Citrus W.M.A.
i finally made it out to citrus this weekend for some scouting. i found some good spots and even some fresh hog sign. the food plots have already been planted and are about 1-2 foot tall.

no, Citrus is the only one i've hunted that has. their deer heard was well below 500 on approximately 50,000 acres a few years ago (due mainly to poachers). now with proper management it is getting MUCH better. i think the food plots were put in place to help improve and re-establish the herd.

I did not know they put out food plots on WMA's in Florida. Does all the WMA's do that?

I always loved to hunt Citrus WMA. For years I'd go for the special BP hunts. I usually was drawn every year for the hunts. Last time I hunted there was 1992. Then I started hunting in GA. Now it's to far away for me.
