Interesting about the palms. However, I wonder about the species. I'm sure that Washingtonia palms aren't native to Florida, so I'm guessing they wouldn't be found deep in the woods. Sure it's wasn't just a native Sabal palm? They will also have the fruit. Maybe you were hunting in a suddivision? HA HA Just kidding. Anyway, cool story about the bear. Stay safe.
My appologiesfor calling it a Washington Palm, BugsNbows knows his Swamp Cabbage!
Yep!....
Sabal Palm! Man, as much of Catfish & Swamp Cabbage that I have eaten...
