Trip Overview

This ain't your average turkey hunt, folks. We're talking prime Osceola territory in the heart of Florida, where these wily birds strut their stuff. Our all-inclusive package means you just need to show up with your weapon of choice - shotgun or bow - and we'll take care of the rest. We keep groups small, maxing out at 4 hunters, so you get plenty of one-on-one time with our expert guides. They'll share their tried-and-true tactics for calling in those big toms and help you pattern the birds for the best shot at success. And if you're feeling adventurous, we've got some of the most affordable self-guided hunts around, perfect for those who like to do their own thing.

Inside the Hunt

When it comes to Osceola turkeys, stealth is the name of the game. These birds have eyes like hawks and will spook at the slightest movement. We'll set you up in prime locations - think palmetto thickets and oak hammocks - where the gobblers like to strut their stuff. For shotgun hunters, we're talking tight patterns and heavy loads to bring down these tough birds. Bow hunters, get ready for some heart-pounding action as we work to call those toms in close. Our guides are pros at reading turkey sign, from scratch marks to dusting areas, and they'll teach you how to spot the subtle clues that lead to filled tags.

Tracking Tips & Terrain

Florida's terrain can be a mixed bag, from swampy lowlands to dry pine flats. We'll be covering ground, so come prepared with good boots and clothes that can handle the heat and humidity. Early mornings are prime time, so we'll be up before the sun, listening for those telltale gobbles. Our guides are masters of the slate call, box call, and diaphragm, and they'll show you how to sweet-talk those gobblers right into your lap. We'll teach you the art of the jake decoy setup and how to use the landscape to your advantage for a successful ambush.

Target Game Breakdown

The Osceola turkey is the star of the show here, and for good reason. These birds are smaller than their northern cousins, but what they lack in size, they make up for in attitude. Known for their dark coloration and distinctive wing feathers with less white barring, Osceolas are a trophy that serious turkey hunters dream about. They're native only to the Florida peninsula, making them a true bucket-list bird.

Osceolas are known for being particularly wary and challenging to hunt. They've got a knack for hanging up just out of range, testing even the most patient hunters. Spring is the prime season, when the toms are in full strut, putting on a show that'll make your heart race. Hearing that gobble echo through the Florida woods at dawn is something you've got to experience to believe.

These birds typically weigh between 16-25 pounds, with impressive beards that can reach 9-10 inches long. Spurs on mature toms can be downright wicked, often exceeding an inch in length. It's not uncommon to see multiple birds together, so be ready for some quick decision-making when that group of jakes comes in, followed by the boss tom.

Why Hunters Keep Coming Back

There's something special about chasing Osceolas in their native Florida habitat. Our repeat clients tell us it's the combination of challenging hunting, expert guidance, and the chance to knock out one of the four birds needed for a Grand Slam that keeps them coming back year after year. Plus, let's be honest - escaping to the Florida woods for some spring hunting ain't a bad way to spend a long weekend.
