Yes. Hunters are responsible for purchasing the proper Louisiana hunting license for their trip.
For alligator hunts, Louisiana resident alligator licenses are $25 and nonresident licenses are $150.

Bring weather-appropriate clothing, any required licenses, and whatever personal gear you may want for comfort during the trip. Once your hunt is booked, we can help you understand what’s best to bring based on the season and hunt type.
You can book a hunt by reaching out directly to Mareno’s Outfitters through email or social media. Once we know what type of hunt you’re interested in, we’ll go over availability, pricing, and next steps.
Yes — alligator hunts require a $300 non-refundable deposit to secure tags. For other hunts, contact us directly for current booking details and availability.
If additional tags are available, yes. Extra alligators are $600 each during the same hunt.
Trips are set up for private groups of up to 6 people. Keeping groups small helps keep the trip more personal, more flexible, and easier to run right.
Yes, for Alligator and Nutria hunts, spectators are allowed for $250 per day, but space is limited due to boat capacity.
Hog and coyote hunts are open year-round and can be booked anytime during the year, depending on availability.
Nutria season is technically open year-round, but Mareno’s books these hunts primarily in February and March, after duck season closes and marsh conditions are better.

For gators under 10 feet, taxidermy skinning/cleaning is $150.
For gators 10 feet and over, it is $250.
No problem. Reach out directly by email at marenosoutfitters@gmail.com or message Mareno’s Outfitters or Ryan Mareno on Facebook.
