Can't remember - the possessor of the gator tag, the person who draws and receives the tag, cannot allow someone else to kill a gator and then falsify info on the tag.
Or have things changed?

I always thought the tag holder was the only one who could actually kill the gator. Everyone else - the helpers - had to be properly licensed but could not apply the killing shot.
Was just curious.

You've been drawn four times in 12 years for a gator tag?

Yessir!! I put in for 3 zones in Alabama and one in Georgia every year so that’s not outlandish. The people I question are the ones that get drawn 3 times in 6 years in the same zone.

I remember the earlier days when people would spend a ton of money for multiple chances. I know a guy who was drawn twice in, I think, four years. That's when I quit applying because that's hooey. That ain't random. And even if someone's applying for multiple zones it's still questionable to be drawn multiple times in a "random" lottery out of literally thousands of applicants.
Probably doesn't happen as often now, though, like in the first 5-7 years. I've talked with DCNR employees before about it, too, although it's been many years.
Gator hunting is quite a rush and enjoyable. Definitely requires some scouting if you want something specific. Definitely becomes work after getting a gator. I just don't, or didn't, like the "random" aspect when it clearly was not that way back then. It seemed fishy and turned off a lot of people. They still get plenty of applicants and money, though, and I wish everyone the best for safe, good hunting when the season rolls around.

I agree with you and I think/wish they would have done the priority points system like Georgia. There’s no question as to how things happen then, it’s very black and white. Ultimately the reason they quit doing it the old way was because one guy spent $10k on chances and didn’t get drawn. He was perturbed about it and had a lawyer clarify to the state that how they were doing it could legally be considered a lottery in court. It immediately stopped.
