Wild Boar Hunting-South Florida Wild Boar Hunting Adventures

WILD BOAR HUNTING-South Florida Wild Boar Hunts

EVERGLADES ADVENTURES has been in operation since 1989. The owner, Captain Mark Clemons has been professionally guiding since 1986, and is a native of South Florida. We operate on several privately owned properties in Hendry County. The properties in total consist of over 20,000 acres.

These properties are cattle, citrus, sugar cane and farming operations which consist of improved pastures, oak hammocks, swamps, water retention areas and cypress strands. We maintain a large supplemental feeding program with automatic solar powered feeders and have a large population of wild boar.

This full-day hunt lasts approximately four hours in the morning, then a hearty lunch and a break and then four more hours in the afternoon and includes drinks, ice and also taking care of the game harvested. Hunting licenses are not required for wild boar in Florida for residents or non-residents.

We offer spot and stalk hunting from vehicles (four wheel drive trucks or swamp buggy’s) or walking.

We offer year round hunting for our wild boar. The best time of year is during the summer months of April through September. Our hunts are strictly FAIR CHASE. We have no fenced in areas stocked with wild boar for you to hunt. This is NOT A PRESERVE type hunt. Our boars are totally wild animals not released from boxes, cages, or traps or held in enclosures prior to the hunt (yes, this commonly occurs). If you are looking for this type of a hunt there are numerous other operations, which offer them.

Most of the operations that are set up for these types of hunts offer a guaranteed harvest. We offer no such guarantee. We have found that pursuing boars with dogs stresses out all other wildlife on the areas and therefore, we do not utilize dogs on any of our wild boar hunts.

We currently have a summer special. During the months of May through September we offer a guaranteed opportunity for our hunters harvesting meat hogs. During these months it is very common to see several dozen meat hogs in a morning or an evening hunt.

We like to be on a very personal level with our clients. For this reason our hunts are limited to no more than four (4) hunters at a time. Most of our hunts are for only two persons. If your party is for two or more people you will most likely be the only party hunting with us at that time. At the time of your reservation we can inform you of how many persons will be hunting with us at that time if you desire.

For this hunt you will need full camouflage clothing in a dark green pattern such as Mossy Oak Full Foliage. You might require waterproof hiking boots; preferably knee-high as it is very possible we could get into some water. Your clothing should consist of long sleeve shirts, pants and a hat. Also, you may require some form of camouflage rain gear if you are hunting during the summer months. The mosquito’s can be pretty bad during the summer months so during this time especially plan on the long sleeve shirts and long pants.

We suggest the use of thirty caliber or larger rifles and for the handgun hunters, nothing smaller than a 357 magnum. Hunters shots generally range from thirty yards with a maximum shooting range of one hundred yards. Hunters will need some form of soft case for your gun for transporting it on our vehicles.

For our Bow hunters we suggest the use of a bow with a fifty-pound draw minimum. You should be proficient from ten to thirty yards.

We require a 50% (fifty-percent) deposit to confirm your reservation. The deposit is non-refundable, but is transferable as scheduling permits. Thirty-day advance notice of cancellation is required. Payments can be made by cash, personal or business check, traveler’s check, cashiers check or money order. Checks should be made payable to: EVERGLADES ADVENTURES.

Our rates are $375.00 per-person, per-day two person minimum. This price includes one meat hog up to 175 pounds. This includes the skinning and quartering of the animal. This also includes lunch or brunch depending on the client's choice. There are no guide or other fees, just the following trophy fees.

There is an additional $125.00 trophy fee for all boars harvested over 175 but less than 300 pounds. Total $500.00

Trophy boars harvested between 300 pounds and 400 pounds the additional trophy fee is $375.00. Total $750.00

Trophy boars harvested over 400 pounds the additional trophy fee is $625.00. Total $1000.00

We will discuss the trophy prior to the harvest. Most of these very large boars are harvested over bait. These are very wild boars much like very large bucks and must be hunted accordingly. These hunts are mostly done one on one with your guide.

You will need a cooler for transporting your meat home. You will need a large one if you are planning to use your taxidermist. We have several taxidermists that we recommend and can handle the complete process including handling the mount and the paperwork. We also would suggest you bring a still or video camera with extra film for the very excellent scenery.

If you are flying in, the Southwest Florida International Airport located in Fort Myers or the Ft. Lauderdale Airport are the most convenient. These airports are located approximately one and a half-hours from where you will be hunting. If you are flying into this area for the hunt we recommend that you acquire a rental car, which are available at the airport.

We have comfortable modern air-conditioned lodging on site and available for our guests that would like to hunt for more than one day or for our guest that would like some type of a combination hunt.
