With ya on that one bud... Was a dream turned reality when could finally hunt those frosty oct/nob mornings , likely won't be down there permanently again , cause my hunting lifestyle now having experienced northern seasons , I'll be back ... To us down here instead of hearing leaves crunch its footsteps in the water. Same racing heart beat though ...

That's what I loved about up here is I could kill a doe at will any time I wanted , so if it wasn't looking good that year for a buck I could still get meet ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends on the zone down there .... Southern zone 2 combined all seasons with doe's only legal last week of archery ... Central zone can kill 4 but same limited doe harvest to archery... Bullshit cause a lot of the time doe's are all you see ...

NEVER hahaha .... You thought keeping spots a secret was bad up here , my next of kin is lucky enough to know a few of my spots .... Sucks cause i have about a month to prep n make sure my spots are what they once were ... At least I don't have to wait till October haha , August 6 and its on ! Also my bday too ...

Well I know you've got some dam good land so I wouldn't be apposed to putting you on a few birds in exchange for a deer hunt .... I can always tell the " northerners" apart in the woods based on there calling lol...

So u get it ! Lol. Pain in the butt

Hmm, cost of living is surprisingly higher in FL, pays more , but costs more in my experience .... What I could get up here for 150,000 costs 300,000 + down there ...

Ya it sucks in the heat , gotta trade jackets for shorts n tank top with leafy wear ... Just have to get used to the fact that the shower n scent control you just spent time with is out the window by the time you climb up , so f it , make dam sure of the wind and just go hunt ...

Haha it can be good , but mostly sucks ... I've killed several 100+ inchers and even one 126 3/8, but weight wise they go 100 lbs to about 160 at the heaviest ...

Ya I was looking to try n find a place in the Jupiter / Stuart area cause Corbett , a 60,000 acre WMA is right there , I've killed a lot a turkeys there, deer is really tough cause it's hot , the waters usually up that time a year n always a bunch a buggy's running all over , which ya pretty much need one to get back to the good areas of the beaten path ... Hydro locked my last truck in a nice hole before moving up here... But that's really the start of the decent wma's in my opinion , the good one's with some deer dam near close to what we get up here are in central FL as ATbuckhunter mentioned , but the panther problem is getting outa control eating up all the hogs n deer... Hopefully there will be a panther season soon cause that would be one hell of a mount of a lifetime of one of the former protected/ endangered list members ... So now instead of a 30 min drive I'm looking at 1.5 hours to any decent areas. I'll make some posts during the season on what it takes to kill a deer in FL , you guys have it easy up here , ya really do haha ..

Haha , awesome ... There truly has been a new generation born without regard to actual birth date... The butt hurt PC generation .... Sickens me!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well thanks grampy , as long as you love it n put your time in u'll be good at it [emoji6]

I'll still post in "live from the woods" as belo did when he was down south , with the disclaimer of FL hunter , think ya'll will enjoy my tails of running into gators , snakes, and most of all nasty boars on the morning walks in ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya mixed feelings going back ... Things to look forward to: beer drinking swamp buggy rides , beer drinking airboat rides out to camp, dirt road sunset drives to the camp fire... Things to miss .... Low public land hunting pressure , fall , leaf color change sunset sits in the stand , seeing fresh tracks in the snow on the way to the stand , and skiing !

Thanks for your help with the pics I the past man , good luck this year!

Will do , gotta show off my southern skills now lol.... Would like to move back some day , so I'll keep tabs on all you NE sob's ...

Thanks man , can't wait to see the next toad you put down stalking in the snow ... Good luck n God bless

Haha thanks man , gonna miss the fall color change the most and skiing .... I'll be pullin for ya next turkey season , but don't be too butt hurt when I post my osceolas on here lol... Be well man !

Here kitty kitty...

Little taste of my view below my stand opening day of bow before I moved up here ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes some "big" FL deer in Osceola county , originally from FL n have a camp in the Everglades accessible only by airboat or ATV during really dry spells so have quite a few gators under my belt , fishing sounds good though , always open to new spots

Back to south Florida , hunting in palm beach gardens up to Osceola county ... Tough with all the swamp buggy's running around , gators , snakes , and now the increasing FL panther over pop.! Gonna have to start carrying the pistola during bow !

Well I was about to start my summer scouting and put out trail cams when I had to make a tough decision to move back to FL. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here and had some great hunting adventures along the way! I've enjoyed the forum despite all the useless banter and more political BS than I'd like to see on a "HUNTING" site , but I digress ... I've made some friends and some enemies , but for the most part enjoyed " live from the woods " the most .... I'll still tube in to see how everyone's season is going for those of you who I give a f about .... And even though I'm not in NY any longer I'll keep ya posted o how the hot a$$ FL season is going .... A little taste of my time here in western NY to follow .... http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/7541ed779cfc65e5b85471307a0f9c5b.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/b613d48057c9cc7ceb0ffaa0314abfca.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/29c008ae54e386b080fa96a0407ca884.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/b029ea22d304581c19554ab8462ea026.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/a9ae8cfe54087e25bf07fad67f359ba0.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/53c3f5babd92d655b484bc97c6a40a8c.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/0b17439a4e43f920fde5ba2c1bac337d.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/b594679873a8e3eaf9ef81462efbd315.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/ca2c0eeba1058fdadd46c91bee1da5f6.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/0b5baee47a33633a8b6a080bd22b2901.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/0d52b1b9fa992c44418c51c0c96217d0.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/455fbc9a2da6a88cccce269624f42a29.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/c1331d126f7f70aac9cd1fdcd48cdbda.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/860df075ce3682accca63cc10f90b924.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/f60ed546f7becddb2e2205d689ed2deb.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/2049fb2fbd324074a44cbc4d66244afd.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160620/4901bf0f15e14b3d18770e0d6f8f2fd6.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
