Re: Turkey Camo

Thanks everybody! I really appreciate the insight. One last question, I'm curious if I should consider getting decoys. I'm thinking I should go a few times and feel it out first, especially if I'm expecting to move around. I know decoys are relatively a new thing in turkey hunting. Anyone think it's...

Re: Ochlockonee Bay, Alligator Point, and Bald Point 2018 Fi

Can anyone enlighten me on how people approach wade fishing around the Bald Point Oyster bars? I've read about this spot a lot and I went once on a really low tide just to walk around see whats its all about. I thought at the time that it seemed like a better place to be on an incoming tide but I co...

Re: Turkey Camo

Great to know, I guess I should have been more specific about the blind. I was looking at one of the lightweight, ground blinds that is essentially a camo curtain. Just for the sake of hiding a little more movement and pulling the gun up extra stealthy.

Re: Turkey Camo

Thanks for that. Glad to know about the Thermacell. What do people think about those turkey blinds they sell? Are they worth having? I've seen a few inexpensive ones.

Turkey Camo

Going to try for spring turkeys this year, my first time turkey hunting.

For those of you with experience, do you have a favorite camo pattern for turkeys? Do you think it doesn't much matter?

Just curious what experienced hunters in the Northwest/Tallahassee area think.

Re: St. Marks

If you get into the St Marks Refuge creeks, you will limit on trout, unless my high school students have caught them all first. I did well out there a couple weeks ago. Interestingly, I found a whole school of trout where almost all of them were scratched up/gouged like something else besides mysel...

Re: Apalachicola River/ Torreya State Park

Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I only fished a little bit and didn't catch anything but I still appreciate the feedback. Probably some good fish to be caught along the river on foot but I'm not used to fishing in that strong of a current and spent the majority of my time tangled up in what I ...

Quail Hunting

Anyone on here hunt quail? particularly on public land? I'm a newbie, don't have a bird dog. I'm really intrigued though, I've never lived anywhere that offered quail hunting as a possibility until now. Talked to the state biologist a couple times recently to get his perspective. If anyone on here i...

870 barrels

I want to get an 870 barrel for duck hunting to make the most out of one gun. Does anyone know a shop in or around tallahassee that regularly stocks replacement 870 barrels? I tried a couple of the big box stores and they can order them, but they don't stock them. Any suggestions would be appreciate...

warm weather & fish patterns

Will have an opportunity to to get out this Thursday afternoon as my boss isn't keen on overtime. With the warming weather we've been having over the past few days, do you think it is enough to dictate a change in the recent inshore patterns? If so, how would you expect trout and reds to react? Or d...

Re: Oysters

I have been buying the Florida farm-raised from Publix. I used get a dozen or two for about 80 cents a piece. Maybe they would cut you a better deal on a dozen, but they have been tasty. I was impressed with the farm-raised. I usually eat them by myself since the lady doesn't like them. Aside from r...
