Your time frame sounds great to me, I expect to be full time in Fl in about 7 years. I will start hunting it for 2 weeks starting next year. Probably focus on the swannee since it is close. This year I might pick up all the licenses but wouldn't have more than a couple of days to walk around. Being out of state I am not sure that spending a few hundred on licenses for a couple days is the best route.
If your not hunting can you go in scouting? I would not want to screw with someone's hunt but wouldn't mind walking some roads/trails.
