Well after 3 yrs of trying I got drawn for the alligator lottery. Now I can't wait for Sept., hope I can find a good one! I will be hunting in the Pee Dee unit which is north and east.
Yes, both SC & GA raised their costs for non-res up enough to kill a good number of traveling hunters. Some of the thanks can go to Fl-G & F as Fl's non res price ($1,020.00 for two gator tags) was quoted as a comparison.
SC is still the destination for monster gators. Plenty of them! In Ga, there are some good ones that are not too hard to harvest if you work at it. Also, MS, AL, AR don't allow non-res to receive a permit at any price and both SC & Ga have very liberal rules of harvest & season.
Prior to the price increases, they were both BARGAINS for the traveling hunter. Now they are merely modest deals.

Good luck.
