RE: Florida Has Become an Innovation State
OH...it's got animals ok. Fish in any decent sized lake and you will find gators and snakes. I hunt in the Green Swamp and it is a little nerve wracking and common to be surrounded by bellowing bull gators while your in your turkey blind. Then...ya have to keep your eye open for the small slithering Pigmy rattlers. I video taped one striking at my boot. If it wasn't for my faith in God I would not even hunt in there. I generally go in the swamp about 1 1/2 to 2 miles. The scariest wildlife is the other hunters. so I try to get well away from them. Hogs are big here as well and can turn on ya. I've had them snort at me before while i was in my stand. { Not a normal snort, an I'm going to rip you apart snort}They have an awesome sense of smell. You learn to tack your trail up real good. You certainly don't want to get lost. Mosquitoes are there almost during the entire hunting season. They love to keep ya company as well. It's my only place I have to hunt at in Florida so I make the best of it. I've only hunted there 4 years. So far I've only bagged one spike buck , one average hog and 16 squirrrels.
