In Jacksonville you have some home owners associations but I am sure its not as bad as tampa or more down south. We just built a house two years ago and the houses are not right up next to each other like you see all over the place down south. We also have a home owners association but all they want is your money they don't pay no mind to ya. Plus you got the Superbowl coming next year so that will be exciting. THe place I go hunting is about 40 min out of Jax in a WMA. IF you don't want to shell out alot of money and join a hunt club thats about your only choice. Let me know if you come back down this way and me and the wife will be glad to show ya'll around I sure it has changed alot since you been back here.
