definately no shortage in bears anywhere in Florida. i gave a friend a Lake Delancy Muzzle Load permit for last weekend and lent him my muzzle loader and treestand. i told him where to go and he seen 2 bucks, 1 doe and 8 bears all in one morning. the first buck appeared just before shooting light and he said it had a rack. he said he could see the buck through the scope but could not see the scopes crosshairs. the second buck was only a 4 inch spike.

Good luck Camo..I'm scouting the Green Swamp Friday..I aint tacking up any trails until I find what I'm looking for..
Pooper ,,,rubs and a heavily used trail..a scrape would be a plus.

Thanks Camo,
My principal gave me Friday off to scout..He's hunted the Green Swamp fo r20 years ..so I ask him."Sir, if you had one place to hunt in the Green Swamp where would it be?" He told me..but 2 miles deep in the swamp..[&o]I said."And how do you plan to get that deer out." He shrugged his shoulders..
Now, I've been to where he hunts but it's actually a known area..I'm scouting areas that I truly beleive a dog wouldn't go in to..I plan to put some quality time in Friday. I'll have food and water and my 38 pistol..
I have 3 areas I'm looking into..All 3 are nasty..and then one more unknown..
