About BullGator Bayou
BullGator Bayou offers guided alligator hunts and swamp experiences on a private preserve in the Matanzas River watershed near historic St. Augustine. The setting is raw, green and immersive—an intricate wetland of duckweed-covered water, palm hammocks, footbridges and purpose-built shooting platforms.
Guests can hunt by boat or move through the preserve on a spot-and-stalk adventure. Choose a photo-focused no-kill capture hunt, a sport hunt for a 6- to 7-foot-class alligator, or a trophy experience ranging from 8 feet through the published 12-foot class.
Every hunt is operated as a private charter. The experience is designed for seasoned hunters, first-timers, families and groups. BullGator Bayou describes it as a team pursuit: highly interactive, professionally guided and built to deliver a powerful shared memory in the heart of a distinctly Floridian landscape.
