-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a kind of long story that explains why Louann is in the water.......mostly revolving around a old back, a block & tackle, a locked hatch, and a forgotten key. And yes, there was a spare key in the...

This is a article from the Univ. of Florida Forest Stewardship Newsletter. http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/Extension/FFSnl/ffsnl182.pdf I know we talk coyotes on here a lot but I don't know if we in the Southeast understand how IMPORTANT it may actually be for us to work on them. Could be that...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So we went out to the woods yesterday ( Palatka, Fl. ) to check the game cams, ride the fence and put up some posted signs. In one area where I stoped the truck to check a spot where the brother in law had tossed...

Friend took these yesterday at the edge of Payne's Prairie.....Gainesville, Fl.

Anyone with experence or insight about the hunt insurance offered by the Quality Deer Management folks....?? Link is below: http://www.qdma.com/hunt-club-insurance/

Yes I know they can get way out of hand and do great damage. That said if we could just get a few more folks to focus on something other than horns we might keep the hogs under control...... Brother in law shot this one on Friday evening. The first picture is about sunrise on Sunday. You can...

So we finally got around to working on a couple of gator heads from last season. Last time we did this we followed a friends instructions explicitly. Head turned out perfect. Nice and uniform white with little or no separation of bone plates and only a tooth or two that had to be reattached...

Dirt bag ruined a perfectly good morning in the woods. And wasted the resource......intentionally!!! I'll try and keep this short.............. About 10 this morning came upon a hog laying in the swamp. First thought is that he's resting. Get a little closer and realize that he's resting...

So we went to the woods this afternoon. Parked the truck in a place she chose and I went one way and she went the other. This was at about 3:45. Plan was to take advantage of the wet woods and still hunt hogs till dark. Over on my side there is nothing to be seen. A little before dark I start...

The following came from the Florida FWC Law Enforcement Weekly Action Report. Happened in Escambia County, near Pensacola. Might want to avoid that area as there's something in the water that can make you stupid. ============================================== Lieutenant Dan Hahr was checking...

Not as big as the one Louann dove in on but no slouch. 12' 9" and a solid 600+ pounds. Caught him not but 3 or 4 hundred yards from where we caught the one I posted with the missing tail. While this one is longer, thanks to the tail being there, the other one was a little heavier. Hung him...

This one is missing a good piece of his tail, as you can see by the hand next to it. Even with about a foot of tail missing he's well over 12 feet and a easy 650#. Not quite as big as the last one but still very good. Would have been 13+ with the tail. Snagged him early but had a lot of...

Caught this guy yesterday morning, just me and the misses. He was 13' 4", as measured by Tony's Taxedermy who is now the proud owner of it. He wanted it to mount and sell......and to tell you the truth I was glad not to have to clean that beast. Moving them about when they are that big while...

The question involves PUBLIC land and semi-permanent tree stands. ( Ladders and the like that are left in place most if not all season.) First off I will say that my general response to seeing one is to avoid the area it's in. That seems the best course of action most of the time. And as we use...

Catching these things is why we don't bow hunt any more. Here in NE FL the seasons coinside so we've got to chose and for the last dozen years the gators have won. I'll admit it's kind of frustrating to see the brother in law getting the bow ready and to know he's getting a leg up but that's all...

Caught this guy at about dawn today. He's 12'5" and if we did the math as we cleaned him correctly he's pushing 500#. Just his head, with the tongue and jowls removed, weighs 44 pounds. Last picture just finished scrubbing his nasty self off with bleach and soap before we haul him in...

Not a giant but more than acceptable, especially considering how tough the hunting was. For whatever reason the gators were very inactive on Saturday night. While we saw quite a few not very many of them were of any size and even fewer were leaving the thick stuff to forage in more open parts of...
