Guys,
I got a archery permit (1 out of ten) to hunt the first week in Yellow River - Grassy Point WMA -SW of Florida but have no idea how good that area is hog and deer-wise. If any of you ever hunted in that area, please give me some inputs.
Thanks

Have you tried looking it up on goggle earth to get an idea of what it looks like? That might help a little. I know nothing of this place. I see it's off I-10. How far from 75?

it is about 280 miles from I-10/I-75. I live in Tallahassee so it takes at least 2 hours to get there. Google map does not help much.

The terrain is flat, with lots of scrub oak and pines. It is swampy, loaded with deer, hogs and bear- just across river from Eglin AFB- LOADED with game!

Beulahboy,
According to the map, it is on the side of Eglin AFB. Do you know how to get there by car? I checked google map and see Grassy Point Rd. You mentioned it is swampy? Do I need a boat to get there or I could just walk with rubber boots?
Thanks

I work w/ plenty of people from that area- let me get you some directions tomorrow!

Hi beulahboy,
Thank you very much. I got a permit to hunt in Grassy Point (shaded area in the map) and I amdesperate to find out ways to get there. I guess I have to drive through Eglin AFB which I dont know if they allow me to do so since I am a foreigner. Btw I live in Tallahassee.
