Florida's season will wrap up this Sunday.  I hope all that harvested did check in their birds.  Be nice to know how many are actually killed.  The previous totals were no more than a wild guess.  Good luck to those hunting this weekend.  In our area they finally started gobbling last week.  My alarm set for 3:30am.  One down one to go. :OGturkeyhead:

I will be giving it a hard try. I've been really struggling this year from super dry conditions, having other people walk-in or drive in on me, and less than normal vocal birds. Then making bad decisions and being more aggressive to the one and only gobbling bird I found. Really has me considering buying a Ga license to extend my season out a touch to see if I can redeem myself. Good luck to everyone giving it one last shot!

Good luck and hope they keep up the early morning noise!

And for Hunter85 - good choice on extending your season and for other game as well!!

That 3 AM alarm catches up with all of us sooner or later.
It's nice to get a bird or two but in the end its about the memories we make along the way.
For me..... Every year is a good year, just some are better than others!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, tired, beat, thoroughly used up and totally worn out from chasing turkeys and loudly proclaiming; "WOW -- What a Ride!"

Yes.  In the old days I would have gone to Church Saturday evening so I could be out there this morning.  Alarms going off at 3am two days in a row are no longer an option.  LOL.
Granddaughter had me up this morning at 6 to make pancakes and I thought that was early. I know what you mean. lol

you must be in my area. That's what I do, I have a lease in Ga and hit some of the public land. In Florida I hunt Osceola WMA. I live 5 minutes from 4 Creeks, but it's a quota permit only.

I am south of you in central Florida. Yesterday's hunt resulted in nothing for me did drive up on two hens in the middle of one of the main grades acting weird running back and forth across the road, once I got close I could tell what they were doing trying to round up like 20+ Poults. Ga will be nothing but public land hunting.
