RPD, what part of Florida are you hunting?

We hunt all over in central Florida.

IBHUN10 03-12-2011 03:14 PM

Thanks, I'm gonna give it a shot! It's supposed to thunderstorm tonight, and a toad strangler just started. Gonna be wet!! I"ve got a few high places to hunt in this river bottom so hopefully they'll be pushed up there. Might have to start season in chest waders, but whatever it takes to get one.... right? LOL!

SouthernStrut56 03-14-2011 03:15 PM

You're dang right about this storm coming through, it's turning into a turd floater here. Sounds like you got a good plan for tomorrow though, hope you score one man. Sure wish I was gettin my stuff together right now for opening day. This will be the first opening day I've missed in about 5 years, it's eatin' me up! Good luck and don't stop til you pull the trigger!

I'll be out all day Friday through Sunday. Gonna camp out, do a little night fishing, throw a few back, and eat beanie weenies by a campfire. And I might not ever leave! Hey did you try those calls? Were they worth a lick?

I should be getting our stickers soon. I will send them out when I get them. I'll be asking for addresses soon :)

SouthernStrut56 03-15-2011 03:17 PM

EFH! UPDATE PLEASE! Any action today or was it too windy?

IBHUN10 03-15-2011 03:31 PM

Well EFH how was the hunting today?

Western MA Hunter 03-15-2011 03:36 PM

C'mon EFH!!!!

SouthernStrut56 03-15-2011 03:52 PM

Maybe he's out roostin' a few oven busters!

IBHUN10 03-15-2011 03:53 PM

Hopefully he is getting all the pics loaded up on this site so we can see the first "monster tom" for our team!!!!:barmy:

EFH 03-15-2011 04:53 PM

Man I don't know how to say this, but you'r gonna have to cut my shirtail! I freakin waded 3/4 of a mile from knee to waist deep water to get to a dry spot, and before I got sat down I had 9 hen's and 2 longbeards fly over me an lite about 80 yds out. I managed to get on a knee and the group feed a little closer.
Anyways I got a shot, didn't hit good, he angled twards me and my shotgun never through the next shell up!!!!!! :bash:
Theres more birds there, dont't worry, the water will go down and I will tote a bird!!!!!!!!!

Need you to pull for me so I can shake this off! LOL!

IBHUN10 03-15-2011 05:02 PM

You can do it EFH. That sucks though, always tomorrow!!! Be sure to get your gun dried off and make sure its operating correctly tonight. "TAKE THAT GOBBLER OUT" now tomorrow should be your mission. :fighting0007:

SouthernStrut56 03-15-2011 05:20 PM

EEEEEE! that sucks brother, but hey it happens to all of us. Get after him tomorrow man, but don't educate too much.....unless you give him permanent detention after school! I got a feeling you'll kill him at 7:25 tomorrow morning. I'll be checking the page at work to see a butterball in the bed of your truck!

EFH 03-15-2011 05:27 PM

I've got the rest of the week and the weekend, so I'm not going to push them to hard. I'll try to get there earlier and get deeks out. If the water's down any I'll try another dry spot and give em a day or two.

SouthernStrut56 03-15-2011 06:55 PM

Well did you put the Southern Charm on him or hit him with the White Lightnin'? I need a success story for the calls tomorrow!

Western MA Hunter 03-16-2011 05:59 AM

good luck.. lay him down for good today!

EFH 03-16-2011 09:58 AM

IBHUN10 03-16-2011 10:49 AM

Arrowmaster 03-16-2011 07:06 PM

Heres the measurments

He had a 8 5/8" beard
1" spur
7/8" spur

Your score is 20 + 10 + 8.75 + 17.25 = 56
