Post by: RLAG on March 09, 2023, 01:07:45 PM
South Florida public land Osceola this morning! First time ever in Florida turkey hunting and obviously first Osceola.  I'll post scoring and details after I bang out this 9 hour drive home(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230309/ff07ded539c8fc0ab058309164f71dc5.jpg)

Congrats RLAG!  I knew it was a good decision to put you on the team!   :D ;D

Now, make sure you review the picture taking requirements, take good photos of the needed documentation, and get your bird posted in the "Pictures and Scoring" thread.   :icon_thumright:

Yes sir JETLAG,
Way to go and congratulations on a nice one. Safe trip home.

Just ignore the rest of the team that had a bet going on how many days you would be lost. by the way I won, I said zero

Thankfully I was able to fight my way out of that alligators belly after a couple hours. Hearing the gobble gave me strength to pry open his jaws and get to running

Listen I'm not admitting to anything here but all I'll say is that anyone who has ever traveled to hunt or camp knows that mountain houses and pro bars can put it to your gut.

They should really add that as a selling point on the package.

"Mildly nutritious and alligator repellent"

May not even need permethrin either

Congrats RLAG, looks like a nice up-grade, good thing someone on this team still knows where the trigger on their gun is!!
Title: Re: GOATS are on the board
Post by: RLAG on April 19, 2023, 08:27:16 AM
Tell you what, I bout forgot where the trigger was after the show he put on for me last night. He did everything you want in a hunt. Hard gobbling, strutting, spit and drum, 15yds
