Need help with guided turkey hunt in south florida

[115grfmj]

I need advice. I'm going to Florida (Palm Beach) next october, and I want to
find guided hunt with lodging either 1 or two days. I have no idea how to find
the best or even any with in striking distance from south florida. Also Im
pretty sure that florida gobbler season is in the spring, can a private ranch
let you hunt gobblers in the fall. I'll be taking an older family member who
has always wanted to hunt turkey. Some place that also does boar would
be great. Please help.

If at all possible, try to do a public hunt as a guided hunt for Turkey in Florida is quite pricey. You'll find prices for guided hunts anywhere from $900 to $1600. This is because Florida is the only place in the country that has Oceola turkeys, which are apparently coveted by wing shooters. One place you can try is Big Cypress hunting located on the indian reservation off of Alligator Alley (I-75). I believe their guide fee is $900 and you can take wild boar there as well. I know there are several other outfitters for turkey, but I'm not too familiar with them. You can also try J&R outfitters out of indian town. I know they do boar, not sure about turkey, but they will be much closer to Palm Beach.

Good Luck.

A buddy of mine offers 3 day guided hunts for $500.00 per person on private property. Were about 1.5 hr from Palm Beach. Lodging available. Let me know if interested.Oh yeah, have hogs and predators too.
