Have been to the HitchingPost while hunting at Stienhatcheejust a mile or so east of Jena Beach! Have also hunted Buckeye Paper Co. across the road from Stienhatchee, but you have to buy a special license in Perry which was $110.

everything was taken

As far as FL vs. FSU Im a man and can say good job last year....but this year is a whole new ball game.

I have hunted the St johns river marsh back home near melbourne, as well as three lakes WMA. Since i moved to Tallahassee in 03 for school I hunt the Apalachicola national forest, Joe Budd WMA, ohclockonee WMA and the St marks national wildlife refuge. There are some good woods within in hour drive of this area. I have gotten a few private property invites before, in pasco and polk counties. My roomate owns 90 acres in candler county GA just outside of metter but it seems every year i go everyone gets a deer but me.
Here is a pic of a hog I got in the wakulla unit of st marks national wildlife refuge last year :


Each yr i drop some $$$$ on apps to try and get into Green Swamp West, but this year is my first year in 3 not getting picked. Its my favorite place to hunt in the state. Here is a great buck my dad killed off of it last year, it netted 119"


This is my second year pulling tags for gator hunting, and thats where I have been for the past week. Me and my hunting party pulled 4 tags (8 gators) for Lake Marion in Osceola County. We were fortunate enough to fill all 8 tags - the biggest was an 11 footer that was FAT just shy of 500 pounds.


We do it as a kick off to the hunting season, and the first step to a florida grand slam. Last year was my first year getting the slam in one season...hopefully this year will be the same! Thanks guys!
