White-tailed deer in Florida's brush country present unique hunting challenges and opportunities. Unlike their northern counterparts, Florida whitetails tend to be slightly smaller but extremely wary, having adapted to the dense undergrowth that characterizes this region. They're masters of using thick cover to their advantage, which makes brush hunting techniques particularly effective. During the fall, bucks become more active and less cautious during the rut, offering better hunting opportunities. Florida's deer prefer to bed in the thickest available cover during daylight hours, becoming more active during early morning and late afternoon. Their diet consists primarily of native browse, agricultural crops, and various mast when available. Ray's extensive experience hunting these areas means he understands their movement patterns, feeding habits, and how weather conditions affect their behavior – knowledge that significantly improves your chances of a successful harvest.
Preparing for your Florida City brush hunting trip starts with proper planning. Hunts typically begin early morning or late afternoon when deer are most active, with meeting times coordinated upon booking. Wear camouflage appropriate for Florida's brush country and comfortable boots suitable for stalking through thick cover. Ray provides guidance on shot placement and field tracking, though bringing your own properly sighted rifle and ammunition is recommended. All hunters must have valid Florida hunting licenses and appropriate deer tags before arrival – we can assist with information on obtaining these if needed. The hunting areas are accessible via 4x4 vehicles to navigate the terrain, and Ray knows exactly which areas are producing the best results based on recent activity patterns. For a comfortable experience, bring water, insect repellent, and weather-appropriate gear, as Florida conditions can change quickly.
