Ep. 331 Orange Cypress Outdoors: Chasing Big Gators in Florida

In this episode, we sit down with Garret Bray, owner of Orange Cypress Outdoors, for a deep dive into the world of Florida alligator hunting.

This isn’t a full-time guiding operation perspective—this is real, boots-on-the-ground experience from someone who lives for the hunt and knows what it takes to successfully pursue gators in Florida’s unique and often unpredictable conditions.

We break down everything from scouting and water management to tactics, shot placement, equipment choices, and what most people get wrong when they step into alligator hunting for the first time. Garret also shares firsthand insight into pressure, seasonal behavior shifts, and how to stay safe and effective when you’re dealing with one of the most powerful game animals in North America.

If you’ve ever been curious about how alligator hunting actually works—or you’re thinking about applying for tags and trying it yourself—this episode gives you a straight, no-fluff look at what it really takes in the field.
