Where’s all the sign? Oh it’s next to that stand over there, and that other stand there. I must have passed a dozen stands today, I walked a good 13 miles in total. I checked 3 separate areas only one of which didn’t have any stands hanging already. This area is on the backside of a cypress swamp that surrounds a flag pond with tall Florida grass and short palmettos. It really seems to funnel into it. With much joy I trekked into it, found quite a large cotton mouth and a few trails. Nothing that looked super beat down, but I’ll keep my hopes up. It was my last day out before the season opens. Y’all hunt the area hard and push em into that swamp for me! Haha

Reach out to pinman, he can tell you where not to go. On second thought, maybe go exactly where he says not to go? I’m starting to think he may just have a strange odor about him…. Or something.

THIS. True dat bout the odor....I only recently found out me using Irish Spring soap MIGHT be an issue.... I sweat ALOT too, I think I inherited my Moms Kentucky blood. Between those 2, Im sure I leave scent everywhere. LMK where you want Deer pushed out of and Ill hunt it! Edit; It'll cost ya a backstrap though....

How is that wma?

Cross at Mizell. Hunt the other side of the creek.
I used to wear them out at B Creek in the 80s.

How is that wma? The roads are pretty good and not that many you can drive. You either going to do a lot of walking or riding to get away from people. The rut there is late Jan/Early Feb and they do kill some nice ones out there it just gets hunted really hard.
