Where are yu going this weekend. I'll be at the regular Green Swamp.on Friday and Sat. I'll be there at the check station at 5: 15. off the Rockridge side. I 'll be driving a white Explorer Sport with Bow Hunting decal in the back window. I f you see me stop me I'd like to meet you. What will you be driving in.? Like I said before if you e-mail me I'll give you my exact location. I'm a nice guy too and my wife forces me not to hunt too expensive. I cut lawns on the side that is used for hunting only. I painted a house too so I got a good nest egg for fall. I wouldn't send you any trash e=mail .I'm a teacher and can't afford to lose my job.

CONCERNING THE WEST SIDE. I thought you only sent in the 100 dollars if you are drawn to hunt there. I thought you only send in 5.oo with each application. Then if you are imformed that you were drawn you have so many days to send in the 100. is this right?

April 1st Saw one large hen. lots of turkey, deer, and hog tracks. Down side , had to walk over 2 miles.
Chuck

Yeah, but at least you din't have to work like the rest of us poor fools. I too saw a really big hen, (the biggest I've ever seen), up there in GS east.

Good luck on the rest of the weekend, I'm heading back out tomorrow at o' dark thirty to Turner River Unit. Looks like rain is in store for us but, it still won't hold me back.

A couple of weeks ago, know of a fella that shot a nice tom after we got pounded by the rain. Hoping for lightning to strike twice.

Supposed to stop raining in the morning and most is SUPPOSED to be in the northern part of Florida. I'm hoping anyway. My barrel is rusty anyway. I got a new call from Ebay today. A new Primo Freak. I wanna try it out. I need a good purring call.
C ya,
Chuck

Chuck7, how has the hunting been up there the last two weeks. My season has ended today with a total -0- in harvests for me. But had a really good time.

Might be able to hunt up at the big Green Swamp over the next two weeks if my plans for GA and Bama fall thru.

Did you ever get your bird?

4 out of 6 times I had birds answering my call. Last weekend was very close. I began using my Primos "freak" with the "cuttin striker." In 15 minutes I had 2 different sets of birds calling back. A friend of mine Strut told me when this happens to purr softer making the birds think your farther away. I wasn't doing that. Anyway as I was hoping to see a bird ,another hunter about 100 yds away sounded off 2 blast of a shotgun. I never heard anymore. I moved to powder grade but never heard any there. Saw lots of tracks though around the bay heads. I walked up on a pretty doe feeding on o fire-break. I'm taking Friday off so I'm going to try again.

Chuck, I mentioned it to you before, to crouded.You were calling them
in for some another hunter. I bet he did'nt even thank you.
You did a good calling job, that's good! at least you know you can call
them in. Good luck!

Thanks Rebel Hog,
I wish I had another place in Florida to hunt that wasn't so crowded. I take off time to hunt during the week to advoid the crowds. However; that hasn't worked during turkey season. I remember you gave me some directions earlier but I didn't understand them. I believe you said to hunt close to the Richloam area. If you could give me some more exact directions I would be thankin you. If it requires 4 wheel drive I can't go.I talked to a man Sat. who shot 13 hogs in that area last year. He obviously wouldn't give me the exact location.

Chuck7 if you go up tanic and DON"T turn off to 3 Run you'll be heading north and slightly west. I think that's the spot rebel told you about. Last year it was really over grown, but I notice this year that there must have been a burn off becuase most of it was gone.

Did you ever find the "Hidden Road" that I was telling you about? Had turkeys all in there on our walk in, we bumped them out every time. One thing I didn't like about the 5:00am at the gate starting time. I like to sneak in and set up long before they start to move.

On that spot I gave you there are two areas that held birds.
1. a place we call the big oak
2. a place we call the little "y"
It's a litlle bit of a walk but that's why I liked it, becuase I knew that no one would walk in on my set up. It's here where I saw that monster hen. And saw tracks of toms and hens all over the place. They came in after the hogs rooted up the place. If you can't find it and want to check it out on the terra server, post here and I'll try and "pm" or e-mail you. Better hurry, as of this writting, I'm heading out tomorrow night to bama and Ga.

I'm always happy to recieve e-mail. I really don't like driving up tanic to meet 3 mile run. The sand is really deep. I swore to myself the last time if I got out of there I wouldn't go back. I made it back it was risky. I do APPRECIATE the offer though. One day I wouldn't mind meeting you out there if you want. I went out that way by Powder. There were loads of trucks. As I drove it seem to come to an iron fence with a field on a turn off. If you kept going it led you to 3 mile run. If you folowed tghat it went to Tanic. In that area was a narrow spot about 1 mile long super sandy. If another vehivle was coming I would have been in serious trouble.
