Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Gators and hogs with a bow

I plan to kick off my 2019 bowhunting road trip season in Feb. with Gators and Hogs in Florida. Does anybody have any knowledge or insight into a Florida outfitter that specializes in bowhunting gators and hogs?

gators are sleeping in feb

Hogs squeal when hit

Gator season is later in the year. February is a good time for pigs and small game though.

LMAO. And planning a trip only a few months out to boot.

Not exactly. Im guessing we will find a 10 footers wide awake.



LOL, A couple months is a lifetime to plan a hunt. Ive had out of state cancellation hunts dropped in my lap with 6 days to prep. When you hunt all over and are always ready, its no biggie. Im guessing you only hunt your home state. (if you actually hunt.)

Guy asks, you tried!

Can’t fix stupid, 😂🖕Ronda the poaching bow hunter.

What would the guys from Florida know, right Ronda.
When josh said a gator gave him 10”! (Last February) you thought feet, and didn’t realize that he was referring to a college guy he picked up at a gay bar. 😂

That gator hunt sounds right in your sweet-spot. Just wrap a chunk of that farm meat you’ve taken, trying to pass off as a wild, fair chase animal around your face as bait. You’re experienced at baiting. This will be easy for you. Good Luck 😎

he will climb the fence at gator land and shoot one in a heated pool 3 ft long and take closeup pics

Bump for the guy trying to get a line on gator hunts. 😂😂😂

I know a couple guys that can put you on gators and hogs.

They've been at it a long time and know their schit.

How Newberry treating trav.

Don't sweat.

We depart in about a week for the gator and hog bowhunt. Ive had the gator bow setup for a while and have been shooting it. For the hog portion of this hunt I will use my usual Bowtech. The gator bow is an old Oregon brand bow I added a big game reel to. Its set to 55 pounds draw. I designed and 3D printed a mount for my Ultimate Predator Adventure cam (like a GO Pro but better)










Ive been experimenting with metal arrow slides rather than the tip. Plastic ones and a variety of fish points.



For the hog portion of the hunt Im falling back on a tried and tru Woodsman. Ie taken hogs and deer with them in the past with great results. All of these have passed through one species or another and have been re-honed and ready for service. With the adapter, they are 150 grain.

The first leg of the gator and hog hunt is under way. I need to acclimate to the environment in Florida. The week before departing WI we had temps with wind chills around -50F and 10 inches of snow last week so I thought it proper to slowly get used to the local conditions.

Hey just what kind of Hogs you hunting?

Yea what kind?

There's ah-plenty in florida and accessorized with lots of tattoos and greasy hair decked out in their dress flip-flops and a 120 winston cigrit hanging off their lip .

Gators are moving - we've had a [disgusting] hot winter - 80* at my lease here in NW florida .

I thought the season ran from August to November.
