My Oh My, What a Gator Season at Grosse Savanne
Just about the time we got our souvenirs back from our amazing 2024 alligator hunt at Louisiana’s Grosse Savanne Lodge, it was time for hunting season to start up again – and from the pictures it looks like September 2025 was one for the ages.
Check out this gallery of giant dinosaurs:
The hunts are fully guided, and the staff provides everything you need — from firearms to expert instruction. Hanna had never fired a long gun before last September, and she loved every minute of it. You don’t need to be a seasoned hunter to succeed here.
Why You Should Book Now for 2026
Here’s the catch: spots sell out fast. By the time most people reached out to us this past summer, every last opening was gone. If you want in for September 2026, you need to plan now.
You’ll need a proper Louisiana hunting license (we’ll help you navigate that), but otherwise you just show up and the team at Grosse Savanne takes care of the rest. After your hunt, they’ll even help you transform your gator hides into custom leather gifts and gear.
More Than Just Hunting
Extend your stay and you can also fish for bass, redfish, and speckled trout. That mix of hunting, fishing, and Cajun culture is exactly why Grosse Savanne is one of our favorite sporting lodges in the U.S. It’s easy to get to, but feels like a world away.
