The snakes have definitely woke up down here, snakes have been on the go since early February. Tons of rattlers, and then this bull snake:

what’s it take of non residents to harvest a gator out there? I was just looking into NR opportunity in LA and TX. Moving to OK and I REALLY want to try and figure out how to get some alligator meat!

In mississippi nonresidens have to hunt with a resident. I apply every year but I haven't gotten drawn. I know that you can buy gator meat in south louisana. Check out Don's specialty meats in Lafayette la. If they don't sell it they can probably tell you where to find it. Most any kind of fish is much better than gator in my opinion.

Looked like LA requires the same thing.

TX might of been the easiest for NR (given I didn’t misinterpret what i read) I think all in all it’s most likely if someone has problem gators on private land.


I really enjoyed alligator in S. FL

Wary of gators and snakes near water, but I padded out with whitey there regularly no problemo. LOL
