Default RE: green swamp wma in florida

yea, personally i like to hunt durin the week too, ain very many people there. can't wait til after christmas, im goin to be in there from dec. 26th until Jan. 4th(the last day of the season), the rut will be in full affect!, Good luck in Ocala, ain been there in a long time, at the start of this season a friend of mine got a nice 7 point out of ocala weighed 167, main beams were around 14in. tall with and inside spread of 11 3/4 in. I've read about a lotta big deer in ocala, need to go sometime. I just can't shake myself from goin to greenswamp, there is so much of that place that is untouched, which means big bucks unseen, I would bet money that theres more than a few like the 25 point stovall buck in those woods. If you put into perspective that greenswamp is 50,659 acres and that in an average season there are around 150 bucks killed on average that would put 1 buck per every 337 acres the thing is of that 337 acres your probably only looking at about75-100 acres being "accessable" due to the fact that 2/3 of greenswamp is just that... SWAMP...which would put the actual "average" number in 337 acres between 4 and 5 bucks, which means statistically that hunters are probably only seeing 25% of bucks in those woods, which in turn puts a bucks survival rate at somewhere around 75%...and the fact that most of the deer killed are 3-4 years and younger!...thats what keeps me goin back...Hunting is more than just going in the woods , its becoming the woods! GOOD LUCK!!!
