Hunt the Gator. Wear the Legend. Experience one of the most unique hunting adventures Texas has to offer with this unforgettable package that combines an exciting, guided alligator hunt with a custom pair of handcrafted cowboy boots from Republic Boot Company.
The winning bidder will join a professionally guided half-day alligator hunt for one hunter in the marshes of Anahuac, Texas, as part of a group of 4–5 hunters, during the Texas alligator season (September 11–30). All firearms, ammunition, tags, and hunting equipment are provided; however, a valid Texas hunting license is required.
This package includes the opportunity to harvest one alligator up to 8½ feet in length, with upgrade options available for larger alligators at the published rates (9' – $1,600; 10' – $2,500; 11' – $3,500; 12' – $6,000; 13' – $7,500). Following the hunt, you'll receive 10 pounds of processed alligator meat, a professional taxidermy head mount, and premium tanning of your alligator hide.
The experience continues with a private design consultation and fitting at Republic Boot Company, where master bootmakers will transform your tanned hide into one pair of handcrafted custom alligator cowboy boots built specifically for you, a true heirloom and lasting reminder of an incredible Texas adventure.
Winning bidders may also upgrade their boots with additional custom options for an additional fee.
Observers are welcome for $250, and a European skull mount may be added for $350.
