Iguana Busting: South Florida's Eco-Hunt

Ready to take on South Florida's scaly invaders? Our full-day iguana hunt puts you right in the thick of the action, blending outdoor adventure with hands-on conservation. You'll be zipping through the 'Glades or stalking through urban greenspaces, air rifle in hand, on a mission to tackle one of Florida's most notorious nuisance species. It's not just about bagging lizards – this is your chance to learn about local ecosystems, sharpen your marksmanship, and make a real difference in preserving Florida's native flora and fauna.

Hunt Rundown

Buckle up for an 8-hour private iguana hunting expedition that'll have you feeling like a real Florida frontier scout. We're talking up to three guests (with wiggle room for more if you've got a bigger posse), armed with air rifles and ready to roll. Depending on where those pesky iguanas are hanging out, we might be cruising by boat or hoofing it on land. Don't sweat the gear – we've got you covered with top-notch air rifles, scopes, and all the safety stuff you need. Plus, you'll have a pro spotter by your side, helping you zero in on those green menaces and showing you the ropes of responsible hunting.

Gator Country Meets Lizard Town

This ain't your typical swamp tour. We're diving into the nitty-gritty of wildlife management, South Florida style. Your guide's gonna school you on the ins and outs of air rifle handling – it's all about finesse, not force. We'll break down the state regs so you know what's what, and get you dialed in on proper aiming techniques. It's hands-on learning at its finest, folks. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or a total greenhorn, you'll walk away with new skills and a deeper appreciation for Florida's wild side. Just remember, we're playing for keeps here – that deposit's non-refundable, so come ready to commit to the cause.

Lizard Wrangling 101

Alright, let's talk strategy. Iguana hunting is a whole different ball game from your typical deer stand or duck blind. These critters are quick, crafty, and masters of camouflage. We'll be using air rifles – quiet, precise, and perfect for urban environments where those big boomsticks just won't fly. Your guide will show you how to spot the telltale signs of iguana activity – from gnawed plants to suspicious burrows. We might be belly-crawling through brush one minute, then perched in a boat the next, always on the lookout for that flash of green. It's part sharpshooting, part detective work, and 100% Florida-style adventure.

Target Takedown: Green Iguana

Let's talk about our scaly nemesis – the green iguana. These aren't your average pet store lizards, folks. We're dealing with prehistoric-looking beasts that can grow up to 5 feet long, tip the scales at 20 pounds, and live for 10 years in the wild. Originally from Central and South America, these guys have made themselves right at home in South Florida, much to the dismay of... well, pretty much everything. They're like furry bulldozers with scales, chomping through native plants, burrowing under seawalls and sidewalks, and generally causing a ruckus in the ecosystem. Spring and summer are prime iguana season – that's when they're out in force, soaking up the sun and looking for love. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the rush of spotting one of these mini-dinos sunning on a branch or scuttling across a lawn. It's a mix of Jurassic Park and pest control, right in your backyard.

Why Hunters Dig It

This isn't just about bagging lizards – it's about being part of the solution to a real environmental challenge. Every iguana removed is a win for Florida's native species. Plus, it's a hunt like no other. Where else can you stalk prehistoric-looking critters through urban jungles and swampy backwaters? It's the perfect blend of conservation, marksmanship, and good old Florida weirdness. And let's be real – the stories you'll take home? Priceless. "There I was, face-to-face with a 5-foot iguana..." – that's cocktail party gold right there.

Book Your Lizard Safari

Ready to trade in your fishing rod for an air rifle and take on South Florida's most wanted reptiles? This full-day iguana hunt is more than just a unique outdoor adventure – it's your chance to play eco-warrior and experience the Sunshine State's wild side up close and personal. Whether you're a seasoned hunter looking for a new challenge or a nature enthusiast eager to learn about wildlife management, this trip's got something for everyone. Spots are limited, and those iguanas aren't going to catch themselves. So grab your sun hat, slap on some bug spray, and let's go bust some lizards! Book now and get ready for a Florida adventure that's as real as it gets.

Learn more about the specie

Iguana

Green iguanas are big lizards, often 4-5 feet long, that have become a real problem here in South Florida. They're not native, but they've thrived in our warm climate. You'll spot them basking in the sun on seawalls, in trees, or near canals. These guys can swim and climb like champs, so we hunt them by boat and on land. Spring and summer are prime seasons when they're most active. Folks enjoy targeting iguanas because it's a unique outdoor experience that helps control an invasive species. Plus, it's a chance to improve your marksmanship with air rifles. One local trick: look for their burrows near seawalls or canal banks. They often return to the same spots, so if you see signs of digging, set up nearby and stay patient. Remember, accuracy is key – we always aim for clean, ethical shots to dispatch them quickly.
