Highlights of The legacy hunt
The legacy hunt with Ray Chaters delivers an authentic Florida hunting experience focused on white-tailed deer in the diverse ecosystem around Florida City. The airboat transportation adds a unique dimension to the hunt, allowing access to remote backcountry areas where deer haven't experienced heavy hunting pressure. This October hunt demonstrated how the cooler, overcast weather patterns actually enhance deer movement throughout the morning hours.
Our hunting approach combines traditional spot-and-stalk techniques with strategic pass shooting, giving hunters flexibility based on terrain and conditions. The mixed wetland and upland habitat provides excellent cover for stalking, while the airboat allows us to quickly reposition when needed. The legacy hunt package is designed for both first-time deer hunters and experienced sportsmen looking to add quality venison to the freezer while enjoying Florida's distinctive hunting landscape.
Local Game Insights
White-tailed deer in the Florida City region display unique adaptations to the subtropical environment. They tend to be smaller than their northern counterparts but remain highly prized for both their meat quality and challenging hunting. The mosaic of wetlands and higher ground creates ideal edge habitat where deer frequently travel, feed, and bed. October marks a prime hunting period as the slightly cooler temperatures increase daytime movement, particularly during overcast conditions like we experienced on this trip.
The terrain around Florida City features a mix of open grasslands, palmetto thickets, and cypress stands—all accessible via airboat. This diverse habitat requires hunters to be versatile in their approach, sometimes stalking through cover and other times setting up for pass shooting opportunities. The deer respond well to patient, quiet hunting techniques, and spotting their distinctive white tails when they flag often provides the first indication of their presence in the dense vegetation.
Plan Your Hunting Trip Day
Our airboat hunts begin with an early morning meet-up at our Florida City location, where we'll review safety protocols and hunting strategy before heading out. The airboat accommodates up to three hunters comfortably, with space for gear and harvested game. We recommend wearing neutral-colored, weather-appropriate clothing and bringing personal hunting essentials including licenses, while we provide transportation and field dressing assistance.
Most hunts last approximately 6-8 hours, giving ample time to work different areas based on deer movement and activity. Morning hunts typically offer the best opportunities, though we adapt based on weather conditions and deer patterns. We prioritize safety throughout the experience, ensuring proper shooting lanes and maintaining communication between all hunters and your guide. For the most comfortable experience, bring sun protection, bug spray, water, and snacks for the day afield.
