O.K. I admit it. At times I find myself envious, even jealous of the pro-hunters and fisher folk that made the big time. They get to hunt or own expansive tracts of private ground and hunt the big name ranches. Basically do the things that I dream about doing.
Trapped in a workaday world, an average outdoorsman has to squeeze a busy schedule just to find time to slug it out on the public lands and small tracts of private property that one has been lucky enough to garner permission to enter. I`m sure that many of you out there can relate to this.
That`s one of my reasons for this project. I want to give some insight into the other side of outdoor adventures, the side not often seen in the hunting and fishing shows on the T.V. While we may scrimp and save to charter a boat, or take a guided hunt, we're basically trying to enjoy the outdoors on layman's terms, sharing those adventures with you!
FLORIDA TURKEY HUNTING
Spring is the time to hunt wild turkey. That season kicks off earlier than anywhere else in Florida! While he has hunted an taken birds on public land there before, it's gotten pretty crowded in subsequent years. This is because the Osceola subspecies of turkey can only be found in that state. So last year, he decided to get everyone together for a guided turkey hunt. This can be a bit bit pricey, but it turned into a great three days with family spending some time together! He also managed to tag his bird on film!
