We hunt in styles that give us the most success. Some hunts are from a boat and others can be from land. All depends on what the Alligators are doing and also the area they are in.

That answer is relevant to how much money you are wanting to spend. Smaller alligators are more common than larger ones. So if you are looking to harvest a giant, then that is information while booking that we will need.

Hides can be cleaned for Trophy mounting to put up in your trophy room, or can be skinned for leather goods.

This place is pretty awesome hog hunting! We called and they got us in for a hunt within a couple days. This is my son and they made sure he seen a hog. Plenty of them and all different sizes. The guides were also awesome! Not only did they put my son on a hog but they also informed me of things around the area to do while I waited for him. Prices are great! You pay for the hunt, not the size hog you kill. Would recommend 100% to anyone! We also plan on hunting here again, hopefully soon! Thank you so much for an awesome hunt!

It was our first time hog hunting so Dakota took great care of us and provided a ton of tips to make sure we had a successful day…and it sure was!!We both ended up with 2 nice hogs and had a blast in the process…can’t go wrong with these guys!!!

I had a great experience with my dad on a hog hunt. The guide got us to where we needed to be and within a couple hours we bagged a hog. Couldn’t ask for anything better, plus I got to spend some quality time with my dad on something he really enjoys. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Had a great experience with west shore outfitters. Sat and watched a beautiful sunrise, then, the biggest boar I’ve seen, walked in. He left on the front of The Jeep! This place is just what they say they are, one price any size! Colby then went to work and very professionally took care of the meat. Well done, would highly recommended this operation to anyone. Thanks Colby.

I booked a thermal hog hunt recently with west shore outfitters and had a great experience. From the moment I arrived and met my guide Colby to the conclusion of my hunt it was fun, exciting and professional. I had been on hog hunts with a couple other outfitters over the years, but this was the most fun and exciting. When you head out with your guide there are no cameras guiding your hunt. It’s you and your guide walking and searching for hogs, a true spot and stalk hunt You carry the weapon while the guide searches for hogs and carries the tripod to shoot from Even if you have no experience with guns and hunting they will help every step of the way. What a great way to have a true adventure in Florida ! Yes I was successful and plan on returning next March for another hunt Thanks again Colby and everyone at West Shore Outfitters!

Had an excellent hunt with West Shore Outfitters. Cody was very helpful and put us on hogs. The purpose of the hunt was to introduce my niece to hunting and with her being able to take a nice hog has hooked her for life. Thanks again for an outstanding time.

West Shore Outfitters was exactly as advertised on their website. Cody set us up in great blinds. Colby expertly dressed out our 2 pigs. Pricing was fair - no hidden charges or unexpected surprises. We had a great time

The guys at WSO are awesome. They made it a wonderful relaxed experience that was totally worth the money. Got two good hogs out of our afternoon hunt, and the chance at a monster during the thermal that I screwed up. If you want the chance for big hogs at a fair price, awesome guides, and some lovable hog dogs then this is the place to go. Will definitely be coming back if I am able.

Unforgettable Hog Hunt at Westshore outfitters.I recently went on a hog hunt at West Shores Outfitters, and it was an unforgettable experience. Everything was well-organized, and the hunt was intense and exciting from start to finish.One of the best parts of the trip was the dog hunting. Watching the dogs work was incredible—they were relentless, skilled, and brought a whole new level of adrenaline to the hunt. The action was fast-paced, and it made for an unforgettable experience.Our guide, Cody, was outstanding. He knew the land inside and out and made sure we were in the best spots for success. His knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm made all the difference. Whether it was tracking, setting up the perfect shot, or keeping the energy up, Cody was top-notch.The land itself was perfect, with plenty of hogs and a great setup for a successful hunt. If you’re looking for an intense and well-run hog hunt, West Shores Outfitters is the place to go—especially if you get to hunt with Cody. Me and my buddies will definitely be back.

Successful morning hunt with West Shore Outfitters. This was my second hunting charter with Dakota, Cody & Colby. These guides know their business and run a professional hunt. Last year was a dog hunt (very exciting), so this year I decided to do a stand hunt. My opportunity came early and Dakota & Colby were there to track and retrieve my hog. I’ll be back next year.

Cody and the guys were great guides. My two sons and I all got a nice hog within the first 1/2 hour of our morning hunt. That made our 1 day hunt extra special.We appreciate WestShoreOutfitters for s great hunt!

West Shore Outfitters was great. Good communication right from the start so all details/questions were easy to get answered and figured out. Our guide, Dakota was very knowledgeable and great talking with before and after the hunt. We saw several pigs on our hunt, and ended up going home with a very nice one. Thank you all very much for a great time.

The half-day hog hunt was an amazing experience. Thank you, Colby, for being a great guide! I was able to get a hog within a couple of hours of being there. I’m looking forward to doing more hunting and fishing trips with you guys soon.

Brought my wife with me for the first time. Dakota was awesome. I can’t stop talking about doing a stalk hunt with my wife tagging along. The feeling of excitement is more than words can say. West shore outfitters is the way to go.Update 2/1/25. Shot my biggest hog today. Again Dakota put me in the spot. Can’t say enough about West Shore Outfitters. 👍🏻

What else can I say but these guys are true professionals. The whole setup was awesome I went hog hunting with the dogs and it was great. Great land and if you need rentals or forget anything they got you covered.The guide Cody was awesome super cool and even liked to joke around with us at the times where the action was slow. One of the guys for sure!! I’ll definitely recommend and be back myself soon.

West shore outfitters was amazing! I had originally booked a hog hunt out of blind but later was convinced to hunt with the dogs. WSO easily accommodated my change and Colby took me on a surprisingly challenging hunt! The fast paced action of hunting with the dogs was an exciting change of pace from your typical archery hunt. I would certainly recommend these guys to anyone. They are knowledgeable, fun and are great at their job! Not to mention the dogs were amazing! These guys know how to do it!

I would like to Thank Matt for running such a great place to hunt. Our guides were Cody and Colby and they were awesome. Two of us went out for an afternoon hunt and then a thermal night hunt. They put us on hogs both day and night. Matt and his staff are knowledgeable and fun to be around. Great experience all around. We will be going back soon and also looking to plan cooperate retreats to his place in near future. Like I said great place to hunt with a staff that knows there business and makes you feel welcome. Can’t wait to go back!

Had a great hog hunting experience! Everything was well organized from start to finish which was much appreciated. Had a great guide, Cody, who helped with whatever I needed and had plenty of opportunities and came out with a successful hunt. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Cody as our guide! Him and his dogs got us right on these two hogs, what a rush! Next time I won't even bother with sitting in a stand, the dogs are the way to go for sure. They actually got 4 within an hour, and were ready to keep going. Just wow. Thanks again to Cody and the whole team at West Shore Outfitters!

This was a great time. All of the guides were professional yet had a fun time. Just remember if you get Dakota he loves cats, and Cody likes to be called Captain Kirk. But seriously, they work very hard to make sure you are successful and that you enjoy your hunt. We will be back to see them.

We had the best time! Our guide Cody was the funniest guy ever. He made our trip a blast! We did the dog hunt, which I would recommend to anyone. It was awesome to see the dogs do what they love to do and way more fun than a hunt in a stand. Everyone in our group was able to shoot a hog. I highly recommend West Shore Outfitters. We will definitely be back!!
