PS, I hope you know that I'm kidding. I couldn't hunt down south from some of the horror stories I've heard. Kudos to y'all that are successful down there, y'all earn'em. im the mr rogers of the woods, need any help dragging a deer or pig ill loan you my game cart ,truck broke down, need a cold beer or a water ,aint seen anything i might not send you to where im hunting but i will try to put you in a decent area. just dont give me the i got cameras out there and been scouting for 3 months bullshit or didnt you see my truck parked there first, yes i saw your truck parked at the trail head where there is room for 6 other trucks and this is the main trail or fire break, just like mr rogers who was a trained assassin for the cia i do have a limit of dickheadedness i can take before i turn into a real foul mouthed lunatic begging for some violence but thankfully thats only happened maybe 3 times in forty years hunting south florida wmas.

Late day 3 report Birds were quiet only 1 gobbled on the roost, way to north. I went that direction. By the time I got up to the area he stopped gobbling. I would go 300 down the fire rd sit and call, then move on the next 300 yards. Nothing all morning. I was on my way out when I stopped at a large oak tree by the fire rd so I could take my leg off due to pain in my stump. As I'm sitting there and a bird walks out into the fire break and stands there. He was 60 yards out and I was so tempted to take the shot, but I passed. He moved on and I soft called but he never came back.

Day 4 last day 4 Birds gobbling this morning. I was setup on the 30 yards off the fence to the private pature. 2 birds were gobbling out in the pature. I did some calling and the started moving my direction. I could see them coming right at me. A100 yards out they started moving more to their right. They crossed the fence into the wma but they were 80 yards out. I clicked and purred, clicked purred. They didn't seem to care and went right into the pines. Damn it man! They gobbled every min or so going away. Another bird in the pature gobbled till 8:30 am and then shut down. I've moved to where I saw the bird cross the rd yesterday.

Too many Hens. Cant compete with live birds. Need to open up harvest of Hens again at least during Archery. But its part of the plan to end hunting so....
