How bad is the hunting pressure on public land during the youth turkey season?

Depends on the individual wma. If it's central or south Florida then the pressure is usually just as high as the regular season.

Ready for it! My dad and I are making the trip to swamp gobbler outfitters to hunt March 12-14. Don't know what to expect other then a lot of fun and good memories as I've never hunted Florida before, but we are pumped to hopefully tag our first Osceolas!

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

You guys that will start next weekend and subsequent weekends in Florida, have FUN!  Great place to kick off the season!!  I've hunted there twice and LOVED every minute of it.  Those of you hunting Florida for the first time, take in the TOTAL experience.  The anticipation of being there, getting there by plane or driving, hunting with family or friends and the HUNTS need to be cherished and appreciated.  Killing a bird is just ICING.  Good Luck to All, Be SAFE and ENJOY EVERYTHING.  Out of State hunts are a BLAST!!!

Thermocel and OFF are packed. I always take 3 or 4 knives because we shoot every hog we see and that sand in the hair really does a blade in quick.  I also take about as much fishing tackle as turkey gear. The pond on our place has moster bass!! Action all day long makes it hard to get time on the beach lol...

For anyone in south Florida how wet has it been this year? Last year my time down there it was as dry as I've ever seen it, I was walking through bone dry cypress heads and encountered very little water. I'll be heading down Friday, good luck to everyone heading down!

It's a wet year down here. Places that were bone dry last year are half way up your shin now. Time to break out the crocs!

Most years my place only has one main pond, this year it has 3.

You and your father will have a great time. I've hunted with them multiple times. Lots of turkeys and a beautiful piece of property! After you tag out tell Charley and Ben to take you to get a King burger!

Leaving on the 19th for central Florida, south of Orlando. Good to hear it's wet again. It's been dry there the last 2 years which opens up a whole lot more of the cypress heads for the birds to hang out. With the water, at least the birds won't be nooning in those low spots although those birds are not averse to moving through water. Can't wait!!

My son may have shot the first turkey of the 2021 season lol.  We had a bird come in right at flydown. He was down by 6:40.  He got his first bird saturday morning. I am super pumped to say the least. I will get a report with pics when I can get it together.
