Florida City offers unique hunting terrain with a mix of open fields, wooded areas, and transitional zones that white-tailed deer prefer. Morning and evening hours typically provide the best activity, with deer moving between feeding and bedding areas. During warmer months, focus on water sources and shaded areas where game seek relief from the heat. In cooler weather, south-facing slopes and sunny clearings attract deer looking to warm up. The best hunting conditions usually feature partly cloudy skies with light winds to mask your scent and movement. We recommend wearing layered clothing appropriate for the season, as Florida weather can change quickly. First-time hunters will appreciate Ray's patient instruction and emphasis on ethical hunting practices.
Your hunting adventure begins early, typically meeting at our outfitter shop 30 minutes before sunrise. We'll discuss the day's strategy over a hot breakfast before heading to our hunting grounds. All necessary equipment is provided, including field dressing gear and game transport. For beginners, we offer a brief safety and shooting instruction before the hunt. Our guided trips are family-friendly for those 12 and older (with proper licensing), and we welcome hunters of all experience levels. The typical hunt wraps up by late afternoon, though we remain flexible based on game movement and weather conditions. After a successful day, we can assist with basic field dressing and meat processing recommendations.
