Florida in six weeks

[perrysbirds]

I'm headed to Florida in six weeks time to try fora Florida bird.
This Canadian boy has never been to Florida in my life...
I am sooooooo pumped....
Never have I seen a gator in my life either...
So I'm pretty excited to tell ya the truth....
Kill a Florida bird and then next year I will try to figure out a place in Texas to finish the slam. 
It's getting close to the most wonderful time for a hunter

Hope you have a great time and the birds gobble their heads off. I'm in north central florida and the season can't get here fast enough.

I am one mile north of the Fla line and it was low 70's and should be that way except for one day in the upper 70's later this week. I am thinking that they will start sounding off by next week for sure.Hope you have a great time.


One bird that you will probably see plenty of is the Snow Bird. They are thick around the beach areas right now and stay until spring training is over.

I'm pumped....

If you are driving I believe it is also around lovebug season. Be ready to "wash" you vehicle daily! I was not prepared
for them!

Good luck, we are heading to Florida too around the 13th or 14th. I'm looking forward to the trip . The only things worrying me are mosquitoes and cotton mouths.
