Dave is a native of this area and will put you on the type fish you seek. He is a gentleman.

I’ve hunted turkeys in many different states and had already completed my slam before I hunted with Dave. I’ve had some bad experiences with other turkey outfitters before. I took my time, checking references and seeking the best opportunity without feeling you overpaid. To say I hit a home run with Dave would be an understatement. Several Gobblers later, I’m hesitant to allow others to know my ACE in the hole. You will not be disappointed. Dave is a great guide, host and friend. Thanks for the memories and I look forward to more in the future.

Great Day on the water with the very knowledgeable Captain Dave. Even though the water was super low, he put on some great spots. Caught a couple of nice gags right away . Moved to another spot and spent the next hour catching a variety of fish one after the other, kept a few to take home. Comfortable boat, great company, sun burnt and sore arms from reeling in fish all day. Thanks again Captain Dave, can’t wait to go again

Had a super fun day of fishing with Captain Dave. Had our freshly caught trout for lunch the next day! Plus as a bonus, learned a lot about different kinds of fish. Highly recommend Captain Dave! Will definitely go again!

Dave is an awesome hunting and fishing guide, but just as importantly, he is a really good person that is a lot fun to be around and works really hard to make sure that his clients have success and a really good time doing so.

Huston's Outdoor Adventures is an absolute go to location in Florida for taking an Osceola to complete your grand slam. My hunting experience from start to finish was nothing but stellar!! We were on birds everyday, and ended up taking a monster Osceola. My very first turkey which was super exciting!! I would highly recommend Dave and Huston's Outdoor Adventures for your Osceola hunts!!

Hunted Osceola turkey this spring with Dave. Great guy and works hard to get you on your birds. My friend and I were a last minute booking with Dave at the end of season due to a guide canceling on us . Dave got us our birds and we finished our Grand slams. Dave is very knowledgeable of turkey patterns and hunting knowledge. Cheers to a great hunt .

I flew down from Pennsylvania to hunt turkey with Dave. That morning we discovered my shotgun scope had gotten damaged during flight. Dave was kind enough to let me use his shotgun. I harvested a double bearded tom by 9am. I had a “blast” with Dave!

I travel the country turkey hunting. Dave provided one of the best Osceola hunting experiences anyone could ever expect. His outfitter territory is vast and covered with birds. Dave worked hard and accommodated us in every way possible and then some. The results, my wife shot the largest Osceola we've taken in Florida. Don't hesitate to trust your next Osceola hunt with Dave and Huston's Outdoor Adventures. Richard Dunkin STRUTT'N Brand

Booked an Osceola turkey hunt with Dave and he took great care of us. We had another outfitter completely ghost us and Dave stepped in at the last minute and saved our trip and put us on 2 beautiful big Osceola’s to complete our slams. You can tell Dave has been turkey hunting for a long time because he was an excellent turkey hunter. Would highly recommend

I first met Huston outdoor Dave five years ago for a hog hunt. I had a awesome day and he put me on some hogs and I filled my cooler and I've been going back ever since. If you are a fisherman or hunter, I highly recommend Huston outdoor adventure. You will not be disappointed.
