2025 Alligator Season Sets Harvest Record

Arkansas’s two-weekend alligator season wrapped up in the predawn light Monday morning, and when the last harvested alligator was checked, hunters had tallied 205 alligators, narrowly edging out the previous record of 202 harvested in 2023.

According to AGFC Herpetologist Amanda Bryant, hunters surpassed the initial quota of 204 with one additional harvest.

“We’re really happy with the outcome this year. We always want 100 percent of the quota to be filled so it’s great when that happens,” Bryant said. “The quota is exceeded when multiple hunters take an animal in the same night and only one or two animals remain to close the season. It’s pretty common. We set the quota a few animals short of the total needed harvest with this in mind.”

Hunters on public land filled 26 of the 38 drawn public land tags available. The success rate of 68 percent was an improvement over last year’s 58 percent hunter success on public land.

“Almost every hunter who puts in some time on the water in Arkansas’s public alligator hunting areas will see a legal alligator to harvest. Getting within snare or harpoon range can be tricky, especially with some of the larger ones,” Bryant said. “And a lot of unfilled tags are the result of hunters holding out for a larger alligator and running out of time; but hunters were actually more successful this year than last year.” Read more

SCI Seeks to Join Lawsuit Challenging Florida Black Bear Hunt

This week, Safari Club International filed a legal motion, supported by SCI’s Center for Conservation Law and Education, to intervene in a lawsuit that seeks to nullify Florida’s recently authorized 2025 black bear hunt. The lawsuit, funded by anti-hunters, challenges the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) August decision to authorize this hunt, the first in a decade.

SCI has long been a vocal advocate for a legal, regulated black bear hunt in Florida. SCI is proud to defend the recommendations of Florida’s wildlife science officials and the interests of the state’s hunters in court against anti-hunters who insist on denying the science of wildlife management and the essential role of hunting in reducing black bear population expansion.

The FWC’s allocation of 172 black bear tags is a very conservative number based on population data, rising human-bear conflicts, and the 300-plus vehicle strikes that Floridians and bears suffer each year. With Florida’s growing black bear population leading to more human-bear conflicts, and even a fatal attack this past summer, proper bear management has never been more urgent. Yet Bear Warriors United, an animal rights group with a history of ignoring science, has twice filed suit over this regulated hunt. SCI looks forward to defending the FWC’s science-based decision in court. Read more
