Processing / Meat

Gators Meat

Gator Meat is delicious and always a hit as a rare treat with the friends and family. The processors that we use are state licensed and do an amazing job cleaning/deboning/tenderizing your trophy. They pack and freeze your gator meat ready to drive or fly back with you. Shipping the meat is another option, the processors do a great job ensuring it arrives fresh and frozen.

Processing averages $20 per foot depending on the size of the gator and how you want it processed. Depending on the current market value the processor may be able to offer a credit towards your processing in return for letting them keep the meat or hide.

Wild Hog Meat

Wild Hog Meat is full of flavor, and some say is even better than deer meat. We will skin and quarter your hogs for $25 as a gratuity to the guide. Further processing is available in regards to sausage, chops, etc.. Yummy!!
