Those grapefruit like the one pictured were incredibly sweet. I usually hate grapefruit. Then I got under some wild Hamlin trees and lord them things was the best oranges I've ever eat. The man who owned the place ate them like apples, peel and all.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If its a thick peel its probably going to be as sour as lemons. If its a really thin peel then you have something sweet and edible.

Alligators and snakes are everywhere, whether its dry ground or wet ground. Snakes love to get in palmetto bushes. You have an opportunity to see everything in the zoo. Deer, turkey, lots of cool looking birds. Bears, bobcats, coyotes. And panthers. If you kill early, go fishing. We have giant bass, good blue gill, and all the tilapia you can handle. Then the saltwater fish are even more fun. DO NOT put your hand in any fishes mouth except a bass. On Osceola turkey, well I have no advice. Plan on driving to that end of the state in a year or 2.

So good there.I hunt with a shooting stick.........which will double as a palmetto bush whacker when I gotta sit down. Probably won't have time for fishing this trip. But next time around, I hope it's not such a whirlwind trip. Stop and smell more roses.........What are more prevalent ?? Rattlers or moccasins ?? Assuming the coral snakes are a non-issue........
Quote from: randy6471 on March 08, 2021, 05:41:36 PMOver the years I've hunted 4 of the sub species (no Mexico for me) and every spring for about the last 10 years, I've been traveling from Pa to Fla to hunt with a buddy at his place. Actually, I'm there now, waiting for the 20th, like a kid waitin for Christmas! What I notice most (as others have mentioned) is they just don't seem to gobble as much after fly down.Also, I usually like to be aggressive with both my hunting and my calling, but down there I really dial it back. Mid morning is good and we often call in just as many or more birds later in the morning, as we do right off of the roost. We have a couple set ups like you described, one being along a power line and the other at an intersection of a couple woods roads leading between food plots. If we don't do anything early, we just move to those locations, set out a couple of decoys, kick back and just do some soft calling.Bottom line is they're turkeys...be patient, enjoy it and I'm sure that you will have a great hunt!
