I hunt Beech Fork in Wayne, a small piece of private land (22 acres) in Mason. and another small piece (50 acres) in Cabell. Not too bad hunting. I have never seen anything with big antlers but a fair amount of doe around.
Reb,
Nice looking gun there. I just got my 243 and it is great to shoot. I could shoot it all day long. Man I had no idea there was even hunting around my house when I lived in Valrico. I lived right across the street from Bloomingdale High. Never even knew anyone that hunted except for a guy that hunted gator






When I huntedValrico, it was nothing but woods! There were a couple ofshopping centers in west Brandon and nothing untill you got to Turkey Creek Road on HWY 60 in Plant City. The 465lb boar that I killed in Picnic,Fl is not to far from Valrico. Allthat was owned by Cargill Phosphate Mines.
I have a buddy in Palm River that hasabout 12-15 deer mounts all taken with the .243.. We use to hunt behind his home on 500 acres owned by Tower Dairy.
Back then we use to go to Spicola Hardware south ofHwy 60 on 19th street,
(before they built the Cross Town that tookCampamor Dairy that we hunted also
), and buy Rem 1100's for $146!
