Florida Hunting Terrain & Wildlife Habitat

Florida is a low-lying state, much of which is only about 12 feet above sea level.  Those from out west may smile at the thought of Florida having a “mountain,” but they do.  The top elevation is 312 feet – that’s Sugarloaf Mountain in Lake County.  The state is famous for its human habitat, namely its sugary sand beaches, emerald waters and luxurious resorts!  But the state has an abundance of wildlife habitat as well.  Much of the state is lush, green forest, hundreds of miles of coastal marshes and protected state parks.  The state of Florida maintains a huge number of WMA (wildlife management areas) to insure the natural resources are protected.  When searching these areas, you will find the state is divided this way:

You can learn more about Florida’s hunting season dates and license requirements at Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation website, but the featured outfitters will be happy to assist you in planning the perfect hunt for your time and money.

 

Our featured Florida outfitters and preserves typically conduct hunts on private land, with the exception of alligator hunting, which is done on both private and public hunting areas.  The benefit of hunting on private land is obvious to most hunters – control over the property, food plots, harvest of animals and so on.  The featured guides and outfitters take great pains to maintain their properties and herds and flocks for the benefit of the hunters that come each year to share in the hospitality, friendship and adventures of hunting!
