You are killing me Jim!!! I can't wait until next year! I can tell you Jim is a fine fella and will put you on game :campfire:
Thanks Mike. Looking forward to our hunt.
Jim, Irv, are those guided hunts or do it yourself hunts on managed properties ?
ChuckC
ChuckC, they are guided hunts, or as guided as you want them to be. For instance, a lot of guys want to do there own calling,etc.
We have large pop-up blinds set up in good spots where we've personally seen toms and hens(those can be relocated as needed). We have different decoy styles or you may use your own.Thanks.
Scott look into what Osceola hunts cost down there...he's half priced! It is a unique species, one that many of us jump out if our skin to hunt. I doubt he will have trouble moving those hunts on the open market but instead tries to keep his clients here on Tradgang. Better than fair market in my opinion...
By the way, land here is 5000 an acre and I bet I could get 5k from a lot of people to hunt whitetails here in Illinois.
Thanks for the response Tarponnut,
I guess I won't be buying any land in S. Fl. anytime soon:)
Wishing you and your hunters a safe and successful season.
Scott
oh how i wish....
someday.
Jim & Irv's got some great property, with a lot of birds on them. I'm a turkey guy, Id pay that for an Osceola in a heart beat, and I have!! I wouldn't pay that for an Eastern. You not going to kill an Osceola anywhere else. I'll be down there again, probably not this year, but hopefully next.
That is an incredibly reasonable price for a trespass Osceola hunt, much less a guided one. I am OUT of vacation time or would be on the way :(
Lucky guy who snags this hunt. I know enough guys that have been to know it is a great opportunity. Of course you could play the Florida turkey lottery and hunt am over pressured WMA. It would be a lot cheaper... :knothead:
That's an amazingly generous offer, giving the going rate most other places. I've hunted family property in the Palatka area. There are a few hunting properties in the area and you'll pay way more to hunt them.
What are the dates? Im interested....
Pm sent Steve. Thanks guys.
If I was not bringing the family down for an early March hog hunt/family vacation I would be going after turkeys again.
See you in a month and a half Jim.
If things work out, hopefully turkeys again in 2015.
I recommend Jim and Irv 100%.
I just got this thread cleaned up.....please, let's keep this one going in the right direction from now on!
It's simple, if you're not interested in this great opportunity.....then don't respond negatively about it.
And thank you to the guys that did as best they could to keep this thread going :notworthy:
Thank you Curt, for your clean-up of the thread and your sensible comments.
Everyone has a budget...we know that. It' s like a wise man once told me when I was a kid. I commented that I thought his car was "too expensive".
He replied..." maybe it's not too expensive...maybe it's that you can't afford it".
As I continued on my paper route that day, I thought about what he said and it made perfect sense.
Opinions on costs aside...I can promise we will try our best to provide you a great experience.
Many thanks to our existing clients who help bear this out.
Hey gang...missed all of the previous cleaned up posts, but I assume they were in regards to the hunting rates for Osceola turkeys. Having hunted with Jim and Irv last season, as well as w/two other outfitters in previous seasons, I can say that Jim and Irv's hunts are genuinely 1/2 the cost of the previous two (one of which never even presented me w/a single shot opportunity)! Addn., I was fortunate enough to kill my biggest bird ever of the 20+ birds I've taken with trad equip., at True South Adv. That made the price of admission worth every single penny :) PS: I'll be back with TSAs in March to chase birds as it's the best value and best hunt I've found in Florida.
Hey Kent, great to see you post. How are you going to top last year?? I wish I could be down there with you again this year. good luck!! Keep us posted.
Ive hunted hogs with Jim and Irv . They are good people.
Thanks Curt.
:campfire:
Irv and I had some hog hunters in camp this past weekend, I heard at least three toms gobbling. As I headed back to the gate to meet one of the hunters, I spotted a flock with a couple really nice gobblers! The big tom was really strutting his stuff for the ladies.
We still have two openings left for turkeys this season. The birds are unpressured, and we ONLY bow hunt them. Season opens March 15 and closes April 20th. We offer a three day turkey hunt for $1100. our Turkey, Hog, and bowfishing combo is $1200.
We also still have spots for hog hunters. It was 50 degrees this morning and reached 75 sunny degrees. Why not come south for some fun!
Here is the clip of the turkeys.

Dad and I are on our way down to hunt hogs with Jim and Irv again, I've never hunted turkey's with TSA, but see them on every hog hunt....
Oh, I really want to get after those Osceolas!
Bill

We still have April 4 through April 20th open.
That means no one hunting turkeys from March 29th until the end of the spring season.(no pressure on the birds).
Last year, the toms were very active and vocal in April.
Give us a call or pm for more info.
I'm dying here Jim!! My fiancé is down there now with her father. I really wish I could make it down......who knows what April may bring!!!
Dad ran into a turkey yesterday and I've seen lots of fresh sign...
The swamp chickens are gobbling like crazy this morning, Dads got some in front of him as I type....
Man, what a deal! Not in the cards for me this spring, but I sure hope to do this one eventually.
Someone is in for a great hunt!
Torment!!!! That's what this thread is...sheer torment!!!! I'll have to live this hunt throught Kent Zocher
That's funny Sean
Lol!! Sean, I'll try to get it all on video for you, brother! It'll almost be like you're right there ;) Or, you could get your behind down there, call in a few longbeards for us, then shoot some hogs, gar and tilapia!!!
Hey Kent, it's great to see you on here!! This is killing me!! I actually have the green light from my better half to meet you down there but I'll be at PBS banquet that weekend!! I can't make it to Maine this year either, Jill's wearing that one on her finger!! ;)
You are preaching to the choir, my friend! :) It won't be the same w/out you in camp this year, but I will be looking forward to our next adventure! PS: Things are obviously popping early this year, in Florida, and I hope I don't miss the peak of rut?? Lord knows, I can't "sweet talk" 'em in like you can, Sean ;) Looking forward to some more great hunting tales from the Langer gang!!
Watched a big old tom out strutting in the early morning fog today.....the ruts coming......
Jim's gotta really nice place....can't go wrong givin it a try....
Now that gets my blood pumping, Bill!! Be there in exactly 4 weeks from tomorrow and it can't come soon enough!!
Hey Kent, what set up are you using this time?
My bow set up or my deke/blind set up, Sean?? If my new Widow arrives soon, I'll be shooting that bad boy ! (Toby told me, just last week, that it's almost done and that it's SO beautiful that i'll be buying a plane ticket just to fly down to Nixa and kiss him!!) Lol!! Also, I'd love to fly down w/my stuffer decoy, maybe as my carry on ?? Gotta try the ugly, skinny jake again, also :)
Get em kent!!!!!
Yes, your bow set up....NEW WIDOW???? not to hijack Jims thread, but what'd you order?? I wouldn't mind flying down to Nixa, but that'd have to be one heck of a beauty of a bow for me to pucker up to Ole Tobe!! What'd you order?? PLX??
Lmao!! Let's steal it anyhow and talk about my bow!! ;) 58" PSAX Cocobolo/Yew...but not just any yew, you'll freak out! Pucker up!
