Made the trip for the first time last week and had an incredible hunt on the first morning. He gobbled sparingly but finally showed himself about 150 yards out and strutted all the way to the dekes through planted pines and palmettos. Awesome experience in some really cool terrain. Definitely going on the wall.
Way to go! Beautiful pic! :z-guntootsmiley: Did you get him on public land? I'm hoping to get down there in a few years...
Awesome bird...the terrain is what really did it for me on my hunt, glad you mentioned that part and was able to capture it in some photos.

This was private land. I figured this was a one time deal so I wanted to increase my chances. This was my first time with an outfitter for any sort of game so it was a different experience. I'll definitely be back to Florida in the future though
Nice bird, congrats!
Real nice bird. Congrats.

Nice bird, was looking to book a hunt this year but ended up not working out.
Tell us more about the outfitter? Location? Fly in or drive? You check your gun in if flown? How many days was the hunt? How bout them spurs?

Osceola Adventures was the name of the Outfitter. He did a great job. It was 3 of us and 2 of us killed the first morning and he hunted hard trying to get my other buddy a bird but it just didn't work out. He is letting him come back because he wants 100% success for his clients. PM me if you'd like his number or other info.

Yep, can't wait. His oldest has a volleybal tourney Saturday and is going to come down to the farm late Saturday and hunt Sunday. Should be a blast!
Dang. Nice looking bird and spurs. Congrats.....
Wow look at those HOOKS
Congrats on a beautiful bird.
Nice bird!
Easy to see why that one is going on the wall. Awesome.
