| Turkey Hunts |
"Pete had us on birds from the moment we got into town, and all the way up to the last hour of the hunt, when my buddy tagged out. He runs a great operation, and has an awesome selection of different types of land and terrain to hunt. By the end of hunt, it felt like we'd known Pete our whole lives. If you're looking for an Osceola hunt, this is your guy!"

The details.
Palmetto Hammock offers guided Osceola turkey hunts all throughout Central Florida. Within the state, turkey season runs from March to April. Lodging is available, however, it is subject to outside bookings.
My guiding style varies from client to client depending on their experience and capabilities. A hunt can consist of running and gunning to cover as much ground as possible or it can be a more comfortable hunt within a ground blind. If a client wishes to take more responsibility during the hunt with calling or decision-making, I would love for them to have that experience. However, I am more than capable of taking the lead to increase the probability of a successful hunt.
The investment.
I take bookings as far as a year in advance. A deposit of 50% is required to secure the dates for the hunt. Guided hunts are tailored to each client’s timeline and needs such as lodging, meals, transportation, and duration of the trip. A typical schedule consists of the clients arriving the evening before the first day of hunting, two full days of hunting, and then departure the next morning. Please contact me for a specific quote.
"Coming from Illinois, I was hoping I did my research and picked the right place. Pete told me about birds he had been watching and boy was he right. Very knowledgeable hunter that had us on birds from the first hunt! Pete knows his birds and puts his time in scouting to give you the best chance he can! When I come back to Florida to hunt Osceolas, I will be coming back to Pete! 5 star hunt!"
