Any new youth hunters or new adult hunters wanting to participate, please send an email with the hunt date of your choice, your full name, the youth hunter’s full name and DOB (if applicable), mailing address, email and both mobile and home phone numbers to huntmstr01@gmail.com
Next, click the PayPal link below and make payment to reserve your spot. Youth hunts are $100 per parent/child. Adult hunts are $75 each. If you want to tent camp or RV camp, there is no charge. If you want to use the bunkhouse, it’s an additional $25 per bed per weekend.
Once both the email and the payment are received, you will receive a confirmation email holding your place for that hunt.
There are 4 youth hunts and 5 adult hunts scheduled for this season. All hunts will take place at our Telogia Hunt Lease in Liberty County FL (about 50 miles west of Tallahassee).
Youth hunts require a $100 donation to cover food for child and parent, and adult hunts require a $75 donation. Send your donation to the attached PayPal link.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you this season!
Summer Improvements Completed!
This summer, we set out with a mission to build a new bunkhouse, install a proper double skinning rack and cleaning station, expand our food plots and replace our existing stands with new shooting houses. After many long weekends of hard work, generous donations of money from supporters like the Tallahassee chapter of QDM and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundatrion, as well as private donations from Dale Gose, Ryan DeCosomo, Eric Wade, Ben Mitchell, Kelley Kennedy and Raj Bahra, we were able to pay for all the improvevments to our Telogia Hunt tract.
Volunteers Dale Gose, Ryan DeCosomo, Ben Mitchell, Andre Kirwan, Brian Graff, Luis Ayala, Larry Rudisill, Charlie Echenqiueu, Jeremy Kieffer and Mike Alguire put in the sweat equity to help bring our vision together. We finished all the project just one week before the first hunt of the season. Thank you to all who pitched in and supported this massive undertaking. We hope our participating youth and new adult hunters will benefit from these improvements long into the future.
