Hi.
I'm new here and just posted an introduction in the newbie forum, but thought that this part of the post probably should be put here too.
I am looking for a hog hunt in Florida while I'm there on vacation. I have been looking at many different outfitters websites. My first choice was Mike in gainesville (Trapper Dan) as he seamed like a fantastic guide. Unfortunately the drive from Miami is too long for a 1-day trip.
I would love to hear your recommendations on Hog hunting closer to Miami. Not farther from Miami than Ft. Meyers or Okeechobee. I'm looking for free range, no fence, fair chase hunt. spot and stalk-style or from tree stand.
I have been looking at Chappy's, Longwood Hammock, Outwest Farms and Osceola Outdoors.
I was thinking of maybe going for a small gator but I think I'll start with hog.
Which one of these would be the best hunting experience for me? I have no prior hunting experience but many years of rifle and hand gun training.
As regards to bringing home the meat/trophy head/scull I think it's gonna be difficult. Is there a way of donating the meat to somebody who would benefit from it? As I am on vacation I won't be able to cook pork every day for two weeks
I look forward to reading your recommendations.
Thanks
Sounds like you answered your own question. There's literally thousands of these places your looking for. Fenced in pens are a dime a dozen now,just look on Craigslist. I'd say to pick the cheapest one,they all have hogs in them.
Hi Skunk Ape
Thanks. Well, I'm actually looking for something that's NOT a fenced in pen. That's why I think it's harder to pick the right one. What would you recommend?
chappys outfitters at the big O has a great hunt , try the dog hunt and use the knife gets you up close and your heart pumping, they have a web site
I know a firefighter that has about 2500 acres in okeechobee hog hunts start at 100 for meat and 250? for trophies I think. If interested shoot me a message and I will give you his information.
