I recently had the opportunity to go on a gator hunt in Osceola County with Cannon from Osceola Experience Outfitters, and it exceeded every expectation. Cannon's knowledge of the area, alligator behavior, and local waterways was incredibly impressive, and his passion for the gator hunting was evident from the moment we launched the boat.

What really stood out was his determination and work ethic. He put us on a nice gator, stayed focused throughout the hunt, and made the entire experience both exciting and enjoyable. Whether sharing stories, explaining techniques, or navigating the challenges of the hunt, Cannon remained professional, patient, and dedicated to making the trip a success.

If you're looking for an authentic Florida gator hunting experience with a knowledgeable guide who genuinely cares about his clients having a great time, I highly recommend Cannon and Osceola Experience Outfitters.

My husband and son had an incredible experience gator hunting with Cannon last week. Cannon is a true professional with state of the art equipment, knowledge of the hunt and area, and makes sure you are hands on for every part of the hunt. Memories were made that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a guided gator experience in Florida!

I have hunted all over the country and Cannon is one of the best guides I have ever been out with. He knew the water, put us on gators fast, and stayed calm and clear when it mattered. Everything was safe, well run, and handled right with top notch equipment.

He is great to be around, straight with you about what to expect, and clearly takes pride in his work. If you want an alligator guide, book Cannon. I would go back with him tomorrow.

He was easy to work with and schedule especially with our schedule restrictions due to the tournament we were there for.
The experience was life changing. We are from the west so never experienced anything like this. Everyone should try this backwoods Floridian experience. I caught myself just smiling and taking pictures trying to take it all in. Absolutely incredible. We had success and Cannon went above and beyond to focus on my son having a great experience. He was professional yet easy to talk with, super patient and made us feel very safe in unfamiliar territory.  I felt like I was in a movie with the incredible views and experience. I would say it's once in a lifetime but we will for sure be back. My only regret is I didn't have all my boys with me. Looking at calendar now to return.

I had my 9-year old son and 7-year old daughter. Cannon had Bows and a Trident for us! Really a great time and unique experience! Big Mahalo Cannon!

Cannon jumped in no problem and even with flying back from Canada the night before, that is dedication and customer focus.  He knows his fishing areas and gives the full experience with tons of knowledge and history.  We had storms and a vehicle mis hap but he continued to find a way to make everything work out.  We shot about 30 fish representing 6 species and we shot about a few hundred shots.   Definitely give Cannon a call, he will be your new bow fishing guide for life!!!
