I've hunted in South Florida twice over the years and it is a Wonderful way to start out your turkey season.  Good Luck to all that start their season next weekend.

After hunting one same undisclosed area for 30 plus years .....I finally got really stuck , Joe knows the story .,lol ...I spent the night out in the swamp sleeping in a submerged 4x4 , no cell phone signal and 14 miles away from the nearest road , and that road was a lime rock road that nobody comes down

Raining like crazy ....water rising ....in the morning I was planning to give the high lift jackwench 1 last try ,and this was after 12 hours of wenching it out  ...shovel , broken straps

Anyways ....prepared to abandon the truck hike on out for possibly a 8 hour hike through often times waist high water -- with my water , and pistol .....wouldn't you know by grace of God I managed to snatch out of that hole ....

Then I spent a few hours trying to get out of the same trail ..that was now 1-2 foot higher in runoff water

My buddy blew 1 ford engine up there , and another a toyota engine in there by sucking in water in the intake ---even when it's bone dry there are holes just like the pictured

Be prepared to abandon your truck FOR GOOD if you hunt this area , and you get stuck cause the only thing that will get you out is a buggy

Buggy ...or hike it , the 2 options

I had an oh, crap! moment in a Florida WMA years ago, and it was not even wet.  Just soft sand and with an all-wheel drive Santa Fe. Wife was at the condo 40 miles away, and I had the only car.  Fortunately, I was able to back out.  I never told her about it.  I still hunt the area on our spring vacation, but I'm real careful about where I drive.  Whenever I come up on water, I get out and walk it first.
