RE: New to the forums...anyone hunt near Gainesville FL?
Welcome! I just graduated in 06 from UF. I didn't hunt much around Gainesville, as my hometown was only 1.25 hrs away. Friends of mine would go to a WMA near G-ville, sorry but i don't remember the name of it! I remember them talking about it was pretty good, but alot of hunters went to it (has to be listed under the FWC's website somewhere). As for the dog comment - A couple of years ago I got into deer-dog hunting and it's a blast!
Have you passed by the agricultural field near the Southwest Rec center and Park & Ride 1? I had a crop science class there two summers ago, and a group of us hunters always talked about how easy it would be toshoot a limit of doves in that field.
