About
Florida Outdoor Experience specializes in Osceola turkey hunts, considered by many to be the hardest hunt of the elusive Grand Slam. Our guides have years of experience chasing mature gobblers and spend countless hours afield scouting every season. Florida Outdoor Experience takes a low number of birds off their properties, harvesting only mature gobblers, giving hunters the chance to encounter multiple long beards. Drummond Pond, like many of our farms, has a year-round feed program and food plots specifically planted for turkeys, which keep them roosting on our properties all year. Our feed program, combined with controlled burns, habitat management, and keeping predator numbers low, has been the key to our success.
Florida Outdoor Experiences offers a three-day Turkey Package, consisting of three morning hunts and three afternoon hunts. It includes first-class meals and lodging at The Farmhouse at Rocky Hammock Preserve, your own professional guide and one Osceola Turkey . While there are no guarantees in turkey hunting, we have had an incredible success rate giving hunters the opportunity to harvest a mature Osceola on our farms!
Florida Outdoor Experience conducts all it's Osceola Turkey hunts in Levy County, which make birds eligible to be registered with the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). We have a total of five farms that consist of pine plantations, prairies, oak hammocks, palmetto flats, and pastures which are prime habitat for long bearded gobblers. We have year round water, 100 acres in food plots, and a turkey management plan in place that not only promotes population, but keeps them on our properties. This prime environment ensures our clients multiple encounters with trophy birds!
Florida Outdoor Experience hunters arrive at Rocky Hammock Preserve on Thursdays, in time to unpack, sight-in, share some stories and relax on the breezeway before a delicious, home cooked meal. We book four hunters at The Farmhouse per three-day hunt and all hunters will have a personal guide. Our Pro-Staff members are excellent callers and know the ins and outs of all our properties and what it takes to get a Tom on the ground. In the State of Florida, turkey hunting hours are from one half hour before sunrise until sunset. The schedule allows for a morning hunt, a break for lunch, and an afternoon hunt each day. Making for an action-packed day of turkey hunting.

Florida Outdoor Experience was started in 2013 with one goal in mind, and that was to allow people from all over the world a place to come and experience a piece of Old Florida through hunting, fishing, or hiking. Because of our extensive conservation efforts very little has changed in this part of Florida since my Great Great Great Grandfather settled here in the early 1800's.
Florida Outdoor Experience not only offers the best in Florida hunting including the elusive Osceola Turkey, Trophy Whitetail deer, and Wild Hogs, but because of our on property ponds, and proximity to the Suwannee river and Gulf waters we also offer a variety of fishing to add to your experience. During the summer months we invite you to join us at our Tarpon camp in Homosassa, FL to chase the silver kings.
At FOE we believe there are no short cuts when it comes to achieving success. I tell my guides, all the time, the harder we work the luckier our clients are going to be. When you come to participate in one of our activities, you will see that our guides take nothing for granted and are always prepared to give you an unforgettable experience that will help create a memory of a life time.
