Guys,

I have enjoyed reading all of the intelligent responses on the thread. I understand some of you have a negative opinion about the state of Florida and that is certainly your perogative.

But I was just touching on whitetails b/c that is my passion and my reason for living. I could write you an essay on the ill tempered spring gobbler that roams the family farm, but that is another topic for another board on another day.

FloridawhitetailsSELECT specific forageneeds inour woodsdown hereand you do not have it in other areas across the country. THAT is the key, guys,the ability to basically go ANYWHERE across America and find deer that want to come to FL.Rebel Hog's posted buck picturesbeing one example.

Goes back to God-given ability in my case.Never use it for personal gain.Most others just do not have it. Let's be real honest, guys:

- The state of FLhas a better program, currently one of three "National" whitetail programs in America

- You will not findfiner men than Southern hunters. Character.Scholarly.

-Florida is a better example of academia, studying the elusive whitetail and thirsting for knowledge

- The turmoilin Yankee territorywithtumors, and diseasewill only continue. EG: CWD

I called it.That is just being as honest as possible. Ihope y'all have a terrific weekend this weekend and I cannot wait to report back here the early part of next week to read what all of you did to enjoy the outdoors with close friends/family. I am going to do some work at the family farm on the tractor and likely catch a Florida bass or two (respect). take care, guys.
