Have any of the forum members utilized the services of Swamp Gobbler Outfitters in Florida? Their website states that they've experieced a 95% success rate over the last 7 years.
I have heard of them but if I was looking for an outfitter I would 100% go here. I am not affiliated with them just know the area since my lease is nearby and have heard great things about them. Their about as far south in Florida (Clewiston) an outfitter I know of. There may be one or two in Immokalee area though. Not to mention also look up Old Gobbler and the DC Cattle Ranch. I think he books hunts. Not sure though.

My dad and I hunted with swamp gobbler outfitters last spring. Their place is awesome! Tons of birds, lots of land, and a really neat set up at the cabins. We both killed on our first day there. I probably heard 9 or 10 birds gobbling that morning. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll try to answer them.
This will be my third year hunting with Swamp Gobbler Outfitters. As was said in an earlier post they have a lot of turkeys on their place. The Ranch is absolutely an awesome place to spend a morning turkey hunting. I personally have not heard alot of gobbling on my hunts, but I guarantee you will see a lot of turkeys. It seems like every opening has some turkeys in it. My first year I killed my bird the first afternoon. Last year I did not kill a bird but it was not because of a lack of birds or lack of trying. I was close everyday last year, and saw several gobblers, it just didn't happen. Charley offered for me to come back the last weekend of the season but because of my work schedule I was unable to make it back down. Charley and Ben are both top notch and will hunt from daylight to dark to put you on a bird if that is what it takes. You can also hunt hogs if you kill your bird early, they have a bunch of them. The cabins are comfortable and the food has been great. If your looking to kill an Osceola I can't imagine there being any better place to do it than Swamp Gobbler Outfitters.
I went there last year and we hunted hunted our tails off the first two days. We finally made it happen the last morning. This is a top notch operation and I highly recommend them. :you_rock:
