Magnolia Ranch Hunting Preserve

Magnolia Ranch Hunting Preserve is one of only 180 licensed hunting preserves in Florida, located in Walton County near DeFuniak Springs. The ranch sits just an hour north of South Walton's beaches, making it a unique destination for hunters who want quality game without the Texas travel.

Whitetail Deer

The ranch stocks whitetail bred from select 200-inch Boone & Crockett bloodlines. Mature bucks regularly exceed 200 pounds, with some scoring over 200 inches. You'll find everything from giant typicals to 20+ point non-typicals. Hunts available with rifle or archery.

Axis Deer (Spotted Ghost)

Originally from India, these spotted deer thrive in Northwest Florida's heat. Mature bucks carry 28+ inch antlers and weigh up to 300 pounds. Known as some of the best game meat available. Hunt from box blinds or ladder stands with rifle or archery.
