Florida Boar Hunts – Home Page

Ever hunted something that hunts you back? Then you’ve never been boar hunting. For the ultimate experience with complete guides and tools, Boar Hunting will give you wild thrills and get your adrenaline pumping as they hunt you back, only at Florida Boar Hunts.

Florida Boar Hunts is the most elite, private game-hunting preserve on the East coast. It is the hunting ground for these big, mean, ugly (said only with love and respect), wild, feral hogs – not pigs. Boars are smart, strong, and very determined NOT to be your target.

We offer prices at the minimum below:

  • One-day hunt is $495 per hunter
  • Two-day hunt is $845 per hunter
  • Three-day hunt is $1195 per hunter

There are various ways to pursue these Boars – and you determine which technique is best:

  • Hunt by rifle from a long-distance tree stand.
  • Use a bow from 100 feet.
  • WASP injection knife kill – for those who want to be primitive and feel the thrill up close and personal.
  • Or any hunting equipment of your choice – Bow, knife, spear, rifle, black powder, or name your weapon!

For those first-time encounters, don’t fret as expert guides will tag along with you to help you locate your boars and safely pin them down. But, of course, these one-of-a-kind experiences have to be documented and preserved, so a backup is also available to take pictures of you posing with your trophy boar.

Depending on your needs and ranch conditions, we offer box blinds, dog hunts, guided hog stalking, crossbow hunts, swamp buggy chase, airboat hunts, and more. Most clients book a two or three-day experience; one day is just not enough to really enjoy all we have to offer.

A&E’s American Hoggers, Tom Walker, a nationally recognized expert bow hunter, guides for Florida Boar Hunts exclusively with many of his television programs filmed here.

After a thorough day of boar hunting, our Hideaway Lodge will help you relax and chill out while you puff some of the finest cigars or drink up some bourbon and relive stories of your day’s hunting events. The Hideaway Lodge is to be completed by 2014. In the meantime, we currently offer primitive camping on-site and luxury accommodations at the nearby Punta Gorda Waterfront Hotel and Suites.

Non-hunting guest passes are $150 per person per day. Children are welcome as hunters or guests, one child per adult. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking for all hunts, with the balance due in cash or check upon arrival. Airport pickup, weapon rental, taxidermy, and butchering services additional. Guide fees included, but a gratuity is customary for great service. All major credit cards accepted. Call us now 941-445-7617 for additional details.

Boar Hunts is located 20 minutes north of Fort Myers Airport, just south of Orlando and Tampa along South Florida’s beautiful Charlotte Harbor. The boar hunting ranch maintains a selection of wild Trophy Boars that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Additional hog hunts may also be planned to your specific interests according to environmental conditions.

Florida Boar Hunts is not only about the bragging rights but also the awesome experience of being both the hunter and the hunted; kicking up your adrenaline and taking Trophy Boar hunting to the next level.

Different Ecuador Visas for Each Applicant Type

Ecuador has been among the many countries visited for regular traveling and medical tourism. Some even decide to retire in the country. But just like in visiting any country, a traveler should know about Ecuador visas.

Non-Immigrant Visa 12-X

Non-immigrant visa refers to Ecuador visas granted to individuals staying in the country temporarily. An individual can stay for up to 90 days by getting an automatic visa. Also known as Visa 12-X, this visa type has minimal requirements, which means people can get them easily. Main requirements are a passport, return ticket, and proof of income. The passport should be valid for more than six months upon visiting the country. A return ticket for land, sea, or air travel should be presented as well.

Visa 12-X holders are not allowed to find work in the country. Hence, they should have proof of income to support their expenses in Ecuador. Some individuals, however, must visit the Consulate of Ecuador in their own countries to know more about this visa prior to traveling to Ecuador.

Non-Immigrants Staying More than 90 Days

Individuals planning to stay in the country for more than 90 days can still get Ecuador visas, but they need to pass more requirements. Aside from a passport and return ticket, applicants must submit police certificates and criminal records from their home countries, a medical certificate, an application form, two photographs, and a valid US visa or green card for US applicants.

Other Visa Types

Aside from these visa types, other types are also available for students, entrepreneurs, religious group members, volunteers, and cultural exchange people. All these visas are available on the embassy’s website. Some individuals wishing to stay for up to 180 days require a different visa to ensure they will stay in the country legally.

Due to the visa differences, their requirements also vary. Others may show different proofs or documents. For instance, retired individuals wishing to reside in the country as an immigrant should show different documents with pensions as part of the application process. Individuals who will be a member of the country’s political or technical team must show proof of their expertise.

Visa Application Fee and Validity

Application for Ecuador visas can be free of charge while others cost around $50 to $90. However, some applicants may have different prices depending on their country of origin. The good thing about specific visas is they come in different validity periods, with some reaching up to two years and renewable. This is ideal for those applying for a visa and wishing to return in the future.

Overstaying

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, some visitors find themselves overstaying in Ecuador. They need to have their passport signed or stamped before leaving the country. This is to make sure they have exited appropriately.

Applying for an Ecuador visa is easy with the right information. If you will be applying for medical tourism through Ecuador Visas, inquire first about the number of days you need to stay in the country then apply for the right passport and double-check for the needed requirements.

Enclosed Auto Transporter: Shipping an Exotic Car the Safe Way

Cars are great investments, especially in a busy world like today. Transportation is an important aspect in people’s everyday life, and comfort is a choice that anyone can make. You can take the bus, subway, or the taxi, depending on your preference. But it will always be better to have your own car within your reach anytime to avoid expenses and save a lot of time. And wherever you may be, you can have your car delivered through auto transport.

Different Types of Auto Transport

When you want to move your car from one place to another, there are a lot of issues that you can come up with, especially since different people will be handling your car. There can be issues with how careful the car shipping company is when delivering your car and a lot of complaints on your end with the fee that these companies require you to pay. If this is the case, you can always skim through the different types of car delivery and transportation which can be found in the market today.

  • Truck Delivery:
    When considering car shipping through truck delivery, there are two kinds you can choose from. The open-air truck kind of delivery is the most famous one when it comes to country-to-country deliveries. This is what most online shipping companies use which has the delivery range of seven to twenty-one days. The second type is the enclosed truck shipping. Compared to the open-air truck delivery, this is considered as the safest method of auto transport system since the car will be protected against weather and other external factors. This is the delivery type usually used for exotic cars and other high-end automobiles since it is a more careful way of delivery. The price of this type, though, is a lot higher compared to the open-air truck delivery.
  • Professional Driver Service:
    If you are considering a professional driver service, this will mean that the distance where the car will be transported is not that far. Though services like these are also reliable, it will only be a great choice for short-distance transport. The advantage, though, is that you could also include your other belongings in the transport, like your pets.
  • Cargo Container Delivery:
    This type of car shipping has one of the grandest and vastest reaches in all delivery systems. If you have to have your car delivered overseas, this kind of delivery will be very helpful for you. The usual length of the container is at 20 to 40 feet. And this is where your car will be placed while in the cargo.

With these different types of services, it cannot be denied that one has an advantage compared to the other, but if you are handling exotic cars, the enclosed truck auto transport system is the best choice. With how very expensive exotic cars are, it will be an absolute necessity to have it taken care of in the best way possible. And paying extra for that safest kind of shipping will not be a big deal if you prioritize your car more.

Dog Training in Clearwater: Being Calm and Assertive

Dogs use much energy to communicate. Energy is being in the moment. Dogs do know each other by the activities and energy they share, not by name. They interact with humans the same way. Humans also communicate with their dogs through energy, even if we do not realize it. Even if we talk, explain, rationalize, and persuade our pets, the only thing getting to them is their energy signals; hence the reason dog training in Clearwater extends to the owner as well.

Dogs automatically know what to do. The alpha dog is not shouting orders, but the submissive dogs know how to interact with each other. Dogs are harmonious, accomplish a purpose, and that purpose is what they are supposed to fulfill.

A mother’s assertive but calm energy is the first energy that puppies experience after birth. Later on in their life, the puppies will feel the pack leaders having the same assertive and calm energy, and they will follow it. Pack followers return a submissive and calm energy. Most of these followers are naturally born to be submissive because only a small percentage may be pack leaders.

When a pack follower lives with humans who are not leading them, they tend to try filling in the role of a pack leader to maintain balance. Behavioral problems develop this way unless you become the person your dog needs you to be by setting structured rules.

If you want to establish your role as the leader of the pack, you must project an assertive and calm energy. The natural balance creates and stabilizes a centered, balanced, and happy dog. For this reason, dog training in Clearwater helps you teach your dog of any breed from 10 weeks to 15 years the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior.

By projecting the same assertive and calm energy, you can easily guide your dog through a set of structured rules that include sitting quietly while you feed them before you, as Alpha, allow them to eat. You can reinforce this outside as well by allowing them to walk beside you. It may take some time since they may try to assume the dominant role by walking ahead of you, but keep your calm and do not allow any tension in the leash when they finally walk beside you.

When you feel that you are comfortable with being assertive and calm, you will be able to communicate with your dog using your body language and energy only. Do not be surprised when you project the right energy and your dog starts following you and sits beside you.

Be the most appealing thing to your dog. Engage with the natural social instincts of your dog. Lead your dog, and he will soon realize that you are the pack leader. He will eventually ask for your approval of “making prey” of other dogs, bike riders, squirrels, and neighbors’ children. Develop familiarity with what is predator energy and prey. The energy of the predator is what pushes your dog to move. It is what unleashes stress inside of them and makes them want to do something. The prey energy enables them to have an outlet for all the stress that has been bottling up inside of them.

Letting your dog know who the leader is enables you to communicate well while guiding them through a series of set structured rules. Show confidence and calmness. Give them something they can look at whenever they need some guidance. It is best to draw inspiration from confident people that you admire around you. Dog training in Clearwater is important for people and dogs alike since they train the pet and the owner to exchange the right calm dominant/passive energy.

The most famous activity is golf, which has prompted retirement communities to have their golf courses.

Feeding Your Dog while Boarding in Clearwater

There are many types of food on the market that you could feed your dog, but there are many other things to consider as well. Is it hard enough to keep your dog’s teeth clean? Is it lean enough so as not to upset their stomach? Finally, regardless of the type of food, are they eating it slowly enough or should you work with them on their anxiety level?

Like people, good dog food and eating habits have much in common. Many people have heard that giving table food to dogs is not good. The reality is, it’s not so much the fact that it’s dog food or human food, but the nutritional quality, portions, and speed at which it is eaten that really makes the difference while your dog is boarding in Clearwater.

Giving in Moderation

Many people think that giving their pets table scraps causes obesity. This is not always the case. When you share your food with your dog, you are simply giving them extra calories. If the food, dog or human, is high in sugar and fats, there is a real risk that your pet can become obese. For small dogs, the risk is higher because they just need a few extra calories to promote weight gain. In many cases, owners are actually able to share human food with their dogs so long as it’s healthy, often healthier than the grains and animal byproducts in budget dog foods, and in the appropriate amounts.

Dog foods that are rich in fat can also lead your dogs to develop pancreatitis, a condition wherein the pancreas is inflamed with symptoms ranging from mild pain and blood infection to internal bleeding. Likewise, avoid giving human foods to your dog that are high in fats, such as pâté, sausage, bacon, gravy-covered meat, poultry skin, and beef trimmings. A little piece, roughly around 1 cm by 1 cm, for a 20-pound dog might not cause a problem unless your dog has an underlying health issue.

Carbohydrates are a great source of digestible energy. Because of this, you need to think about the amount that you give to your dogs. If your dog has diabetes, they shouldn’t be given table scraps that are a source of carbohydrates; namely, rice and pasta. You can give your dog the last small piece of toast or plain spaghetti, but they should not have an oversized portion of even the healthiest dog food unless they are able to work it off as your dog would while boarding in Clearwater.

For healthy dogs, salt intake is not a problem. However, for those dogs that already have chronic kidney problems, they shouldn’t be given foods with high levels of salt. Normally, salty foods are high in fat and calories so they should be given in small portions.

The same carbohydrate and salt advice goes for dogs that eat their food too fast. If they have food anxiety issues, especially to the point where they will not allow you as Alpha to take their food away, then you may need to work with them on not eating their food too fast as this can lead to binging and purging.

If you are going to leave your pets at dog boarding in Clearwater, you are welcome to bring in your preferred dog food or some human foods they are allowed to eat.

What human food is alright for your dog?

Veggies and fresh fruits are the best thing to give your dogs. Fruits that are a source of fiber and high in water can be given to them but not in large amounts because it can result in an upset stomach. If dried fruit is given, they can end up with diarrhea due to the concentrated sugar. A small piece of watermelon on a hot summer day can be given. If you have a pet that is a picky eater, give them fruits in their bowls to increase their water intake.

Giving your dog food, dog or human, will not make them obese so long as it includes the right nutrition and is in the right portion. Rest assured they will have the proper amount of nutrition and appropriate portions while dog boarding in Clearwater.
