Duck Hunting-South Florida Duck Hunting Adventures
We offer duck hunting on both private wetlands and public waters which include Lake Okeechobee and the Florida Everglades.
PRIVATE
LANDS. These hunts are conducted on private marshes ranging in size from 200 acres or
more to small ponds of 50 acres. We have a total of approximately 450 acres
divided into two separate areas which we hunt on Saturdays and Sundays.
These areas are managed for waterfowl. We have Japanese Millet, Chufas, Rice, Mud Plantains and Smartweed planted in these areas. These area's have their own water control structures and pumps for water control.
We have a hunter minimum of two persons and can arrange hunts for groups as large as twenty-four persons. Our hunts are out of pre-existing blinds over decoys.
We have dozens of blinds located in excellent
areas which we rotate the shooting pressure. Our goal is not to shoot a blind
more than once per-week.
We have blinds located on dry ground as well as in the water such as ankle-deep, some in knee-deep water as well as elevated permanent 4x8 wooden blinds with chairs. We have single hunter blinds available but most blinds are for two shooters. We also utilize phantom layout boats.
These
hunts are generally EXCELLENT duck hunts. We have had shooters limit on birds
from these blinds in thirty minutes. We only shoot blinds if there are plenty of ducks as we
pre-scout all of our blinds prior to the hunt. We charge $200.00 per-person per
hunt, two-person minimum.
We don't hunt out of inner tubes. We use swamp buggy's and four wheel drive trucks as well as go-devil boats and airboats to place hunters in their blinds.
PUBLIC
WATERS. Our public water hunts are conducted from airboats utilizing phantom
layout boats. These hunts are for parties of three only. Our boat holds three
clients and three layout boats and all necessary equipment very comfortably.
Our boat is a 2004 18' Hamant. It has seating for four adults including the driver. It has a 550 horsepower, 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet engine with a stinger gearbox with a 82 inch three blade maximus thruster propeller. It has a 40 gallon fuel tank, stainless engine cage, polymer bottom, four trolling batteries with dual lenco trolling motors with remote handheld controls, three storage lockers, two independent live wells, brush guard, non-skid inside finish, AM/FM CD stereo, Garman chart plotter/GPS, VHF radio, and all required US Coast Guard equipment.
I
am a US Coast Guard Licensed Captain and CPR and First Aid Certified as well as
Insured.
We conduct our public water hunts on Lake Okeechobee as well as in the Florida Everglades. These hunts are generally pre-scouted and GPS located prior to the hunt.
Season dates are generally for early teal the last week of September and the general season starts the weekend before thanksgiving and ends late January
We
realize that all duck hunters are not the same. Some hunters like pre-built
blinds some don't. Some hunters won't hunt out of anything but a layout boat
while others won't get in them. We strive to accommodate all duck hunters
regardless of their interests.
We have an additional link which keeps up with the current as well as the past several years of duck hunting seasons hunts as well as conditions.
