Yes, You have to apply for and receive tags. I'm not sure how they determine the number of tags you get but I think it has something to do with where you're hunting or the size of your lease.
You should email CBS and let them know you are cooking a 12 foot gator for the game and maybe they'll put you on TV.
thats exactly what i said as I was looking at the pic....as I was saying it I saw your post..Its almost like I was reading you post, but wasn't..
my uncle gets tags because he owns some marsh land south of houma. it depends on the amount of land(uninhabitable) that you are hunting
