Quail hunting in Florida has gained growing interest over quail hunting in Georgia, to be more specific, quail hunting in South Georgia. Our quail plantation in Florida provides equal opportunities as those quail plantations in Georgia by offering similar terrain and cover for wing shooting as found at other quail plantations. The physical location of our quail plantation takes the issue of country road travel out of the equation. For quail hunting in Florida you could not ask for more of a friendlier location. Bienville Plantation is conveniently located 30 miles south of the Georgia/Florida line just 12 miles off I-75.
At Bienville we can offer quail hunting in Florida from Oct. - March. However, the optimum time for wing shooting is late October - the first week in March. Quail hunting is conducted from the comfort of our customized bird buggies, morning quail hunts generally begin following breakfast around the 9am hour and will end just before lunch. If you are with us for an afternoon quail hunt or going back out for a full day hunt, our professional guides will pick you up from the Main Lodge at approximately 1:45pm.
Our quail plantation hunts provide an excellent activity for individuals, small groups and corporate entertaining. We have seen an increase in companies choosing quail hunting as an activity for corporate retreats, corporate team rewards and corporate sponsored events.

Your harvested birds will be divided amoung your party, cleaned and packed for your departure. The most often asked question has been "What gauge shotgun should I bring and what shells do you recommend?" That is always a difficult answer because we rent Weatherby but we have seen guests bring Remington Automatics, Parker Side by Sides and Ruger Over-Unders to name a few. As far as the ammunition we provide Fiocchi shells on all buggies, You and your guests will only be charged for those boxes used during your hunt.
