Deer, Wild Hog, Gator, and Exotics Hunting in Florida
*Info and prices on web site are subject to change
without notice, please contact us for most accurate and
current info.
Hogs/Boars/Pigs/Sows:
Boars are also known as wild swine or simply wild
pig and are native to much of Eurasia, North Africa,
and the Greater Sunda Islands. Now they inhabit
and wreak havoc on farms, woodlands and swamps.
They will eat just about anything. Each year they
cause hundreds of thousands of dollars by
damaging our farms and wetlands.
Wild pigs or feral pigs are the second-most popular
animal hunted in Florida. You can hunt on private
property with landowner permission. Wild pigs
may be trapped and hunted year round using any
legal to own rifle, shotgun, crossbow, bow, pistol,
spear or air gun. There is no size or bag limits and
you can harvest both male and female. No hunting
license is required. A gun and light at night permit
is not required to harvest wild hogs with a gun and
light on private lands with the landowner’s
permission.
Gator or Alligators are opportunistic feeders and
some are very aggressive. Especially if they are
feed by humans. Once they lose the natural fear of
man they can become a nuisance gator and usually
have to be relocated or harvested. A gators diet
includes any prey species that is abundant and
easily accessible for consumption. Baby gators or
Juvenile alligators eat primarily insects, small fish,
and other invertebrates. Mature Gators or adult
alligators eat fish, deer, cats, dogs, snakes, turtles,
small mammals, and birds. Florida law states that it
is illegal to kill, injure, capture or possess an
alligator or its eggs or to attempt to do any of those
things without a permit.
Axis Deer are also called the Indian Deer, Spotted
Deer, and the Chital Deer, native to India and Sri
Lanka. The male stands about 40 inches tall and can
weigh between 150 to 250 lbs. They are considered
by some to be the most beautiful deer in the world
and some hunters say their venison is the best
tasting of all deer.
Osceola Turkey are similar to the eastern turkeys
but smaller and darker in color. They are only found
in the peninsula of Florida. They are praised by the
turkey hunter looking for the grand slam. This
species of turkey is named after Chief Osceola the
famous Seminole Chief. Florida is the only place in
the world with a wild Osceola Turkey population. It
is estimated that 85,000 to 110,000 turkeys are
believed to live throughout the Florida peninsula.
With the density and thickness of the woods,
swamps and other surrounding habitat that an
accurate estimate of the population is impossible to
calculate.
Whitetail Deer are also call white-tailed deer or
Virginia deer. They are a midsized deer that is
native to the United States, Mexico, Central
America, Canada and South America. In the
summer they usually hang around fields or
meadows. They use the forests for shade to cool
down. In the cold of winter they will keep to forests
or thick brush to get shelter from the cold. Males or
bucks weigh about 150 pounds and the females or
does around a hundred pounds. We have a large
population of trophy whitetail that inhabits our
ranch.
Blackbuck Antelope are also called the Indian
antelope because it is found in India, Nepal and
Pakistan. Blackbuck Antelope are a beautiful
antelope with a brown to a blackish brown upper
body with a white coloration on the stomach
underbelly, their rump and on the insides of their
legs. Their face is dark with white circles around
the eyes, ears and chin. The male antelope can
weigh around 80-90 pounds with a top weight of
around 125 pounds. The females usually around 65
pounds with a max weight of about 75 to 80
pounds.
Fallow Deer is a medium size deer and has a coat
that is usually yellow brown with white spots in
summer and is more uniformly grayish brown in
winter. The Fallow deer flee or elude predators by
using a stiff legged jump and running technique
called stotting. They are one of the few species of
deer that do not lose their spots after birth. Full
grown male Fallows can weigh from 135 to 205
pounds. The females are much smaller and weight
about 6 to 95 pounds. They are extremely fast
because of their powerful legs.
Water Buffalo. The water buffalo is often called an
Asian buffalo which is the largest member of the
Bovini tribe or family. This includes the bison, Yak,
African buffalo and multiple species of wild cattle.
The male buffalo has large backward curving
crescent-shaped horns with deep ridges on their
surface that can be close to 5 feet long or longer.
The females are much smaller in size but also have
horns. In many parts of Asia they are used for
transportation and plowing. These huge beasts can
weigh from 600 to 1,300 pounds or more!
Rams we have on are ranch are the Texas Doll,
Barbados or Black Belly Ram and the Black
Hawaiian Ram. The Texas Doll is a hybrid cross
between Mouflon ewes and Rambouillet rams.
They are a white Corsican sheep that was bred
solely for hunting. The Barbados or Blackbelly is a
breed of domestic sheep descending from the
Caribbean island of Barbados.
Island Goat is a type of domestic goat derived from
feral goats that were isolated on San Clemente
Island. This island is one of the Channel Islands off
of the California coast. They were brought here by
the Spanish missionaries around 1875. Both male
and female are horned.
Bison are huge animals with thick coats that
allowed them to survive the ice age. They clear
back snow and brush with their massive heads
when grazing in the winter. They can weigh more
than 2,000 pounds and their size is impressive.
Believe it or not these huge beasts can reach a top
running speed of over 40 miles per hour. They once
numbered 30-60 million in North America. The
Indians used them for found and shelter. Their
numbers were decimated as expansion pressed
westward almost bringing them to extinction. No
other species on Earth had declined so quickly.
Several Native American tribes are working to grow
bison numbers on the vast grasslands they manage.
Red Deer The red deer is one of the largest species
of deer. The stags or males can weigh upwards of
700 pounds. Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) are the
fourth largest species of deer and are often confused
with elk due to their similarity in appearance. Only
Red Deer males, referred to as Stags or Harts, have
antlers which they begin growing in the spring
shortly after they’ve shed their previous season’s
antlers. The Stags grow a thicker darker grayer
colored coat with short neck “Ruff” or mane in the
fall. The red deer inhabits most of Europe,
Caucasus Mountains and Asia. They have also been
introduced to New Zealand, The United States
(Florida), Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina
and Australia.
Père David Deer is not your ordinary deer. They
have giant antlers with a head that is shaped similar
to a horse. They can weigh over 550 pounds. This
animal has a donkey like tail with hooves similar to
a cow with webbing between the toes for swimming
in the swamps and marsh lands of their native
China. They are great for eating pond vegetation.
They were nearly hunted to extinction only to be
saved on a Dukes estate.
Squirrels: We have several species of squirrels in
Florida. The Eastern Gray Squirrel, Southern Flying
Squirrel, Common Fox Squirrel, Big Cypress Fox,
Eastern Gray and the Mexican Grey squirrel. They
are a very predatorily orientated critter.
