Southside Hunting Club
We only allow 21 members to be part of the most elite Florida hunting club in the state. Annual memberships include hunting on all 7000 acres year round. Members are allowed to shoot 3 mature Whitetail Bucks, 3 Whitetail does and 3 Trophy Osceola Turkeys as well as various other wildlife on the property that falls within FWC guidelines. We have many tree stands and feeders that are maintained year round for members use. Hunting the property is on a first come first serve basis, where the member comes and pens up their location he or she will be hunting for that morning or afternoon. When the member gets back in from hunting he or she is required to take down their pen until they go hunting the next morning or afternoon. Our membership for our south side is $10,000 so call today to see if we have a spot open for you.
