If you have a dog... watch out for gators. Happened to someone every year when I lived in SC. Terrible thing to hear about.
If I was y'all.... I'd save my money and take a trip to LA, MS, AR, or canada. There are spots here and there in Fla that I've heard about (mostly around Lake O.) that have some fair to decent duck hunting. But most of them are no big secret. |

Lake Miccosukee (sp?) and Lake Jackson are other hotspots around Tallahassee. Snead's Smokehousenorth of Greenville,Fl. is a great place to duck hunt too and much less pressured. I use to hunt at Hickory Mound WMA for bluwing/greenwing teal also, on the gulf side during the early season. Around any of the rivers(aucilla,wacissa,ecofina, etc) in my area held decent populations of wood ducks and some widgeon.

you will find a great florida-specific duck hunting forum at http://www.floridawaterfowler.com/cg...assCookie=true, Since i last posted this thread, it has been my first duck hunting season that yielded my first duck!,
 ,  , yep, a banded drake woodie, i was soooo excited! tell your husband, mstrause, that he should visit those forums and try scouting Black Creek(near OrangePark), and Lake Samson/Rowell, where i shot this duck!, good luck! |
