Florida Quail Hunting


Quail hunting is not only a tradition, but a family tradition in Florida. You don't need to be an avid hunter or a lot of money to get started. All you need is spirit and a great hunting location. At Watermelon Pond Plantation located near Gainesville in North Florida, highly trained bird dogs along with hunting guides are available for both seasoned and new hunters.

Florida's mild weather makes a great hunting destination for year round quail hunts. A great place to visit in the wintertime when there is nothing but snow on the ground. Rent a cabin and stay onsite for the weekend. Lodge is also available with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, great room, patio and more.

There is nothing quite like Quail Hunting n North Florida and Watermelon Pond Plantation is the BEST hunting location to visit.

Perks of Deer Hunting.

Love hunting, but haven't ventured further than turkey or quails? Maybe it's time for you to try your luck with deer hunting.

Some of the benefits of deer hunting include:

A great meal. This "gamey" animal is sure to help make a great meal. Deer meat is not only tasty, but healthy. Capturing your own meal also ensures you know what's going onto your plate. No worries of added hormones or steroids. Use deer meat in stews, burgers, etc.

Use all parts. One perk of deer hunting is that each piece can be used. Use the meat for food, the fur for cloth, and even the bones can be used.

Get out and deer hunt over at the Watermelon Pond. Make your reservations today.

All wishing to take part in deer hunting must have qualifying licenses.

Turkey Hunting in North Florida

Calling all hunters in North Florida, come to the beautiful Watermelon Pond hunting grounds. For those in Gainesville, Archer, Newberry, Ocala, Lake City, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee, it's less than 2 hours to get to Watermelon Pond.

We offer some of the best Osceola wild turkey hunting to be found. Florida turkey hunting is a challenge but also extremely rewarding. Year round food plots and supplemental feeding of quality high protein, high fat feeds such as sunflowers, chufas, and sorghum, tend to make our wild turkeys a bit more predictable. Spring food plots produce an abundance of insects to meet the protein needs of pults, which in turn grow into large, beautiful Osceola gobblers.

We offer Fall turkey hunting, and Spring turkey hunting.

Our grounds encompass over 800 acres, and are surrounded by over 5,500 acres of non hunted land. Your turkey hunt will be private, quiet, and secluded.

Turkey hunting is extrememly limited. First come, first served.
