Legacy Hunt - Airboat access. - Local knowledge. - Varied techniques.
Experience the thrill of airboat hunting across Florida City's diverse backcountry terrain with experienced guide Ray Shetty. Our legacy hunt program adapts to changing conditions with proven techniques including spot-and-stalk, pass shooting, and jump shooting depending on what the day brings. Whether you're tracking through shallow marshes or navigating the unique ecosystem of the Kaveri River Basin area, our local guides provide access to prime hunting grounds that others simply can't reach. We tailor each experience to your skill level, ensuring both beginners and seasoned hunters enjoy a productive day in the field with safety as our top priority. Ray's deep knowledge of Florida's hunting grounds means you'll get an authentic outdoor experience with a guide who knows exactly how weather patterns and seasonal changes affect local wildlife movement.
Our signature Legacy Hunt package offers a comprehensive Florida hunting experience led by Ray Shetty, a seasoned guide who knows these waterways like the back of his hand. This full-day adventure costs $499 per hunter with all necessary equipment provided, including airboat transportation to access remote hunting areas other outfitters can't reach. We accommodate groups of up to three hunters per trip, making this ideal for small groups or family outings. The package includes professional guidance using various hunting techniques adapted to conditions and wildlife movement patterns. For those looking to customize their experience, we also offer half-day options starting at $299. Booking is straightforward—secure your preferred date online with a 25% deposit, and we'll confirm availability within 24 hours. September through February typically offers prime hunting conditions, but Ray runs specialized trips year-round based on seasonal regulations and wildlife patterns.
Florida City's unique position as the gateway to the Everglades creates ideal hunting conditions throughout much of the year. Morning hunts (6 AM to noon) typically yield the best results as wildlife is most active during these hours, though our afternoon sessions can be productive when weather patterns shift. Be prepared for Florida's changeable conditions—partly cloudy days with intermittent rain actually improve hunting success by increasing wildlife movement. We recommend wearing moisture-wicking clothes in earth tones, waterproof boots, and bringing sun protection regardless of season. First-time hunters should know that airboat hunting requires some patience and observation skills, but Ray excels at coaching newcomers through the experience. The terrain varies dramatically from open water to dense vegetation, giving us multiple tactical options depending on conditions. For optimal comfort, bring a lightweight rain jacket even on clear forecasts, as Florida's afternoon showers can develop quickly.
Your airboat hunting adventure begins with an early morning meet-up at our Florida City outpost, where Ray will brief you on the day's plan based on recent wildlife activity and weather conditions. We recommend arriving 30 minutes before your scheduled departure to get fitted with any necessary gear and complete a short safety orientation. Trips typically run 6-8 hours for full-day experiences, though we're flexible with timing based on conditions and hunter preference. All necessary hunting equipment can be provided, though experienced hunters are welcome to bring their preferred gear (subject to safety inspection). We supply water and light snacks, but recommend bringing additional refreshments for longer trips. Our airboats are specially modified for hunting purposes with noise reduction technology and specialized stability features. Family groups with older children (12+) are welcome with proper licensing, and we proudly maintain a perfect safety record across all our guided hunts.
