Hopefully there will be pictures to post on Monday. Take care all, h.h. |

I'm back from Florida and no Osceola! Had a chance at two but they were too far. I shot at the second one but he was too far. I didn't take my gun and borrowed one there. Not enough choke or shell for a 60 yard shot.
If I go next year I will take my own gun and ammo that will reach out and touch them. All the turkeys I saw were far away and wouldn't answer a call. There are so many hens there the toms henned up right after coming off the roost and wouldn't come to a call.
I still had a great time and my friends invited me back next year. They are thinking about selling a couple Osceola hunts next year so if anyone is interested keep this in mind. h.h.

I had heard that this sub-species is tough to hunt. Let me know next year. I could be interested.. How about hogs? Did you do any good on them? |

Woody, I got winded 3 out of 4 time I saw hogs. On the last day I had four hogs come in and killed one, then went after a turkey that was gobbling behind me. After I left the stand the other hogs came back in. If I would have stayed I could have killed another hog. The hog is a boar that weighs around 120 lbs. Shot him about 25 yards board side and double lunged him. We killed a big rattlesnake in camp that was 5' long and one night there was a spider in the shower house that was as big as a coffee cup saucer. Lots of different critters there than here. h.h.   |

Hux,
