Looks like there are only Four WMA`s in our area that is open to the Public,without a Quota or a Rec. Use Permit.......

Tiger Bay

Three Lakes

Bull Creek

Upper St. Johns River Marsh

First Two Day`s are Quota,then Open for the rest of Archery Season :D

Where do yall live Garry ?

Just to see what`s around over there .

Tossa, is Quota only isn`t it....or do they have an open season ?

I understand about Family Land,and it should stay just for family,or it just starts looking like Public Land after awhile....that`s why I NEVER ASK...if it`s offered I`ll jump on it,but I understand the Land-Owner is responcable for what goes on in his property,and why take that chance with folk`s you don`t know ;)

5A....Where is that ? Is it open to the Public to Hunt on ?

I`m just ready to put a stick through some food,and don`t care where it happens :P

I hunt Tossohatchee as MUCH as possible! I love hunting there but it is a lil hard to get the quota permit. I've got a ton of spots with plenty of deer in them;). Other than that I hunt in 5A (THE MUDDING AREA)(there is more deer out there than you think. and I hunt my Mom's Uncle's land where I shot the turkey(he doesn't like outsiders on his land though :angry: ) I really haven't hunted many WMA's other than Tosso for deer (except Farmton back in the day).

Well........Let`s pick a spot for Sept Bow Season,we can go scout it out in Aug. ;)

Like you,my fishing bug is strong,and I also need to spend more time in the wood`s,but it`s tough to find anyone around here that likes to do that on a regular basis,so my Fishing Bug is easier to feed.........Meeting up with someone at a Hunting Area sure makes it easier to toss the Climber and Bow in the truck,instead of hooking up the boat ;)

I know there are plenty of WMA`s around the state,I know Bull Creek fairly well,but never tried any of the other`s. I checked most of them out on the Computer,but never had the time to do it in person. Are there any that you like more than the other`s ?

Think about it a little,and let me know ;)

Wow! thats a nice buck!

My dad started me out at the young age of 1! We deer hunted with dogs so I was always near the truck. We still do that a lil but its getting harder to do so now. Started shooting a bow at 4 (small little homemade "recurve" :) ). I love hunting but I've caught the fishing bug for the last 4 years and spend more time on the water instead of the woods. I'm trying to get out there more though, I seem to have good luck when I do go....:D

RE: Turkey Season!

Cracker11 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 02:38:26 GMT

Yeah,I guess that does kinda stick out .

Your a very lucky man Garry,it sounds like you and your father spend alot of time together in the Hunting Wood`s,I never could get mine away from his Bass-Boat long enough to take an intrest :pinch:,so I was an Adult before I caught the Hunting Bug,and oddly enough,it was my Bro-In-Law that took the time to teach me to Sweat The Details,then turned me loose on his 250 achor`s of prime Hardwood Bottom,and Corn Field`s in SW Georgia.

We went up for thanksgiving,shot my first Deer {8 Point},and I fell in love with Hunting right then and there.......so much,that I called a friend,and had him put my Tool-Box in storage,and I stayed in the woods for another year up there........I payed my way by working in Bro-In-Law`s Sign Shop at night,and a little Gun-Smithing for some of the locals.....but my day`s were spent in the Wood`s. I get a Rush every time I slip on my Camo`s,and I think about those days :D

Here`s the critter that started it all :

Cracker,

I remembered you so well cause I've never seen a turkey hunter use a bow in spring.... just kinda stuck:w00t:.

Capt. Keven,

My father and I checked out three lakes the weekend before opening weekend. Very nice place, seen three hens walk across the road and seen some good gobbler sign in the fresh burn area. Looked like a good place to hunt but it was a long long drive over.... hour and a half.:crazy: Good luck to you hunting there, maybe we'll get a wild hair and drive down there for a weekend and camp.....

oh yeah... I never knew there was a wrong side of the fence...jk:D

RE: Turkey Season!

Cracker11 — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 02:33:17 GMT

Wow,How the heck.....:w00t:.....Garry,you got one heck of a Memory,that was a few year`s ago.

Sence I Bow-Hunt only,I`ve learned to stay out of the Public Turkey Wood`s during Turkey Season...too many Shotgun`s at Waist Level for my liking ;)........But,Bow-Season is just around the corner.....I try to get my bird early,then a Doe`s for the Freezer,Hog`s and Buck`s during Gun-Season ;)

Capt, Keven : Running the Fence-Line for bird`s can get agrevating,waiting for them to cross over is like waiting for Christmas....but like Christmas,it`s worth the wait ;)

Better luck on your next trip Keven....Stay Safe :D

Went out to three lakes this morning. Had a hen run to me and do a funky little dance at about ten feet in front of me. When walking back to the truck I called up another hen. I moved again along Illahaw fence line and called up a huge Long beard to bad he was on the wrong side of the fence. As I was calling to him and enjoying natures finest, another hen suprised me and turned away in a dead run. All in all what an awesome day hunting.

Garry — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 17:11:18 GMT

Yep! That's exactly it! Small world when you're getting dooped by turkeys:)

RE: Turkey Season!

Cracker11 — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 15:48:30 GMT

You know that is totaly possable, I do hunt North of Cemetary,and I do remember talking to a Father/Son team walking North toward the foot-bridge........I think we made coment about the Deer Track`s in my Boot Track`s that I just made an hour before.......Very Possable :cool:

RE: Turkey Season!

Garry — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 11:12:26 GMT

Cracker11,

My dad and I hunted Bull Creek for the past three years and I do believe we have talked to you before...... We hunted down cemetary road by the first couple fire breaks. I took one off of a cypress near the fence line. I'm not sure if it was you we talked to, but the man was hunting with a bow walking down the road.... maybe???

RE: Turkey Season!

Cracker11 — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 00:52:36 GMT

Wow........Never thought of So-Co....that would give that bird some Teeth ;)

Sounds Great !

RE: Turkey Season!

St. Sophie Girl — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 19:18:58 GMT

0o0o0o yea Cracker... Mmmm that was good... maybe I'll add a lil SoCo too... :D:D:D

RE: Turkey Season!

Cracker11 — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:37:15 GMT

Cool........I live in the Orlando area......Hunt out at Bull Creek WMA,but don`t mind going anywhere in the State. I`m no Expert with the Bow,done alot of hunting up in Ga. with the Gun`s,but fell in love with Bow-Hunting with my First Close Quarters Hunt ;).........No more busting one off from across the Field for me.........but getting close,brings differant frustrations,Passing on Small Deer,Passing on Hog`s that are too big,the total Muffed Shot,long hikes to get away from Crowd`s,Wind`s that change every ten minutes......but when all the planets line up,and something steps into that magical 50'.....Pure Heaven,no matter the Out-Come :D

Lets go fill some freezer`s :D

PS......Sophie, Deep Fried.......Injected with Hawaiian Marenade,then covered with " Stubbs " Spice Rub is how we did those bird`s at KARZ Park ;)

RE: Turkey Season!

Garry — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:56:45 GMT

Yea.. I love bow hunting! But very inexperienced... I only have a couple deer under my belt...

Where are you located?: We should get together sometime.

RE: Turkey Season!

Cracker11 — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 03:10:00 GMT

Man,is it that time again,been so busy lately that I just Spaced It:blush:....Guess I`d better drag the Bow out today,and blow off the Dust :w00t:

Very Sweet looking Bird Garry :D........Didn`t know you were a Hunter,Do you do any Bow-Hunting ?

I`ve been chasing the Bird`s on Public Land for several years now,been very close several times,only to have someone walk through my set-up and blow my Morning..........but thats Public Land....and dropping a bird with my Bow would be sweeeet ,but just being close enough to see a mess of Tall Bird`s like that comming through woods is a treat for me.

Holler if you want to go out in the wood`s sometime :D
