Ok #1 the bugs will be out inforce. So a good repelant is a must.
gators and snakes will be out also..

Right out side tall. there are 2 good wma "i have been in and sean turkeys". and there are 2 other ones.

I cant spell so the name are not right but your brother should be able to get the corect spelling of them.
Okliney river wma and talquen are right off high way 90. Talquen is one of the good ones.
"i will probly be there some time this year."

Joe Budd is all so a good place its between midway and qunicy. But it has a check Black powder or bow only. it got a realy good fish pond in it too.

the last one is aplachicola its off highy way 20 and actualy runs through parts of tall.

I have hunted it but not that part. its a big wma it goes all most all the way to the cost. through a bunch of countys.

The best bet will probly be talquen wma though.

I can evan give you a heads up on the scoutinting. on geady rd. up by the power lines i see a bunch of birds there every year. at least for the past 4 years.
its right there above the main entrance to the wma.

hope this helps

BT just curious, Why would you want another hunter where you hunt competing with you?

RE: Florida Spring turkey
 

Well thats a good ? ant it.

To me its not a compition.
The land and places i told him about are WMA there open to the public.
I have no expetation to hunt in any one location on a wma.
If he or any one else is at my chosien spot i will go to another spot or hunt some where else.

I am luckey than most i own a farm and have acess to other privet land to hunt.
so i can hunt when i want to or am able to.

I like the idea of hunters helping hunters. I still belive in the old golden rule.
