Congrats on the gobbler Oscar! Hopefully I'll find one willing to play the game this weekend.

Well, as you may have noticed form the general forum, I am going on a last minute hunt to Florida. We will be in Panama City anyway, so I am gonna chase some easterns. Hopefully since it isn't the coveted other species that FL holds, there won't be nearly as much pressure.

I've never hunted outside of Tennessee or North Alabama, so I am excited to adventure onto some other territory, and it's going to be quite different than the pretty steep hills and hollers that I am used to. Ought to be a good learning experience, at least!

I came close in Florida last Friday. Long story short, I had to get really aggressive as the hunting ends at 1:00 p.m., and I spooked them. The bird had stayed in the same area for about an hour and a half, and I had been able to belly crawl to about 35 yards from him, but it was so thick between me and him that I was going to have to try to stand up to shoot him. When I started repositioning myself to get ready to stand and shoot, he busted me. Oh well...it sure was fun!

At least you got to go see some new territory and got to get after one. Good luck to you on the home turf!

My Tennessee season got off to a slow start yesterday. I put quite a few miles in, could have killed one of about half a dozen jakes on a couple of different occasions (I'm not above killing a Jake...I love the meat), and enjoyed the woods for about 12 hours.
