Avon Park is a decent place to hunt. I do not like the way thenew leadership has come into Avon Park andjacked up the prices for permits. One of theproblems with Avon park is that you pay $275 for a permit and the base can close down on any given day due to ongoing operations. It is some hard hunting and yes definitely get yourself some snake boots. Also be careful around the waterways. Huge gators
