Interested alligator-hunting equipment manufacturers and retailers are invited to attend to display and demonstrate their equipment in conjunction with the seminars.

On-premise sales are restricted at certain sites and vendor space may be limited. Vendors should pre-register with the Department of Natural Resources by calling 803-734-3886.
