Default Florida Bird Down

Got on one this past weekend down here in central Florida. My 5 year old boy had a blast watching it all go down. That's worth more than a sack full of Gold!

19lbs 15oz
8 1/2" Beard
1 1/16" Spurs

Scored 58.1875

Nice. I was stationed in Pensacola for 3 years and didn't even look into hunting Osceolas. Wasn't until 2 years after I left FL that I started hunting gobblers. I really wish I had done some turkey hunting in FL but deer and hogs ate up most my time there.

whew 70 degrees colder is quite the difference. I'm all about some cold weather myself even though I'm born and raised in florida my whole life haha. good luck on sticking one! I have a 6 year old son who is getting more into it each time we go.

Yeah they're quite intriguing to hunt. I try and split up my time hunting each a little here and there. Just depends on the temp and weather down here.
