constantly adding new pictures, links,
and gator stories to the site so make sure you keep checking back to see the
most outrageous gator goodies on the web.
While many of our clients have participated in
several guided hunts for other species of dangerous wild game in areas all
around the world, they all seem to agree
that stalking a wild alligator in the middle of the night is a completely unique
and adrenaline producing experience. As one of our trophy hunters from
last season put it: "during all of the other guided hunts I've been on over the
years, the rush is over as soon as you pull the trigger; with you guys, that's
when the excitement really started".
Here at TNT Gator Trappers we understand that
being an outdoor sportsman is not about killing your quarry, it's about testing
your hunting and stalking skills against a worthy adversary, and we know
that
once you feel the power and presence of a completely wild and dangerous
alligator as you glide up beside him in the middle of the night with nothing
separating the two of you but six feet of open space and a whole lot of tension,
you will quickly realize just how worthy an adversary he is.
Why Choose TNT Gator Trappers?
The first big difference between TNT Gator
Trappers and the other alligator hunting guide services out there is the fact
that we do not just hunt alligators for the sake of hunting . Every
gator we hunt has clearly proven themselves to be a danger to the safety of the
general public. Due to this fact, the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC) has issued a "Nuisance Alligator Permit" directing
that Tiger, and/or Michael remove the alligator in question. Whether
it be for endangering people, property, or livestock, these gators have crossed
the line. 
As mandated by Florida law,
all alligators captured during hunts on private waters, or during the "Public
Waters" season must be killed prior to being brought into the boat. The
one exception to this policy involves alligators caught by licensed Nuisance
Alligator Control Agents. It is this exception, which allows us to offer
our clients a totally unique hunting opportunity, and is the second big
difference between us and other gator hunting guide services.
Every alligator we hunt has to
be removed from the wild one way or another, and by allowing our clients to
harvest nothing but nuisance gators we try to effectively minimize the overall
negative impact upon Florida's wild alligator population.
Want to have your neighbors and relatives begging to see the the pictures and videos
of this year's "Family Vacation". Try this on for size.
The fact that TNT Gators is owned and operated by
two of the most talented alligator
trappers in the state of Florida offers a huge advantage to our clients.
With a combined total of nearly 60 years of experience trapping wild alligators,
we are the Clear leader when it comes to the real world experience that
makes the difference between a successful trophy gator hunt, and a disappointing
boat ride in the dark. We also offer the largest geographical area of any
alligator hunting guide service for you to choose from when deciding where
you want to stalk your trophy gator with our territory covering most of the
panhandle of Florida. As State Licensed Nuisance Alligator
Control Agents, Tiger, and Michael are able to offer guided, nuisance alligator adventures and hunts
which can be scheduled in locations and during times of the year that other
gator hunting guides simply will not be able to match, and as stated above: all
our gators are completely wild and we can prove it! If you're interested,
we can show you the FWC permit ordering the removal of your gator. Because let's face it . . . . . who wants
to take time out of their busy schedule, spend their hard earned cash, and
travel hundreds or possibly thousands of miles only to be led out to "hunt" a docile, hand-fed, farm
gator! That's not our idea of gator hunting, and we're pretty darned sure
it's not yours either..
A Word To The Wise
Whether you decide to hunt with us, or with another guide service please make
sure they take care of all the proper paperwork for you. Poaching a
crocodilian is a federal felony and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC) is
deadly serious about catching anyone taking or attempting to take an alligator
illegally. Always make sure you see proof that you are legal. The
rule is: if you are in the boat without the proper paperwork while
hunting, or with an illegally taken alligator, you're guilty of poaching .
. . Period! Your guide's assurances to you that everything was on the up
and up hold no water as far as the law and the FWC are concerned. If you are
caught poaching an alligator you WILL be arrested and end up in jail or,
at the very least, have to fork out a very hefty fine, and we don't want to see
anyone's vacation end that way. At TNT Gators, we take our client's trust
very seriously. We understand that gator hunting is probably a new
experience to most of our clients and we know they are not familiar with all the
legalities and the ins and outs of the paperwork involved. Because of
this, we always handle these issues for you. Before we leave the dock or
bank we will have on hand the proper paperwork for everyone in the boat and the
FWC permit for the alligator we will be hunting, and what's more, we will gladly
show you this paperwork.
Feel free to take a look at what we have to offer and when you decide you're
ready for a little excitement, whether it be a fascinating and informative sight
seeing trip with one of our Gator Guides, or a late night wrestling match with a
man-eating alligator, drop us a line and we'll show you the time of your life !
TNT Gator Trappers thanks you for stopping by, and we invite you to take your time
looking around. Please let us know if we can help you in any way.
