Glad to see the researcher has backed off on pushing the DGT (Dominant Gobbler Theory).

Florida FWC Proposes Step to Curtail/Capitalize on Non-Resident WMA Hunters

One thing Florida FWC does that I really like is sends out e-mails/surveys where you can comment on proposed changes. I'm going through them now here is one of the items proposed: https://i.imgur.com/x3HdHQS.png Currently, a non-resident only needs a ~$27 WMA permit to apply for quota hunts. If this...

And that is the difference. And some of them have likely already secured permission in the past.

Re: Vermont Turkey Trip Success

The moral of this story is that if the land is not posted you should hunt that bird, because if you wait on a call back the next guy coming down that road is going to kill him. And that is how you wind up with a ton more posted ground. All the new traveling pressure to the northeast is doing a grea...

Re: M.O. Mr. Fox Vest

I’m holding out for when the Fox Trot vest comes out. I hope it at least has a bologna sandwich specific pocket. I have a hard time cramming a square sandwich into an over abundance of pot call pockets. :roll: Here you go... Definitely the funniest thing I've saw on the internet today.

Re: Vests

The original Tactical Tatr' 2. Wore the first one out in 3-4 seasons and sent it back to Cabelas and they sent me the newer version for free. This will be my 6th(?) spring with it and probably the last. Then time find a new one since they quit making these.

Re: New England states May '23

A lot more land is being posted up there these days. It’s not as easy as some let on. Being posted because all the YouTube videos and everyone blabbing their mouth about it on social media. Its ALWAYS best to ask permission first, even if it is not posted. You WILL get turned down to hunt unposted ...

Re: What's your best gobbler to date?

Jealous of all these 1.5" spurs.

Best bird in one, probably my first turkey taken in Mississippi: 10.25" beard, 1.25" and 1.3125" spurs, 23lbs.
Heaviest: Iowa - 24.25lbs
Longest spurs: Nebraska: 1 3/8"
Total beard length: Idaho = 4 beards for a total of 24"

They are fired up when the season opens.

Florida Fish and Wildlife has a good spring turkey hunting guide that shows what public lands are open for hunting at the following link:
