Title: Saturday's Osceola
Post by: Cove on March 14, 2011, 10:28:09 PM
He was well earned! On the 8th day of a 9 day hunt I was able to seal the deal, public lands can be brutal!

I'll have several in the vest at any given time (I'm a mouth call guy). Seems like its the Persuader i think, and a pair of the Jr's.

He got a little too close. I shoot an 870 SM, .665 MadMax and 3.5" hevi 13 #7s.

Congratulations! Glad you sealed the deal. Sure did a number to that dude. Those got to be the widest black bands on an Osceola wing I've ever seen. No mix breeding there. Congrats again.

Nice bird.  When asked "what WMA?" claim amnesia.  Very few public land Florida birds are showing up on the other big forum.  Guys are finally figuring it out.
