Thanks Timber,
I also noticed how cgeap that realestate is there. Very tempting to move.
Homes and land that would sell easily for 225,000 sells there for 100,000

Southern Friends,
I just got the word from the Alabama wildlife authorities. Being in Florida and with the price of fuel I either wanted to hunt in Covington or Escambia county WMA . The 'man' said as Timber said, Covington must have at least 3 points on one side. Escambia must have antler above the hair line. SOLD !!! I'll be going to Escambia. I've only got one more steak left. I just ate 2. They were Green Swamp and very good.

Thanks for the replys,
Chuck

2 deer per day, 1 buck and 1 doe or 2 does from Oct 15 thru Jan 31, except in certain locations. Good hunting, good fishing, good people, good place to live, but the politians are the pits. Oh yeah, I forgot, we also have the Alabama Crimson Tide. Why woundn't anyone want to move here?

There is only one reason why I don't. Being a teacher I would lose my retirement. However; there are 4 towns that border Florida. I am presently looking at real estate in those locations. I trained once while in the service in Alabama. It is one of the most gorgeous states I've ever been in. I'm buying my son a license too this year so he will hunt with me.

Once I land a job in a northern school system in Florida,I'm out of here.

Yes ,After rereading there are 5 WMA areas with Quality bucks only. I believe they are still handing out SOME permits at the gate for does.

i live 30 miles from covington wma and 20 miles from blue springs wma.all management areas have certain days that you can hunt with a rifle, of those days it is possible to draw a doe permit on designated hunts. all females and hunters under 16 will be given a doe permit. covington does have a 3 point on one side rule. the land located in the covington wma is not owned by the state,and there is a rumor that the land owner may pull the lease if the state does not start manageing the land better.

I would think that there would be several openings for teachers in NW Fl. It seems the schools are always being added to. Just last week the Walton County school board announced they are going to build a new elementary school in Mossy Head, just west of DeFuniak Springs on highway 90. We have a new development close by where if you buy a 10+ acre parcel you have usage of the entire tract (about 6,000 acres, but with some restrictions) This is the second fastest growing county in the state and land is really going up in price. I know the school board members well, what grades do you teach?

Timber,
Thanks,I am certified to teach All ESE....,and Elementary K-6......I am also ESOL certified. I am presently teaching 3rd grade. My wife also teaches 3rd grade as well at the same school.

Thanks for the imformation,

Thanks,
Does it cost anything to camp on Covington? What are the hours of the check station? Were you very successful there? I read the stats from an Alabama web-site. They harvest 8 times more deer than my local WMA.And we are open 7 days a week for 2 1/2 months.

i am not sure if they have camping at covington wma. if it is allowed it will only be about $8 a night. if camping is not allowed there is camping at the state park at florala al at that state park. however at the blue springs wma there is primitive and electric hookups available. this campground is on a lake with showers. this campground is about a twenty minute drive from covington wma. the land at covington wma is only leased by the state therefore has not been improved by adding campsite and etc.
