Hey partner,
I'm only 30 miles from ya and hunt in the Green Swamp WMA. I
've been hunting there 3 years and got 1 buck and 1 hog. We have a long season to me. 5 weekends of archery which the first one started last weekend. I send an application eac year to hunt 8 days early during firearm and have alwasys been drawn. The Green Swamp is about 57000acres. There are about 7 other WMA s within 50 miles of ya.
WARNING Snakes and gators are a real issue here. Moccasins and pigmy rattlers are common and so are diamond backs in some areas. Also , take your climbng stand with you. There is a big chance it will be stolden. Don't break any laws. You will be checked going out of most WMAs and they don't play in Florida. Also , with your Wildlife Management stamp you can fish for free throughout the year in the management areas. Central Florida is mostly known for their bass fishing.
God bless ,
Chuck
