RE: diy for oceolas
There are several places here in central florida, where you do not have to draw a permit and have a great chance of killing a "true" osceola. If I was from out of state, I would pick Green Swamp WMA first. You can look at all the information of these places on Floridas website. Green Swamp WMA has daily permits available on a first come, first serve basis. You can camp there, the weather will be great (cool), there are a lot of birds, it's a big WMA,and not too many hunters during the week. Your best chance to kill one would be right after fly down or coming back to that general area about 10:30-11. The birds seem to be broke off the hens by then and will respond to calling a lot better than in the am. By responding, i mean come to you. Plus a lot of hunters tend to stop hunting about 9:30-10.
Some other areas that are good would be Kissimmee River (need a john boat), and Arbuckle (get there early for permits)
Hope this helps....
