Florida Deer Hunting

Our Florida hunting for deer (Florida whitetail) is conducted on private land in Glades County South Zone. The hunting area is approximately 1,500 acres of oak, pine, palm and other hardwoods. Sugar cane, grass fields, marsh and ponds are scattered throughout it.

DEER HUNTING METHOD: still hunting - sitting still which is the most successful way to hunt, stalking or doing both is the only method of deer hunting permitted on our hunting land.
We do not use dogs, provide a guide or clean any kills made.
A hunter may bring a portable stand if he likes. Because we are not a hunting preserve - each hunter may kill their legal limit of deer and as a bonus a hunter may take other game that is legal to take while they are deer hunting "without" any additional charges or trophy fees.
We do not guarantee a kill, that you will find game signs,
or that game will even be seen!

DEER HUNTING WEAPONS: all centerfire caliber rifles and handguns are permitted on our hunting land. Bow and arrow (35 pound draw), Muzzleloading gun (.40 caliber) and crossbows can also be used on our hunting land.

DEER HUNTING HOURS: a day of deer hunting begins one-half hour before sunrise and ends one-half hour after sunset. A hunter has the option to hunt all or any part of that span of of hours during his reserved day of hunting. Unused hour are not applicable to any other day of hunting.

TRANSPORTATION TO HUNTING AREA: a hunting party will follow us in their vehicle to the hunting area. Private vehicle parking is permitted on our hunting land.

THINGS TO BRING: standard hunting clothing and hunting gear. The wearing of hunter fluorescent-orange is not required on private land. Rain gear, bug spray, canteen of drinking water, snacks and a flash light.

FLORIDA HUNTING LICENSE: a Florida resident and non-resident hunting license, archery and, muzzleloading stamp is required to hunt deer. A computerized license option is now available in the state of Florida. Hunters may purchase their hunting license using a toll-free telephone number and a credit card. Telephone agents will issue a license number over the phone which will entitle hunters to hunt immediately or at some later date during the year.
