Default RE: 1st day...not so good.

thats pretty impressive that you guys picked the same spot considering it was a mile and a half from the parking area and there were only 7 other trucks. Is there easy access to this spot? Did you leave reflective tacs or orange tape someone might have followed?

The first 1/2 mile is an easy trail..but the rest is thick stuff..and I placed my tacks far apart..I did talk about it quite abit on the South forum....and if someone followed my post closely they could have possible figured it out..not sure..or maybe it was a coinsedence..one thing for sure ..I'll be shutting up about where I hunt at..and no sir..I don'r use that flagger tape..and I had no tacks close to the trail.. I memorized the trees and other landmarks.

Problably most bow hunters would rather hunt hammocks anyway.{ Hammocks are thick oak trees and palmetto stuff along wet lands or a river} It's the easiet place to get a close shot. and nice stand trees..

Some other places in central florida are bayheads..in which I will be at nest week..We have acres of thick berry bushes and palmetoes..fields that would be good for a 30-06..HUGE fields..However; the deer retire during the day in these THICK islands of skinny cypress trees..many are to skinny for a climber so theadvanced hunter looks for bayheads with nice acorn trees scattered in them....with a wet watering hole..I'm not sure what kind of berries are in the field but the deer love them..looks like elder berries to me..

Here's an example of a bayhead/ cypress dome...only the brave go in..Water Moccassin city.[&o]
