Tampa Backcountry Spot-and-Stalk: August Heat & Storm Dodging

Action-packed day from the get-go! San and I headed out this August afternoon around 2:00 pm with partly cloudy skies and storms brewing on the horizon. The weather kept things interesting as we worked the Tampa backcountry looking for opportunities. We had our game plan set with thennarasumtbs.

Once the stage was set, we focused on spot-and-stalk techniques mixed with some still hunting when the conditions called for it. The afternoon heat was a scorcher, but we stayed patient and worked the terrain methodically. Tampa's diverse landscape gives us plenty of options for different hunting styles.

We switched between stand hunting and moving quietly through the area as the weather shifted. Even though we got skunked on this hunt, every hour in the field was worth it. The storms held off just long enough for us to cover good ground, and y'all know that's half the battle in gator country.

If you're thinking about booking a big game hunting trip in the Tampa area, our crew at thennarasumtbs knows these grounds inside and out. The chase is what it's all about, and we use proven techniques like spot-and-stalk and still hunting to give you the best shot at success. Tampa offers some of the most diverse hunting terrain you'll find, from thick cover perfect for still hunting to open areas where spot-and-stalk really shines. We tailor each hunt to the conditions and what the day brings us.
