When the season first reopened in the mid 70's, it was around 150-200 acres per tag. Then in the 80's it dropped acreage to around 100 per tag. In some areas, LDWF goes out and does surveys to determine what the acreage/tag ratio should be.

Marshland, agriculture canals and swamp are all allotted tags differently. Marshland usually has a higher tag to lower acreage ratio, with swamp having a pretty average tag to acreage ratio and agriculture land having a higher acreage to lower tag ratio.

With so many young alligators being released every year, the population is booming and may be out of control in some areas before too long.
