He'd kill me if I told but think NASCAR and Spring Break. Here's the 10pt he got recently also. He has a public land spot that he has been hunting for many years and has itfigured out.He took me there before but I didn't get anything. Most of the deer have to be floated out.

Hey...that's encouraging he got that on public land. And no ....We wouldn't expect you to reveal the spot maybe just north or central Florida.I do all my hunting in the Green Swamp except for 2 out of state expeditions.Great deer though. I stuck my stand in an oak tree yesterday and I don't plan on sharing my spot as well. I'll be in it tomorrrow. My son leaves for the army today and I need to be here with him today.
God bless you,
Chuck

Chuck,

Tell your son congrats for signing up. What field will he be getting into?

I've been in the Coast Guard for about 25 yrs. When I started to join upin 1980, I only planned on doing one hitch. Not sure what happened though. I guess I liked what I was doing (CG aviation)and didn't have anywhere else to go on the outside. I was 19 at the time, goofing around on the beach when I decided to sign-up. Turned out to be a great career.....so far!

I'mstationed in Oregon at the moment but getting transferred to Wash DC. I have to leave in about 2 weeks.I was thinking of stopping by my bro-in-laws farmin Pensacola for a2 day hunt.I'll probablybe stopping by Daytona to see my folks. They're getting older and I haven't seen them in a year or so.I might even try to sneak in a hunt whilethere.

It would be nice to make a harvest as I got skunked here in Oregon this year. No deer,elk or bear. Did great last year.

Take care and good luck on your new hunting spot.......John

I was infantry and then promoted to the White House honor guard in 78 under President Carter.

I have to leave in about 2 weeks.I was thinking of stopping by my bro-in-laws farmin Pensacola for a2 day hunt.Great place to hunt.I was looking at Eglin this year but was invited by someone on here to hunt in MO . I was blessed with an 8 point. I'll probablybe stopping by Daytona to see my folks. They're getting older and I haven't seen them in a year or so.I might even try to sneak in a hunt whilethere.

I flushed a bunch up around my area last week and found a pretty cleared out spot deep into a the swamp. We'll see what happens.;)

Take care and good luck on your new hunting spot.......John

Rebel Hog,

What do you know, another Coastie out there. Actually, I think there is at leastone otherCoastiethat posts here also. I was at St Pete and Clearwater in 1981-83. If you're still into the CG life andaren't aware of this CG site,here is a link that you might find of interest.A few folks in during the50s-60's post on here. Lots of CG related discussions.

Good luck chasing the beast making the rubs.

John
