Black Bottom Outfitters

Black Bottom Outfitters operates a sprawling hunting property in Bradford County, Florida with over 22,000 acres of private land directly off US 301. The landscape mixes hardwood swamp bottoms and planted pine with 20+ food plots of at least an acre each—plus over 70 miles of roads that see consistent turkey activity.

Three-day, four-night packages run from mid-March through late April. You can choose fully guided hunts where experts handle the entire operation, or semi/self-guided hunts if you prefer more independence. The property holds a strong Osceola turkey population, and guides know the terrain inside out.

Hunt options: - Fully Guided: $3,200 per hunter - Semi/Self-Guided: $2,700 per hunter - Non-hunter (lodging/meals only): $800

Add thermal and suppressed hog hunts for $400 per hunter with no limit on harvest.

You'll stay in cracker-style cabins equipped with Wi-Fi, A/C, heat, and flat-screen TVs. Two full bathrooms serve the camp. The kitchen is fully stocked, and Mrs. Rachel handles all cooking—breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Southern-style home cooking and dessert every night. They're flexible on meal timing, offering breakfast to-go or after your morning hunt if you prefer.

The property features hardwoods, planted timber, swamp bottoms, 20+ food plots, and diverse vegetation including live oak, water oak, turkey oak, gallberry, and palmetto flats. They trap year-round for opossum, armadillo, and coyote to maintain habitat quality.
