Louisiana hunters just wrapped up an alligator season in which 32,335 alligators have been reported harvested to date — making 2024 the highest harvest total since 2016.
According to LDWF, Louisiana’s wild alligator population has increased from less than 100,000 to more than 2 million in the past 50 years. That’s nearly three times the gator population of Florida, the state with the second-most alligators.
