Target Game Breakdown
Axis Deer: These beauties are a hunter's dream. Known for their spotted coats and impressive antlers, Axis Deer offer a challenging and rewarding hunt. They're most active during dawn and dusk, so we'll focus our efforts during these prime times. Axis are known for their keen senses, so proper scent control and silent movement are crucial. The meat is considered some of the best venison you can get, making them a favorite among hunters who love good eating.
Band-tailed Pigeon: Don't let their size fool you - these birds provide an exciting hunt that'll test your shotgun skills. Band-tailed Pigeons are fast flyers and have excellent eyesight, making them a worthy adversary. We typically target them in the early morning or late afternoon when they're most active. Their preference for forested areas adds an extra layer of challenge to the hunt. Hunters love pursuing these birds for their sporty nature and the delicious, dark meat they provide.
American Alligator: Now we're talking about a hunt that'll get your heart racing. Alligator hunting is a unique experience that combines skill, patience, and a good dose of adrenaline. We use baited hook sets to attract these prehistoric beasts. The best time for gator hunting is typically at night when they're most active. Hunters prize alligators for their impressive size, the challenge of the hunt, and the various uses for their meat and hide. This is a hunt you'll be telling stories about for years to come.

Learn more about the animals
American Alligator
American alligators are the ultimate predator hunt. These prehistoric beasts can grow up to 14 feet long and weigh over 1,000 pounds. You'll find them in swamps, marshes, and slow-moving rivers across the Southeast. Late summer is prime hunting season when water levels are lower, concentrating gators in smaller areas. Hunters are drawn to the challenge and the unique experience – it's not every day you get to pursue an apex predator. Alligator hunting is as much about strategy as it is about firepower. We'll use baited lines or spot-and-stalk methods, depending on conditions. One key tip: aim for the soft spot just behind the eyes for a clean, ethical kill. It's crucial to approach with caution and respect – these aren't your average game animals. The meat is a bonus, with a taste often compared to chicken or fish. Gator hunting isn't just a hunt; it's an adventure you'll never forget.
Axis Deer
Axis deer are a challenging and rewarding game species. These spotted beauties, weighing 150-250 pounds, are known for their keen senses and skittish nature. You'll find them in open grasslands and light forests, often near water sources. They're most active at dawn and dusk, so that's when we'll be out there. Fall and winter are prime hunting seasons when bucks sport their impressive antlers. Hunters love axis deer for their lean, tender meat – some say it's the best venison you can get. These deer are fast and unpredictable, making for an exciting stalk. One trick I've learned: use a grunt call sparingly. It can pique their curiosity just enough to give you a shot. Remember, patience is key with axis deer. We might spend hours waiting for the right moment, but when it comes, you'll be glad we did.
Band-tailed Pigeon
Band-tailed pigeons are a unique upland game bird, larger than your average city pigeon. These birds, weighing about a pound, are found in the mountainous forests of the West. They're partial to oak and pine areas, often perching high in the canopy. Late summer and early fall are prime hunting times when they gather in flocks to feed on acorns and berries. Hunters enjoy pursuing band-tails for their sporty flight and tasty meat, often described as similar to dove but richer. These birds are fast flyers and can be challenging to hit, making for an exciting hunt. They have a habit of returning to the same feeding areas, so scouting is crucial. One tip: listen for their distinctive hooting call – it's a dead giveaway to their location. When you spot a flock feeding, be ready. They'll often give you just one chance before they're gone in a blur of wings.
