I was watching an outdoor show on tv last weekend and they were talking about how the alligators had rebounded to a harvestable level.

However I got a little confused when they started talking about alligator tags. .218 bee are those tags on an alligator somthin like a deer tag?

    Starting Sunday, Sept. 1, alligators will become the target of 1,533 licensed hunters from around the state who take part in
    Florida's annual public waters alligator hunt. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will conduct hunts on 57 management units throughout the state during the five-week season, which ends Oct. 8. This is the 15th consecutive year that alligator hunts have been conducted on Florida's public waters.

    Do they have out of state tags available? This way I can visit mommy-in-law and go hunting while my bride of 28+ years visits. We all walk away happy.

    Legal gator huntin`....What will they come up with next?

    The right to do it is at night with a light on yer head,shootin down at them from the bow of your boat,about 3 ft from the muzzle,
    with a 25-20,32-20,or a 22 mag.

    Legal gator huntin`..it just ain`t right!

    .218

    Wundud,there`s that tag thang again!?

    Did sombody say somethin` about bees?

    The only legal way to take a gator is 1. have the license, 2. get a rope, and a BANG Stick.
