New to the area down from Lake Delancey area in Ocala National Forest. Did some research for general gun and muzzle and it seems in my area here around Land O Lakes the only spot for general is Richloam and then green swamp and upper and lower hillsborough first of the year with either muzzle loader or shotgun only?

Are any of these areas worthwhile currently and if so would anyone care to share a general entry point (what main entrance to start out at)?

I'm willing to do the work just don't want to completely waste my time, endanger myself or others?

green swamp and richloam are both walk on areas after the 1st 9 days, so you dont need a quota permit for those. upper and lower hillsborough on the other hand you do. so unless you have a quota you cant hunt there. small game is a diffrent story though. read through the brocheres, theyll tell you everything you need to know. http://myfwc.com/hunting/wma-brochures

Heres a link to areas that you can hunt that don't require a quota permit. http://myfwc.com/media/547579/hunt_W...tNotNeeded.pdf

richloam is just nasty roads and dog hunters

green swamp will be under water this year but some nice deer in there although its a massive area.

never hunted the other one
