Best of the Best! - 2023

Awesome service and hospitality! This is the only place to go get your Osceola turkey. The guides are top notch and will go to any lengths to get you an opportunity. Tons of ranches to hunt, lots of birds, great set ups and well thought out before you leave the camp. They are the best around when it comes to Osceola hunts. They offer incredible gator and hog hunting as well. They are the best of the best in Florida. I will be back for sure! These guys know how to get it done. Thanks for the memories and I look forward to hunting again with you all in the near future!

What a trip - Osceola Hunt 2023

What a trip!! Went with my three kids to complete the slam (D20, S14, and S12). Two of us tagged within hours of arriving at camp and the other two doubled up the next morning. Charles and his crew are amazing. So very friendly and professional. Their goal is to get you on birds and make sure you are having fun the whole time. The guides were so good in working with my younger boys. True professionals. Shout out to Dillon, Mike, Jake, and Wesley. You guys are great.

I am hesitant when booking with a new outfitter. I want to go to good, professional, and personable outfitters that have nice facilities. If you are the same as me, then rest assured, GCO is the place to go. Top notch. Only reason they get 5 stars is because 6 stars wasn't an option. Kids basically booked our trip for next year before we left camp. Sorry Julie (wife) we have to go back now...it's for the kids. Oh any BTW, they booked a gator hunt for next time too.

Good times - June 2023

If a gator hunt is on your bucket list, this is the place. These guys are amazing! From the start, the communication was excellent. We told them we wanted a private hunt and they delivered. RT and Wade met us in the morning and we launched at sun up. The guys were awesome. They let us help spot the gators and we stalked the one we wanted. With a little patience, we hooked up, and we all had the opportunity to work him into the boat. These guys are easy going, fun, and knowledgeable. We could tell these guys were two buddies who loved what they do. Their equipment was custom made and well maintained. They cared enough to make sure our day was perfect. We picked the right outfitter!

Mike Greene

Another great hunt-2023

Charles, RT and the entire staff are great at what they do. The hunts are exciting, the lodge is beautiful and the food is delicious. I am a repeat customer and use their services for corporate team building and client development opportunities. I highly recommend God’s Country Outfitters and will be returning soon.

Spring 2023 - San Mateo Florida

I booked a thermal hog hunt with God's country outfitters, and had a great experience, put me on a group of hogs in 30 minutes and was able to harvest my first hog with them, amazing guides and wonderful staff as well!

Corey Parker

May 2021 - Wetumpka Alabama

Hands down the best outfitter out there! The lodging was top notch, the hospitality was amazing, the food was phenomenal, and the hunting was definitely nothing short of unforgettable! We all got hogs, shot our fair share of fish bowfishing, and the time around camp was just as much fun as the hunting was! We cant wait to get our next trip on the books!!!

Todd Towne

Spring hog hunt - Glencoe MInnesnowta

What a great hunt!! We did the late night thermal hog hunt. The guides were phenomenal. Jake and RT were great to be around, telling us all kinds of hunting stories and putting us on the hogs. All three us us were able to get our hogs. My sister was also able to get a spotted one she was hoping for. I was able to shoot a nice bore. I highly recommend this hunt. Great job God’s Country Outfitters!!

Winter 2021 - Boston MA

Went in a hog hunt on January 11 th afternoon with my friend Paul. JT the guide was very welcoming,down to Earth guy. We did a ground blind hunt and I have a disability that makes walking difficult. JT drove us to the blind in a UTV and made sure I was comfortable. After a 4 hour wait in the blind a group of six hogs came out of the brush at dusk. Picked out the biggest pig and dropped it in its tracks. Nice castrated boar weighing 150 made me a very happy first time hog hunter. This outfitter is first class all the way. Will be back no doubt.

Craig

Winter, 2020 - Chicago, IL

I picked God’s Country Outfitters to do my first Hog hunt and they did not disappoint. They are truly a quality organization through and through. I did a night hunt with RT as my guide and it was perfect. I am pretty much a newbie to hunting and he was a perfect coach. Got a good size sow but missed bone, so we had the added experience of tracking it through the brush. Awesome. The day after I grilled up some great tasting inner loin for my family and they loved it.

Brent Jacobs

Fall 2020 - Pittsburgh PA

Charles, RT and their crew are great people. I couldn’t have been happier with my time spent here at GCO. Special thanks to Austin, Allan and Ray who helped me bag the gator of a lifetime and made the entire experience unforgettable. The only mistake you could make with these guys is not bookin yourself a hunt with them.

April 7 late-- April 11 afternoon - Sparks, Md. 21152

My 17 year old and myself for a turkey each, 2x2 guides. With remainder of time she would like to take 10 ft or better gator while I go after a big hog. She's young and agile, but I'm older and slow can't climb or walk long distance. Please return, Thanks, Chuck

fall/2019 - Wisconsin

Ok, have a bucket list of things to do? Then add Gator hunting with Gods Country Outfitters!! This was an absolute ball, cruising around the marshes and streams at night looking for that big gator is absolutely incredible! These guys are safe and like they say, they enjoy doing it as much as you do! The lodge was beautiful, the cooking was 1st class and everyone is excited to have you there!! This is a must do! Thank you guys & gals, I will be back!

Matthew Theisen

Fall 2019 - Lake George, FL

We had an absolutely amazing alligator hunting experience with the crew at God’s Country Outfitters! We started with a delicious home cooked dinner with the Harrington family & friends. Our nieces stayed at the lodge (which is a hunter’s paradise) with the Harrington’s while my wife, brother and I went out for a gator hunt on Lake George. My wife harvested her first gator within 30 minutes of being on the water. Within four hours, we had her tags filled with a 9’ and an 11’6’ dinosaur! I’m not sure who was more excited when we locked into the 11 footer, our captain/guide R.T. or us! We have hunted gators for years but, nothing compared to this experience. The custom gator boat is awesome, the guides are awesome, the lodge is awesome & the hunt was awesome! We left the next morning after a delicious breakfast with an amazing story and lifelong friendships. Thank you God’s Country Outfitters! You are truly top notch!

Ron Hamblin

Summer 2019 - Freeport, NY

I do not know where to begin. These 3 days were the Best of the Best. God's Country became my home away from home and I will never forget it. Starting with Charles and his brother RT "They run the show" and what a show it was. Let's not forget my guide JOSH. He was very patient and very capable, we stalked and I shot. Only needed one. I recommend God's Country Outfitters to anyone who wants an experience that will be remembered for ever. But lets not forget who the real bosses are, Charlie's wife Sally and RT's wife Natalie, they did the cooking, they were something special. Don't go down there on a diet it will not work. Thanks God's Country for a true adventure and friends who welcomed strangers into their Home.

Brian Baswell

Spring 2019 - Ohatchee Alabama

Charles and his staff at God's Country are awesome. We felt at home the minute we got there and the food,lodging, and the hunting are the absolute best.The guides work their tales off to make sure you are on birds and that you have a successful hunt. My guide, Jake, worked hard sitting through rain and wind to get me on my bird and after a long hard chase we closed the deal as I took a 10 yard shot with hens pretty much in our laps. The thing I noticed was that Jake was just as excited as I was after I squeezed the trigger and celebrated the kill with me and that made the hunt mean a lot more. Its not just about the hunt at God's Country it's a lot more. You meet and hunt with good honest country folks and you leave with new friends. For awesome people, hunting, food, lodging,friendship and atmosphere book your hunt with God's Country you can't go wrong.

From the time we arrived until the time we left GCO treated us like friends not clients. The food,lodge,and cabin was beyond what I expected. Charles and RT you guys are amazing. RT my guide thank you for an amazing hunt that I will never forget. See you guys in 2020.

Roger Buss

Spring 2019 - Elizabeth City, NC

You can not do better than God's Country Outfitters. The outfitters and guides put forth the effort to give me a hunting experience far beyond my expectations. I doubled up on a pair of beautiful gobblers the second morning of my hunt. The home cooked meals were excellent and served family style. The entire staff are fine, nice people. I arrived as a client and left as a friend. GCO has my highest recommendation.

Bo Gross

Spring 2018 - San Mateo, FL

Charles and his guides have got it going on!! I have been hunting with them for two seasons now and have had a blast. Tons of birds and Mrs. Pigs cooking is the best. I even brought my best friend from Texas that couldn’t kill a turkey in a cage and he was able to score!! These guys are definitely the best. See y’all next year, can’t wait!!!

Jason Patterson

Phenomenal Osceola hunting. Incredible success rates because of being well managed. Very knowledgeable guides who work hard. Everyone was polite and professional yet very personable making the entire experience a lot of fun. If you want an Osceola, this is where you need to go.

Jay Lindemuth

Spring 2018 - Russell,Pa

GCO puts you on turkeys, and quick!! The entire staff become instant friends. The lodge, and cabin, and food exceeded all expectations. They do everything they can do to put you in the best position to kill your turkey. My Dad, and brother killed on the first evening hunt, and I killed first thing the next morning. The guides are top notch and know the area, and birds very well. You get way more than a successful hunt, you get new friends. These boys do it right. Special thanks to Charles and RT, and Mike( my guide)! I would highly recommend GCO to make your Osceola dreams a reality!!

Lee Lindemuth

Spring 2018 - Tidioute, Pa

This was our first outfitter experience,and what an experience it was! We were on turkeys shortly after arriving at camp. Charles,RT,Jake,Dave,Mike and the entire staff are incredible! They were like old friends minutes after meeting them. GCO knows thier property and know osceolas, this is the place to go! My dad,brother and I were able to fill our osceola tags and dad got a hog too! This was a family hunting experience we will never forget and cant wait to make a return trip! The food was awesome, the lodge was beautiful and very comfortable!! Cannot say enough! Thank you!

Book your hunt today with God's Country Outfitters if you want to experience a true Florida Osceola Swamp hunt. Owners RT and Charles, Guides Morgan and Mike, along with all there staff will provide you with a true hunt of a lifetime. The properties they have available to hunt are loaded with big mature Osceola's! We heard on average 5 gobbler's on the 2 properties we hunted and my daughter shot her bird out of a group of 3 mature longbeards. RT and Charles are all about getting the youth into the outdoors so book a Father Son or daughter hunt. If its Osceola's, Hogs or Gators book with these guys they do it right. Don't risk a bad hunt by booking with anyone else!! If you want the best Florida has to offer then you better book with God's Country Outfitters. The name says it all!

I can't say how much I enjoyed this hunt. It was absolutely FANTASTIC. RT you were amazing and so was everyone else that made this such a memorable experience. The trip will be the topic for many conversations to come over the years. I will absolutely be back. Again, Thank you all for such a great time and what a big bird!!!

Tony Cannon - Lot of Faith Outdoor Structures

Summer 2016 - Dickson, TN

Many advertise come as clients, leave as a friend. I wasn't looking for more friends, I was looking for a monster gator and a good environment to take my son hunting in.... ended up getting all three!!!! Absolute trophy of a lifetime. Excellent experience for my son (and a great trophy for him too) and yep, good friends that I can wait to spend time with again. Good folks who truly are exactly as they say they are. I've been on lots of hunts, some canned and some good, this one was beyond great! I highly recommend God's Country Outfitters and plan to return again & again. Your welcome to call me and ask for yourself at 615.969.7998.

God's country outfitters was awesome I would recommend them if you want to go hunting. This was my first time hog hunting and I really enjoyed the time I had there it was a great experience.

Tyler Fite

Spring 2015 - Hillsboro, OH

I can't begin to describe how awesome of a time I had with GCO. They really go out of their way to make sure you enjoy yourself and that you have every chance to be successful. I would recommend no other place if your looking for a hunt in Florida. My guide worked hard for me to make sure I was able to harvest my first hog ever and that I had one heck of a good time doing it. I highly recommend the thermal hunts. That was a rush like I've never had before. I will be back for sure.

Steve Brewer

March 18th 2015 - Whitesburg, Kentucky

I just returned from Florida, hunting with Gods Country Outfitters. Although I have hunted with them for several years, we are still making memories together. I got a nice big boar, and the hunt will never be forgotten. The men at God's Country Outfitters will treat you like a brother, or sister, you can bet on that!! Thanks again my friends, and i hope to see ya'll again soon!!!

I went on my first gator hunt with Charles from GCO. Swamp people ain't got nothing on these guys . Killed a 10 footer after hunting all night. Seen plenty of smaller gators but Charles wanted me to get a trophy which we did..Most exciting hunt I've ever had!!

Lon Trice Lonzo's Custom Calls

Summer 2014 - Bronwood, Ga

I have hunted hogs, turkeys and now alligators with Charles and RT and I can say the whole operation is First Class!!! No matter what you decide to hunt at God's Country they put 110 % into the hunt. Great turkey hunting and hog hunting with them; now I can add gator hunting. For money well spent and a memory for your lifetime give them a call!!

Chad Hutcheson

2014 - McRae Ga

I have known RT and Charles for a few years and have been on several adventures with them, they run a top notch outfitters service and are two of the best guys you will ever meet, lodging is great, food is great, and most of all hunting whether hog, turkey, or gator is some of the best one could hope for 5 stars all the way.

Kosta Yurchenko

summer 2014 - Mullica Hill, NJ

My dad and I have been loyal customers for four years now, and after two trophy hogs, about eight meat hogs, we just added a gator to our list. Charlie and RT are great at what they do, they are very professional and very polite. The trips are very fairly priced and are worth every penny. You can't put a price on "the experience of a lifetime". We will definitely be returning for more hunts and I highly recommend God's Country Outfitters to anyone who would like an amazing and memorable hunting experience. I can't say enough good things about this place. Thanks again guys, see you soon!

4 Hrs of waiting in the summer heat - best time I ever had, 30 seconds of excitement to get my hog. :-). 1 Shot. Best time I had all summer. RT and Charles are great.

Chris Harvill

Summer 2014 - Tennessee

Charles, RT, and Nick guided our group on our first wild hog hunt and it was the most fun I have had in the woods in years. This group of guys by far exceeded expectations of everyone in the group and went the extra mile to make sure everyone got their chance at a pig. If you want to hunt hogs with guides that go hard non stop, you have to check out God's Country Outfitters you won't be disappointed.

Gentlemen in every sense of the word! They work really hard to make your hunt seem easy. We all know there are no guarantees in hunting, but this is as close as you can get!

Tristan, Travis, and Terry Cheaney

Spring 2014 - New Site, AL

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the Osceola Turkey hunts. It was a great experience to have 3 generations and a family friend hunting together. My dad finished up his Grand Slam, a friend and myself got the thrid leg of the Grand Slam, and my son(10) got his first turkey. The guides do a wonderful job with all the hunters, no matter the age. The hard work and effort from these guys is more than you could ask for in a hunt. They give 110% all the way to the end of the hunt to help you be successful. I want to thank Charles, Morgan, David, Neal, and all the ones at Gods Country for this great experience. We look forward to hunting with you again in the future. ***My son is still talking about the cook and her great food!!!

Winter (Dec.) 2013 - Jacksonville, FL

First and foremost, these are good people and a pleasure to do business with. They know their properties, have nice covered stands (if that's your thing), and do a good job of getting you in front of some hogs. Once you get your hog, they will skin, quarter, and have your meat into your cooler in no time. I had two hunts from stands and enjoyed seeing turkey, deer, and several hogs. I had a great time and would recommend God's Country Outfitters to any hunter.

Rowdy & Leanna Smith

Winter 2013 - Crestview, FL

Nothing is better than watching well trained hunting dogs work, what an amazing job GCO (Charles, RT and Austin) did to make our Hog Hunting trip an adventure we will talk about for a long time. I can't believe we actually stabbed the hogs it was a very clean kill much to my surprise. Plus the lands we hunted were well maintained and our guides were safe and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for families that like to hunt and enjoy the outdoors.

Ron Grady Jr.

winter 2013 - Nashport,Ohio

Had a great time hunting hogs with R.T. and Austine . The dogs were magnificent and very well trained. Dropped 2 hogs at 50 yds. with a 45/70 govt. I will be back again for another hunt in the near future. Thank the team at Gods Country Outfitters again for a good time.

Jeff Rabideaux

Best Hunt Ever! Come fill up your bucket list with R.T and Charles. Can't wait to get back!

Jeff Eilf

Summer/2013 - Bay City, Michigan

I did a June boar hunt with Charles and RT. You won't find a more committed and down to earth couple of guys. Started my hunt with an exciting spot-n-stalk that didn't quite pan out. Before we got back to the truck the dogs were on another hog which I was successful in taking with my bow. They go all out for you to make your hunt successfull. Thanks guys.

Dwight Jones

Spring 2013 - Georgia

Team Closaway was privileged to meet up with the boys at GCO. These folks are serious about putting clients on birds and even more serious about hospitality. They have plenty of acreage to work, which is key to any serious operation and is probably why their success rate is so high. We hope to go back soon and to meet new friends. Tell em Team Closaway/Jebb's Chokes Pro Staff sent you.

Neil

Spring 2013 - Orlando

I had such a good time on the first trip, I came back with my son and a couple of friends. Charles, RT, Austin and the rest of the crew were great. Somehow their dogs managed to get a hog to stand still in a perfect spot so my son could shoot him, it was his first hog. We stuck three others. Needless to say, it was another great hunt. It was fast paced with plenty of laughs. We will be back soon.

Denny

Spring 2013 - Snellville, GA

Charles, RT, Morgan and Neil treated me like an old friend from the very start. They made my stay enjoyable in every aspect. I cannot say enough about the expertise of RT and Morgan when it comes to showing you where the birds are (and we saw plenty) and their calling skills! These guys are a great family oriented group of hard working and fun loving sportsmen who really care about your success. I shot my first Osceola and am on my way to my first ever Grand Slam in just a short career of turkey hunting. Thanks everyone! Denny

Spring 2013 - Savannah, GA

My father and I just finished a combo Osceola Turkey and Wild Hog and we couldn't be more pleased our experience. You can not find a better, more accommodating group than Charles, R.T., and Morgan. We could tell right from the start that we had made the right choice with Gods Country Outfitters. Thanks again guys for an awesome hunt and the opportunity to spend time with my father. We can't wait to come back again. Joe Monroe Savannah, GA

Lloyd Myers jr

2013 - Ellwood city,pa

This is the best turkey hunting outfitter I have hunted with. They did everything right. The food was great. There were lots of Turkies and the guides knew what they were doing. That is not always the case with some turkey outfits. The atmosphere in camp was great. We had fun laughing and joking about everything. If you need an Osceola for the slam this is where you need to go. They take it serious and run a first rate camp.

Dawn Cunningham

Spring 2013 - St. Louis. MO

Wow. I had a great time with God's Country Outfitters. Shot my first Osceloa Turkey on opening morning. Too, top off the hunt I stabbed my first hog. (Now that was something). My family can't believe I did that. I would recommend God's Country Outfitters for anyone who wants to go on an awesome hunt, and can't forget the the really good food. What an experience. Thanks for everything, and the memories that will last a lifetime. You have a nice wonderful family. Thanks again and hope to be back sometime.

Neil

Winter 2012 - Chuluota, FL

The guys at God's Country Outfitters took me on a hog hunt with their dogs that will be hard to top. These guys know what they are doing and they are very entertaining. The dogs were all business on the hunt too. I stuck a trophy hog after a very exciting chase. I cannot wait to go back. Thanks again for a great hunt!

Fritz Benson

Winter 2011 - East Lansing, Mich.
