been hunting easterns in central ohio for the past 10 years and recently moved back to florida and hoping to score my first Osceola. limited to management areas at this time and have been hunting richloam wma. did not apply in time for quota hunt so I had to wait for the first 9 days to pass to hunt. not hearing many birds at all, have seen some sign and some hens but no toms yet. with 58000 acres I feel like I'm chasing my tail. has anyone hunted this area? any ideas? after trying shock call at sunup and a few yelps I've basically just settled in for a couple hours with soft cluck and purrs. cant tell if birds are call shy, done doing their spring thing or just a small population. half the fun is just hearing the birds and I am missing that.
