Turkey slayer,

I hear you and I see Florida loosing public ground everyday. I must say I see alot of out of state outfitters coming down each season with clients and guiding them on public ground. In fact, I get alot of calls during the season from out of state hunters who booked such a hunt and had no luck at all with there guide and then pay me to hunt my private farms to get there birds. I feel the state should regulate that from happening in fairness to a paying hunter as well as to protect Florida.

As I do see your point, I also see it fair to help out other hunters and I typically steer them to put in for quota hunts in the central state area. South Florida is way over hunted and like you said, may soon be in trouble.

Either way, good to hear others sides of it and I feel your pain.
