Full description and what we offer
Pete Hans started hunting at age 4 in Alabama, killed his first gator at 9, and won awards for Osceola turkey hunting before founding Deep South Hunting Camps in 1999. He brings genuine expertise in animal behavior prediction, hunting location selection, and weather pattern reading. Gun safety isn't an afterthought—Pete runs pre-hunt meetings and detailed protocols for every outing.
The Alabama property spans Choctaw, Washington, and Marengo counties in the historically productive Black Belt region. The soil here is nutrient-dense and supports premium foraging year-round. You're getting a diverse landscape of open fields, dense woodlands, and high game concentration.
Available hunts: - Whitetail deer - Wild hogs - Wild turkeys
Florida's "front porch" offers hardwood forests, open fields, wetlands, and riverbanks. The mild climate means year-round wildlife habitats. Thousands of acres with food plots and mineral stations throughout.
Available hunts: - Whitetail deer - Wild hogs - Alligators - Pheasants - Quail - Doves - Year-round guaranteed hog and gator hunts - Gun hunting allowed during archery season
"After a long day of hunting Pete trades his rifle in for an apron and becomes a 5 star chef, specializing in quality ingredients and making things from scratch."
Pete personally cooks using Southern and Cajun techniques. Signature dishes: - Blackened fish with crawfish gravy - Bacon-wrapped venison - Jambalaya - Gator sausage with peppers and onions
Guests joke about gaining 10-12 pounds during their stay. The food experience is serious enough that reviews consistently mention it as a highlight.
