I live north of Tampa. I hunt in Appalacola and hunt in Ga. This will be my first year hunting in Ga. I am pumped for this season. Bow season starts 9-11-04 in Ga. I can hunt in FL in the NW zone until the begining of Feb. That's 5 months of hunting. You gotta love that.

My uncle has a little over 300 acres that he manages along with his neighbor who has several hundred more acres and I have a friend a little ways down the road with 500 acres that I hunted most of the time last year But we had some problems with his neighbors last year that he had also given permission to hunt his property also so i probably wont hunt there this year but I usually Hunt econfina WMA its about a 10min. drive from my house and its an awesome turkey spot

Ranger I hear its getting harder to get a permit for econfina or maybe thats just in the dog hunt area. I haven't hunted it in several years but there where some nice bucks up there. If you hear of any leases up that way let me know, I have one in St. Joe but would rather have one up around Jackson or N. Washington counties.

That must be for dog permits I herd they were cutting back on them for econfina all you have to do is go get a $25 permit at walmart or where ever and it covers all managment areas in florida(use to be about $50 for 2 different management area permits) and they have the quota hunt permits I got a early gun season one last year and a muzzle loading permit in the fitzu carter(sp?) area on the other side of 20 I think the biggest deer shot in 2000 or 2001 was shot up there at econfina, But its hard to find good spots up there, every where by the creek in the oaks is all non hunting areas and the spot I hunted last year is now a huge logged field so its getting worse and worse I wanted to get a lease this year but ran into some financial trouble and had to hold off but I should have one next year, Theres usually several leases listed in the news paper but most of them I had called on were near ebro.
