WEST PALM BEACH (AP) - Alligator hunting permits for Florida go on sale this week.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will begin
selling about 4,500 permits on a first come, first served basis
Tuesday morning.

Sales end June 9. Permits are limited to one per person, and
allow for two alligator kills. Applications can be found at any
county tax collector's office, stores that sell hunting licenses
and through the commission's Web site.

Florida residents will pay $271.50 per permit. For nonresidents,
it's $1,021.50.

If any permits remain, sales will reopen on June 10. That would
allow for a second license to be purchased at a cost of $61.50
regardless of residency.

The alligator hunting season runs from Aug. 15 through Nov. 1.
