RE: Newbie With Questions?
i scout several W.M.A.'s year around. when you spend enough time in each W.M.A., you will eventually run in to and meet the hunters that also hunt that area. we also use "flagging" tape to mark an area we will be using. i usually put the dates i will be hunting on the tape with a black sharpie marker to let other hunters know when i will be in the area. this is a common courteousy task that alot of us practice. as you start to scout the different W.M.A.'s around, you'll will find your favorites. your favorites will be determined by the type of terrain the W.M.A. is. here in Central Florida we have everything from palmetto flats, to hardwoods, to swamps, to pastures, etc. once you get started hunting, you will take a liking to hunting certain places. i for one love hunting swamps for one major reason...most hunters hate walking/wading through water, fighting skeeters, etc. so this keeps them away, you'll notice the swamps are the less crowded area's. i might be heading to Jumper Creek one day this week (wed., thur. or fri.). i haven't decided yet which day. if you are off any of these 3 days and are willing to join me, let me know. i have personally never hunted this particular W.M.A. but i hear it has good deer and TONS of hogs.
