White-tailed deer are the most widespread deer species in North America, adaptable to various habitats from forests to agricultural areas. These deer are named for the distinctive white underside of their tail, which they raise as a warning signal when alarmed. - Florida's white-tailed deer tend to be smaller than their northern counterparts due to adaptation to warmer climates. - Bucks shed and regrow their antlers annually, with peak antler development in autumn.
This Florida City hunting trip delivered exactly what serious hunters look for - productive brush hunting with expert guidance from Ray Chaters. Our Monday October Guided Hunting Trip focused on still hunting and drive techniques perfectly suited to Florida's diverse terrain. Working both white-tailed and mule deer habitat, we employed push-through methods that proved highly effective in the afternoon hours.

Ray's local knowledge of deer movement patterns and seasonal behavior made all the difference, putting us in prime position when the deer began their evening activity.

Ray's expertise in reading deer sign and understanding movement patterns proved invaluable throughout the hunt.

Florida's white-tailed deer populations thrive in the diverse landscape of brush, open fields, and wooded areas around Florida City. The local deer have adapted to utilize thick cover during daylight hours, making strategic still hunting and drive techniques particularly effective. October represents a transition period as bucks begin establishing territories ahead of the breeding season, increasing daytime movement and making them more responsive to hunting pressure. The mix of terrain creates natural funnels and travel corridors that experienced guides like Ray can identify and utilize to position hunters for success. Hunters visiting this region appreciate the combination of challenging stalking conditions and healthy deer populations that make for an authentic and rewarding hunting experience.
Our guided hunting trips accommodate single hunters or small groups, with transportation provided to and from hunting areas via 4x4 vehicles suited for accessing remote locations. We recommend wearing appropriate camouflage clothing suited to Florida's terrain and weather conditions. All hunters should bring their valid hunting license, appropriate tags, and personal hunting equipment including rifles or bows depending on your preference. We typically begin morning hunts before daybreak and afternoon hunts approximately 3-4 hours before sunset for optimal deer movement periods. Safety is our priority, with comprehensive briefings provided before each hunt, ensuring everyone understands positioning and communication protocols during drives or still hunting sessions.
