White-tailed deer in Florida's southern region have adapted specifically to the dense brush habitat that dominates our hunting grounds. Unlike their northern counterparts, these deer tend to be slightly smaller but incredibly wary, making them challenging and rewarding quarry. They follow predictable movement patterns through natural corridors in the thick vegetation, especially during October when breeding activity increases. Our local deer rely heavily on dense cover for bedding during daylight hours, becoming most active during early morning and late afternoon transitions. Ray Chaters has developed specialized drive hunting techniques that effectively move deer through these areas while maintaining control over their movement direction. Florida City's unique habitat creates natural pinch points where posting hunters can intercept deer pushed by drivers, substantially increasing success rates compared to random still hunting. Understanding these local deer behaviors and habitat preferences is crucial to our consistent success rates.
Prepare for your Florida City hunting trip by arriving ready for action. We recommend comfortable, weather-appropriate camouflage suitable for both sitting and moving through brush. Our hunts typically begin mid-afternoon, taking advantage of increasing deer movement toward evening feeding areas. We provide transportation to and from hunting locations on our property, along with guidance on the most effective positions based on wind direction and deer patterns. Beginners are welcome – we'll pair you with an experienced hunter to maximize safety and learning opportunities. All hunters must possess valid Florida hunting licenses and deer tags, which we can help arrange before your arrival. Be sure to bring adequate hydration, insect repellent, and a small pack for personal items during your hunt. Our pre-hunt briefing covers safety protocols, communication signals, and shot opportunities you can expect throughout the afternoon.
