You still have to have a permit even on private land, unless you are a lisc trapper and removing problem gators through the state. My buddy has his xbow set up for gators and he uses an attached float and a homemade line dispenser. You don't want your xbow tied onto your arrow if you stick a good one, with the float you can drop it into the water and follow if neccessary.

glad i asked,would hate to see my ten point dissapear into the murkey depths.THAT WOULD SUCK!!thank ya'll for the info :rockon
