Sounds like I shouldn't go for the Merriams in OK. Anybody have any suggestions on what would be a good state that has resonable license fees and good places to go?

We were looking at the southern half of central FL, or south. Somewhere that is a no draw, and has good public land.

The eastern shouldn't be a problem (knock on wood haha). They are eveywhere up here by us in Michigan, and since the season starts when the others are ending, we shold have a decent amount of time to get the other three out of the way. Thinking about trying to do it in one big road trip, but most likely going to have to break it up. Probably into the Merriams/Rio trip and then south to Florida.
