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. 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 in Puerto Rico and it went live immediately - it was a huge success and game changer. Come join us for a new crazy hunt "NOW" in Florida and grab some trigger time...

We are an elite guide service. 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.

Captain Steve was awesome! He was patient with my 10 year old son and was very knowledgeable about what we were hunting and the area. I would highly recommend, plus we shot a lot of Iguana's.

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
