Send a PM or Email to Huntma. She can probably point you in the right direction.

Osceola outfitters is my first choice...but they stay busy so call em now..... http://www.osceolaoutfitters.com/ ....a lil on thehigh priced side but they are great folks...here's a way you can hear from several different outfitters...

Thank You, I'll check them out.. My mom owns a tad bit of property in Marion County, FL.. It's Oceola Country but she says turkey are hard to find, there.. But hard to find... If I go all the way to FL an outfitter might be a better choice due to the long drive and time constraints..

Just noticed some of these people are asking 2500 for a turkey.. ummm.. Is this really the "going rate".. Seriously? Or is this just a select few that consider themselves the best I guess..

The guy I went with was charging $1,500 and with the economy I would think he will be the same.

If you are still looking for an Osceola turkey hunt for the spring of 2010,i am starting my own guide service this year. I am 20min north of Daytona beach.I have access to over 3000 acres of private land.I do not offer lodging but there are plenty of motels within 15 or 20min. $1200 for a 3day hunt 1-gobbler,if you tag out early we can put you on a hog if your interested in that. You can email me at sbs2376@yahoo.com for more details. This is my 1st official yr guiding for myself but have guided others on several hunts and have alot of success on my own personal hunts.I have plenty of pics of birds from the last few yrs to prove i am pretty good at hunting...it's definitly my passion!
