About Your Trip

This is an invasive species in Florida, these nasty lizards are causing a major impact on our Ecosystem. People always ask "Can You Eat Iguana" absolutely!!!!!!

With determination, we have OPENED Florida for the Iguana Hunts. Even better than before. We offer a "Guided Air Rifle Hunt" to dispatch and eradicate this invasive animal. Most hunts are conducted by boat with a USCG Captain and Pro-Staff. We also can/will provide taxidermy services information and ways to ship meat back home.

This hunt is becoming more and more popular every day. We have put together an amazing experience of Guided Air Rifle Iguana Hunts in South Florida ( Fort Lauderdale Metro Area). All six of our hunting sites are located with in 20 mins to 1.45 hour drive of Fort Lauderdale Metro area.

Captain Gene coordinates and secures the hunts with professional Pro-Staff and hunting guides. With our team, we can set up and coordinate a hunt like no others. We started this hunting service back in September 2014 and went live immediately - it was a huge success and game changer. Come join us for a new crazy hunt and grab some trigger time...

Gene and his team will provide all the necessary equipment for the hunt, including the air rifles, pellets, boats, guide and fuel. Gene and his team suggest wearing solid shoes for the retrievals and comfortable clothes, it does get a little hot in the summer months. A small cooler with drinks and snack is fine. No Alcohol consumption allowed on their boats. But you are more than welcome to enjoy a cold beer or cocktail once you have returned to land!

We are an elite outfit. Trophy hunts are our specialty, we are not nuisance pest removers but a true guided Air Rifle hunt by boat.

Catering to small groups and more adventurous folks, we're known for taking the less traveled paths and going a little further into the wilderness. It's what sets our tours apart from the more mainstream tourist Exotic companies. It also fits well with our philosophy of incorporating conservation and educational initiatives with invasive species programs, such as the Green Iguanas. It is a pleasure to announce that I am the first person of the US mainland, to bring and promote "Guided Air Rifle " Hunts to Florida in 2019, using only High Powered PCP Air Rifles in.22 cal and 25 cal. This style of hunting is the new craze!! Trophy Limits-No Seasons-Hunt anytime.

Trip was a total bust. Saw 3 Iguanas, one small one that stayed hidden by tree, one jumped into water before getting a shot, third one my partner shot. Weather was high 60's, cloudy. There were 4 boats working same general areas, feels like this area has maybe been hunted a little too hard. Would not recommend.

We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Iguana hunting is true wildlife hunting in an uncontrolled, natural environment. Weather conditions, cloud cover, temperature, time of day, recent hunting pressure in the area, animal behavior, all play a significant role in how active the iguanas are and how visible they may be.

Unlike a controlled range or target setting, this is real-world hunting where sightings and opportunities can vary greatly from trip to trip. Some outings produce dozens of opportunities, others can be more challenging depending on conditions that are outside of anyone’s control.

Our captains work extremely hard to put guests in the best possible position for success based on their experience, scouting, and knowledge of the waterways, but wildlife does not operate on a schedule.

We truly appreciate you coming out with us and we understand that this type of hunt may not be what everyone expects. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue to educate future guests on the nature of a true wildlife hunt.

We wish you all the best on your future adventures.

We had a great time. Our guide Jose was really cool. Bud was another guide that showed us the ropes. Steve was kind of rude. For us to pay that kind of money to go out there he talked to us pretty disrespectfully even though we were very safe and easy going. Just an FYI

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We’re glad to hear you had a great time overall and that Jose and Bud were helpful in getting you comfortable with the hunt and the area.

Regarding Captain Steve, safety is always our top priority on the water. Because we are operating with real guns in a dynamic outdoor environment, our guides are trained to be very direct and firm whenever they feel additional attention to safety is needed. This approach is never meant to be personal or disrespectful, but rather to ensure that everyone on board remains safe at all times.

We understand that a firm tone can sometimes come across differently than intended, and we’re sorry if it felt uncomfortable. Our guides work with many hunters each year and are quick to step in whenever they feel a situation calls for extra caution.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and truly value your feedback. Thank you again for coming out with us.

Best regards,
