White-tailed deer are the most common large game animal in Florida. Florida's subspecies (Odocoileus virginianus seminolus) is smaller than northern varieties but equally challenging to hunt. - Adapted to thrive in Florida's unique mix of palmettos, swamps, and hardwood hammocks. - Best hunted using still hunting techniques in thick brush country.
Tuesday October proved perfect for our Guided Hunting Trip through Florida City's brush country. With Ray Shetty leading the way, we used strategic still hunting techniques to navigate the thick palmetto patches and oak hammocks where white-tailed deer typically bed down. The partly cloudy skies and approaching storm front created ideal conditions for deer movement in the fall season. Our afternoon hunt paid off with a successful harvest - Nick made a clean shot on a nice white-tailed deer after carefully stalking through the dense Florida undergrowth. This guided hunting experience showcased why Florida's backcountry offers such excellent opportunities for brush hunting, especially during the cooler fall months when deer are more active. All equipment was provided for a complete hunting package.

White-tailed deer in Florida City adapt perfectly to the dense brush habitat, using thick cover to their advantage. These deer tend to be smaller than their northern counterparts but are incredibly elusive in the palmetto thickets and hardwood hammocks. During fall hunting season, bucks become more active and less cautious during the rut, creating prime hunting opportunities. The challenging terrain requires specialized still hunting techniques – moving slowly, pausing frequently, and using natural sound breaks like approaching storms to mask movement. This region's mix of thick cover and small natural clearings creates ideal ambush points where patient hunters can intercept deer as they travel between feeding and bedding areas.
