Ratso is a great Osceola Outfitter. Close to Daytona and Orlando in Osceola County.I guided with him for years. He has some great hunting land. We filmed 10 hunts a year on his place for TV shows I worked with.

here are some reviews as well as the ones on his facebook page:

This one is from right here on aldeer from a guy who went with him a year or 2 ago , and I include video of several Osceola hunts on that thread as well, so you can SEE what it is really like.

Public land Osceola hunting would be the biggest disappointment in your hunting career unless you were picked for one of the Special opportunity Hunts. They are Over run with rude people with zero ethics and not many birds, and ones that are there dont gobble.

Like North40 said , anyone suggesting hunting Public land in Florida has obviously never been there hunting turkeys before, that is for sure. That advise is coming from people who have NO IDEA about what it is like.

Now dont get me wrong..the Special Opportunity hunts are excellent and I have killed gobblers there on public land but you have to apply in the November prior to the year you hunt. If you were inclined to hunt public land a Special Opportunity or Quota hunt is the ONLY way to go.

Heres the florida Spec Opp hunt page:

Foldemup (Casey) went to a couple spec opp hunts I recommended and shot a gobbler on both on them. If you choose to go that route let me know and Ill recommend a couple but now only 10% of permits go to out of state hunters.

It is the hardest leg of the Grand Slam for sure and the most expensive as well. There are also a bunch of shyster outfitters there. Do not buy a "Cheap Hunt" off Ebay. Youll get ripped off and have very little chance of success.
