Agreed, but... Let's say that you travel 1000 miles or more to hunt Osceolas on public land. Unless you have excellent inside info, you have to scout and hunt at the same time, find a place to stay, get meals, and then hope that you can kill one. By the time you figure all your costs in and your time, you'll find that it would have been far easier, albeit a few dollars more expensive,to hunt with an outfitter who knows the local birds, and probably have a much better chance at a harvest. Do others go down and hunt public lands and harvest there bird, sure. But many make the trip, only to come home empty handed. I would rather pay a little extra and come home with my Osceola. If hunting with an outfitter for Osceola's really strains the budget, I would hunt closer to home, and delay my trip to Florida until I can afford to have a good shot at one.
