Captain Jordan Patrick - USCG licensed and fully insured.

Tail and Scale has 2 boats, one for gator hunting and one for bowfishing, each boat is a 17 foot Triton. Gators will be taken with bow and arrow or harpoon, the hunt will be 2 nights (if needed) and 5 hours per night of actual hunting time (this time limit is a estimate depending on how the night is going, we may stay longer or shorter depending on if we are working good alligators or weather may stop us) At Tail and Scale we want everyone to fill the tag they were drawn for so we will do everything we can to make this happen and enjoy ourselves during the hunt.

All gator harvest equipment will be provided, (must bring your tag and have S.C. hunting license, and appropriate clothing for what weather we may run into) each paying customer can bring one guest for no extra charge but this guest must also have a SC hunting license.

Alligator tags can be applied for and hunting licenses purchased online at www.dnr.sc.gov

Alligator season runs from the 2nd Saturday in September until the 2nd Saturday in October

We have outlets for processing, taxidermy, and equipment purchase.

We will also be able to suggest lodging, restaurants, and
landings for both gator hunts and bowfishing.
