Title: FL bound soon
Post by: Ricochet on February 27, 2013, 03:09:35 PM
I'm getting fired up - 1 week from today I will be chasing some Osceolas in FL!   :z-guntootsmiley:  Then I will have a few days rest and start chasing them here in SC.  :)

We've got colder temps and high winds forecast for this wk. end so we're going to let the Opening Day crowds chase em without us.   We're planning on going out next wk.   

Where are you headed to JP.?

Don't really have any tips as I have never hunted birds there just was out with a buddy who spotted a few. I would say get as much scouting as possible and set up early

Good luck JP.    Have you been hearing any gobbling???   I've got a friend that starts his hunt there tomorrow (I think,  it's the next time frame).

The Osceolas were not cooperating, so no luck but I did hear some gobbling on the roost - on the ground was a different story (nothing).  My SC season starts Friday!  :)

Yeah, I wish I scouted OK Slough before hand but I tried nonetheless. I hear Dinner Island is better!
