One more week....and minus an Osceola
Next week about this time I'm headed to Florida to hunt the Osceola. Just curious as to how many people are going to hunt in Florida this year? Since I'm active duty Air Force I'm going to hit up a couple of spots that are military only and hopes of an Osceola. I'm going for a slam and I've been waiting for this season to roll around. I love to deer hunt, but there something way more exciting when it comes to turkey hunting. After Florida, I'm headed to Georgia (my home state), Tennessee, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Ohio (where I'm stationed), and then Michigan. Hopefully this year will be the year. Good luck to all and have a safe and blessed season.

I'm headed to Florida a week from today for an Osceola as well. Then to Kansas for Easterns, Oklahoma for Rios, back home to Missouri for Easterns again and then to Nebraska for Merriams. Hopefully I'll have time to hit Iowa or Illinois as well. I can't believe it's finally here!

Mr. Longbeard,
There are many people in the military that are either sponsored, or are on some type of professional team. A guy I work with is a professional racquetball player and gets all kinds of stuff from Ektelon. I've been prostaff for right at 4 years now. It's fun and really makes time fly. Now that turkey season is in...its certainly time to do what I love. Good luck and have a blessed season.
