What sets our hunts apart is our intimate knowledge of local deer patterns.

The Florida Everglades offer unique hunting terrain that creates special opportunities for White-tailed Deer hunting. Unlike northern deer, our local population has adapted to the subtropical environment, using the dense vegetation and water features to their advantage. The deer here tend to move along natural ridges and hammocks, creating predictable travel corridors that experienced guides can anticipate. During fall seasons, bucks become more active as the rut approaches, making October an excellent time for trophy hunting.
Our hunting grounds feature a mix of open grasslands and wooded hammocks that provide both feeding areas and bedding cover for deer. This diverse habitat supports healthy populations and creates perfect conditions for our spot-and-stalk approach. The ability to quickly and quietly move between hunting zones via airboat gives us a significant advantage over traditional hunting methods, especially when deer change their patterns due to weather or pressure.
Your hunt begins at our Florida City marina where you'll meet Instructor Ray and prepare for a day in the field. We recommend arriving 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time to review safety procedures and get fitted with any necessary gear. Our hunts typically start early morning or mid-afternoon (like our 3:15 pm departure) to coincide with peak deer movement times. We provide transportation via our specialized hunting airboats, which accommodate up to three guests comfortably.
Wear weather-appropriate clothing in neutral or camouflage patterns, and bring rain gear regardless of the forecast – Florida weather can change quickly as we experienced on our recent hunt. We supply all hunting equipment, but feel free to bring your preferred firearm if you wish. Our trips include basic refreshments, but we recommend bringing additional water and snacks. Most importantly, bring your hunting license and any required tags – we can help with information about obtaining these before your trip.
