Believe it or not Florida is one my favorite places to hunt. The one issue for some is that the best hunting is on private land and you need to pay a guide or outfitter to have some fun. It is the way that they do things. You know. When in Rome do as the Romans do.
Ages ago when I was a young man I hunted a place in Lake Wales on a large cattle ranch with a guide named Mike Acreman who ran Dixie Wildlife Safaris. I had tons of fun but sadly the business folded with some ranch troubles.
I hunted with my Dad for a day hunt at Little Lake Lodge where we shot four wild pigs. Dad used his shotgun and I used a 50 caliber Contender BP handgun.
One year I did go down and hunted the Townsend Ranch for a day hunt. I did shoot one small pig as I was pressed for time.
Almost two years ago my friends and I went on a guys trip to West Shore Outfitters. We had a ton of fun. I did have to cut my trip a tad short as it turned out Mom ended up at the ER 2x. I had no idea. She didn't want to ruin my hunt so to speak. I did get three pigs. Hunted out of box blinds. It reminded me of hunting black bear over bait. Again it is a great guys trip.
This spring we will go again. We're thinking of Black Tine Outfitters. In addition I did print out a bunch of information on other ranches.
