CONFIRMING YOUR UPCOMING GATOR HUNT
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF YOUR HUNTING SAFETY AND OF YOUR FELLOW HUNTERS
WHEN HANDLING FIREARMS AT THE LODGE & RANCH.

 

• Please text the names of the guests in your group the day before your arrival so we can confirm waivers.

• Waterfowl Hunters will need to have their hunting license with them while checking in upon arrival so they can fill out their transportation tags.  This may be the evening of arrival if lodging or the morning of hunt if you are just hunting for the day.

• GUIDES WILL BEGIN TO LEAVE LODGE within an hour of arrival.

• Please park on the left side of circle drive in the guest parking area.

• All guests will need to have filled out their waiver online using the links below before arriving and will have to have proof of hunters safety and Texas Hunting License with you in the field.  Please get your hunting license purchased before filling out your waiver.

• NO ALCOHOL IN THE FIELD.  Leave all coolers with Alcohol under the pavilion at the lodge.

• If you are hunting Hogs and Deer - They will not be moving during the day so you will have a morning and evening hunt.  If you leave for lunch please be back to lodge no later than 3 pm.

• We do not allow you to leave stands and walk around.  Please use the restrooms before departing for each outing.

• We do not require hunter orange.

• Dogs are not allowed on gator hunts.

• Please leave your coolers outside under Pavilion next to the sink.  Do not place coolers inside of buildings.  We do not allow drinks inside of the Bunkhouse common areas, bedrooms, or main hall bedroom except for bottled water due to wood furniture.  Drinks are allowed in Main Hall, Pavilion area, and Mess Hall and we respectfully ask you to use coasters to keep our lodge nice for everyone.

• Main Hall closes at 11:30 pm and all lights turn off at 12:15 am.  We ask at this time you make your way to bed.

• We do not allow smoking or vaping inside buildings and we ask that you kindly do not throw cigarette butts in the fire pit, on porches, or on lodge grounds.  We do have buckets under pavilion for your butts.

• You may bring fishing or bow fishing equipment with you on your hunt.  Currently the fish are hitting on small weighted Texas rig or weightless worms with a slow weed less presentation is best. Color seems to vary. Black and blue/ blue flake should be the color for this time of year. Motor oil and tomato red flake has about the same effect. They are changing patterns frequently right now because they are biting out of protecting beds and competitiveness. Black lizards with blue or chartreuse tails have always been good on sunny days as well. The guide recently caught just a couple on top with a frog so if you are a die hard top water fishermen it’s an option but not very productive.  Chatter baits have also become successful that are yellow or white as well.  Mid-Range Divers are also good in certain lakes and frogs are always good for top water action fishing.
