Not real sure exactly what that means.That means you better make other plans. Lol. That's how far down the list of hunters that'll not pick up their permit. Bubba
Quote from: RutnNStrutn on January 04, 2019, 09:19:50 PMDon't know anything about those S. FLA places, but Bull Creek and 3 Lakes are romp and stomp hunts with hundreds of hunters. I won't waste my time there, and they're 1-1/2 hours from my house anyway. I hunt, when I can get drawn, at higher percentage areas close to home.

I hunt, when I can get drawn, at higher percentage areas close to home.I Know what you mean about hunters thats where I hunt, last year opener 188 hunters two birds shot. Second day 134 hunters six birds shot one was mine. It can be done but it is a real ZOO. My first trip down to Florida was in 2009 I shipped a tent down to a UPS store for in store pickup. Got onto a plane flew into Tampa, rented a car drove to Three Lakes and started the learning process. The second day out a guy shot my Jack decoy, learning process no more male decoys on public land. I hunted till one oclock (end of legal shooting time) each day and walked all afternoon till dark scouting. I learned what the North fence, and south fence property looked like, and many spots in-between. I missed my opportunity the last day I was there, and didn't shoot a bird that year. In 2010 I was back and filled one tag, been back every other year since. And I have been more successful with at least one bird every time since. But thats partly because I now know how to hunt pressured birds. But I also have met a terrific bunch of people down there, that keep me filled in as to what going on in Three Lakes. So now I spend my afternoon and evening sitting around a campfire and telling stories. So if some day I dont fill a tag again down there, I still will be going home with a lot of new stories and great Memories.

But several of my friends have for years. If you want to hunt there successfully, you'd best be prepared!! It's tough to get in there. 4 wheelers with snorkels and big mud tires, or monster swamp buggies just to get in. Camping gear to spend the nights out there. Be ready to deal with gators, panthers, bears and pythons. That's a real man's hunt!!
