Florida Brush Hunt - Whitetail habitat. - Afternoon success. - Private land access.
Brush hunting for white-tailed deer in Florida City offers some of the most challenging and rewarding hunting experiences in the Sunshine State. Our August afternoon hunt showcased the perfect blend of still hunting and drive hunting techniques that work exceptionally well in Florida's dense palmetto and oak hammock terrain. Guide Ray Shetty has mastered these local environments, knowing exactly where deer movement occurs even during the warmer months. The partly cloudy skies provided ideal conditions for our small-group outing, with multiple jump shooting opportunities as we pushed through the thick Florida cover. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or looking for a private guided experience, these hunted grounds deliver consistent white-tailed deer activity year-round. The varied terrain throughout our hunting area creates perfect habitat pockets that hold deer consistently.

Florida City's hunting grounds offer unique challenges and opportunities you won't find elsewhere in the state. The thick palmetto understory and oak hammocks create perfect bedding areas and travel corridors for white-tailed deer. During summer months like August, focus on hunting during the first and last few hours of legal shooting light when deer movement increases. Hydration is essential in Florida's heat – we recommend bringing at least 2 liters of water per hunter. Bug spray with DEET is non-negotiable as mosquitoes can be intense, especially near water sources. Wear lightweight, breathable camo that offers good ventilation while still providing concealment. Ray specializes in teaching hunters how to move quietly through thick brush, a critical skill for success in these environments. Florida's hunting season regulations vary by zone and method, so we'll ensure you have the proper licenses and tags before your trip.
Your brush hunting trip with Ray typically begins with a safety briefing and strategy session at our meeting point. We provide transportation to and from the hunting grounds in our 4x4 vehicles equipped to navigate Florida's sometimes challenging terrain. While we can accommodate hunters of various experience levels, some basic fitness is recommended as brush hunting may involve walking through dense cover. All hunters must have valid Florida hunting licenses and deer tags, which we can help arrange before your arrival. For gear, we recommend bringing your preferred firearm (shotguns with slugs work well in our thick cover), comfortable boots, and weather-appropriate clothing. Scent control products are highly recommended as Florida deer have excellent noses. Morning hunts typically start 1-2 hours before sunrise, while afternoon hunts begin around 1:00-2:00 PM as conditions dictate. Family groups are welcome with proper licenses.
