Everglades Adventures offers the Seminole Whitetail subspecies O.v. Seminolus. Our bucks weigh on average 125 lbs. to 160 lbs. and stand 36" at the shoulder with chocolate colored antlers and a unique hide color. Our rut occurs in July and August fawns are dropped in early March. This type of whitetail deer hunt is incredibly unique and would be a great addition to any whitetail collection.

Hunting Free Range Seminole Whitetail

We offer seasonal only hunting for our FREE-RANGE whitetail. Our hunts are strictly FAIR CHASE on open lands. We have NO HIGH FENCED areas stocked with whitetail. This is NOT A PRESERVE type hunt or a CANNED HUNT. The harvest of a Whitetail is NOT guaranteed.

We offer spot and stalk hunting from 4WD vehicles or walking. We don't offer tree stand hunting.

We have maintained a 100% success rate for the past seven years.

Our whitetail hunts are limited to two hunters.

We are offering three types of hunts; they are listed under the rates column to the right of the page.

SELECTION AND HARVEST

The PRIVATE ranch where our whitetail hunts are conducted has received VERY LIMITED past hunting pressure. This 9000-acre property is pristine and very special. We are only harvesting SELECTED animals on this property. This property has a LARGE population of whitetail deer.

ALL HUNTS are FULLY GUIDED (your party and a guide). You will not be permitted to shoot until you and your guide have discussed the animal and a decision has been made to harvest that specific animal and discussed the price prior to harvest. CLIENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO HUNT WITHOUT A GUIDE.

DECISION TO HARVEST is made by the GUIDE.

DEFINITION OF HARVEST is the attempt to harvest the animal. Once the decision is made to harvest the animal and a price is agreed upon it is then up to the CLIENT to make the harvest. Discharging any weapon at one of our whitetails is considered HARVESTING.

It is the CLIENTS decision to shoot or NOT to shoot. If you are not comfortable with the shot presented, then please DON'T SHOOT. We are NOT conducting target practice. We are NOT responsible for BAD shooting skills. Please be proficient with the weapon of YOUR choice.

We will do everything possible to recover your animal but, YOUR GUIDE and EVERGLADES ADVENTURES assumes NO responsibility to recover your animal due to poor shot placement.

OUR TROPHY BUCKS

This particular property produced the number one typical whitetail harvested to date for Collier County, Florida. This buck scored 123 4/8 and was harvested in 2010.

The Florida Buck Registry was established in 1982 to provide hunters with a record of the number and quality of white-tailed deer taken in Florida. The minimum antler scores necessary to qualify is 100 Boone and Crockett inches for typical antlers and 125 for non-typical antlers.

Our trophy hunters have a good to excellent chance to harvest a Florida registry buck on one of our trophy hunts.

GENERAL

If you are flying in, the Southwest Florida International Airport located in Fort Myers or the Ft. Lauderdale Airport are the most convenient. These airports are located approximately an hour and a half from where you will be hunting. If you are flying into this area for the hunt we recommend that you acquire a rental car, which are available at the airport.

We have comfortable modern air-conditioned lodging on site for our guests if requested.
