Florida
Deer Hunting
Our Florida hunting for deer (Florida
whitetail) is conducted on private land in Glades, Highlands
and Okeechobee county. The hunting area consists of several hundred
acres which is surrounded by thousands of acres owned by other
property land owners. The terrain on our land and the surrounding
land around our land varies from palmetto thickets to oak trees
and other hardwoods. Grass fields, cow pastures, ponds and marsh
areas are scattered throughout the area.

HUNTING METHOD
Still hunting - sitting
still is the most successful way to hunt deer. stalking very quietly
or doing both is the only method of deer hunting permitted on
our hunting land. Trampling through the woods from one end of
the property to the other in hopes of sneaking up on a deer is
the poorest method of deer hunting there is!
We
do not provide a guide or clean any kills made on our deer hunts, nor do we guarantee a
kill, or that you will find signs of game in the area, or that
game will be in the area, or even be seen!
No guarantees,
express or implied, are made that our deer hunting package will
meet all of the hunter's expectations, specifically regarding
the hunting area, lack of game or signs that game are in the area,
productiveness, hunting conditions or weather conditions.
No
guarantees are made
that neighboring land owners who's land surrounds the hunting
area you will be hunting in will not be working on their land
mowing, plowing, bulldozing, removing trees by chainsaw, burning
brush, working live stock or any other chores land owners do.
Deer and other wildlife are not scared off by these type of chores
that are done thoughout the year which they have come habituated
acclimated to.
The mere fact
of just being in the woods enjoying nature, watching birds and other
wildlife is an aspect of hunting that is very rewarding in itself.
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 (turkey and
wild hogs) that are legal to take while they are deer hunting
"without" any additional charges or trophy fees.
DEER
HUNTING WEAPONS
All centerfire caliber
