That is one website I looked at, and their price is reasonable. It is a hunt only and you have to pay out the big bucks to actually take the gator home.

That is the closest place I found while looking online, but they made it seem as if a non-resident wouldn't be able to go along with a guide on Cotile Lake.

And out of state hunters did not qualify for lottery tags either.
There are several guys who will take you out, the bigger the gator, the more money you pay. A trophy gator will cost around $1000 just to shoot. If you want to keep it, it will cost around $100/ft. or more on top of the $1000.

I mostly want to go for the experience, I am not interested in a trophy. I'd rather take home the meat than I would the hide or head.

Thanks for all the responses. If you don't mind a northerner hanging around, I'm sure I'll enjoy all your fishing and hunting stories.
