NOTE: Hold cursor over picture to see description.
If you've ever asked yourself, "Where can I go hunting around here?" You've hit the bull's eye for answers! Place your sights on THIS SITE as your guide.
You just bought that shiny new muzzleloader, Winchester rifle, or "whatever" shotgun. You're itchin' to use it. But you've got a problem:
- You don't own private property.
- You can't afford a private club lease.
- You still haven't won the Florida lottery.
What do you do?
You allow me to share the knowledge I've gained from over 50 years of living in the great outdoors of North Florida.
I was born and raised on back strap and Browning rifles. I've tracked for whitetail deer in the Apalachicola National Forest, hunted for lost hounds in Mud Swamp, and wrangled with wild turkeys at the rattlesnake curve. I've even shot coyotes off the back side of a deer.
But enough about me. We need to find YOU that perfect spot. Let me and my lovely wife Brenda help.
Through my own personal experience, I have discovered great places on North Florida public land. If you live in or visit the Tallahassee, Florida, area you will find public land in almost any direction you go.
So sit back and take a few minutes to browse through the website. I know you will find the perfect spot for your next hunting experience.
This is your information guide to hunting on public land in Florida. You can find valuable information on where to hunt in the many wildlife management areas as well as up-to-date regulations for hunting in Florida. You will also find articles, stories, photos, and much more as you browse through the website. We welcome your stories, photos, and any other contributions you care to share with other hunters like yourself!
| Our mission is to provide the dedicated working man or woman who loves to hunt with the information needed to find no-cost hunting places on public land in Florida and to be properly informed of the hunting rules and regulations. |

Photo of the Week:
This alligator snapping turtle was making his way across a lonely stretch of forest road when I snapped his photo. Sometimes humans think the grass is always greener on the other side. I suppose in turtle thinking, the swamp is always wetter on the other side; which could explain why this big fellow was taking a stroll down the ole dirt road. These turtles are the largest freshwater turtle in the world; and make their homes in the wetlands and rivers of the southeastern United States. They can grow to an average weight of 150 to 180 pounds and live to be an average of 80 to 120 years of age. Alligator snapping turtles are fun to look at, but you might want to keep your distance. They are known to have a quick and forceful bite that could quickly sever a human finger.
While you are out in the woods hunting or scouting for your favorite game animal, remember that an alert and aware hunter or huntress can always find something interesting to see!

FUN STUFF:
Farming for Wildlife's "Watch Him Grow" is back for its second season. Last year we got to watch Sudden Impact grow what did become the biggest whitetail antlers EVER! Sudden Impact died of a blood infection last season and even with two weeks left to grow still made almost 500 inches! This year we get to watch Primetime, a buck who at 3 years old last year grew a set of antlers that scored 308" and had over a 27 inch inside spread. He's got it all - mass, width, palmation and drop-tines - an unbelievably impressive buck! Please join us at www.farmingforwildlife.com to watch Primetime grow his "headgear" this year.
