[STUMP THUMPER]

I just put a bid in on a property in Astor,Fl
Are there and archery shops and courses in this area. Property has a lot of deer sign and snakes!
Bordres Ocala National Forest. How is the hunting in this area?
Thanks for your response.

Don't know about Astor.  I'm 180 miles south of you and have deer, turkey, hog, bear, bobcat, coyote, panther, snakes and alligators on the property I hunt. LOTS of mosquitoes too.

MY brother loves coming down from the Poconos to hunt and warm up.   Not sure what your personal feelings are but down here there is a saying.. "Corn it and they will come."

Deer season this year opens July 30 2011.  This will mean hunting in 90-105 degrees. think tee shirt, shorts, bug suit and thermocell and lots of water.

Good luck

I hunted a couple of the WMA's back in the early 90's and they were pretty good but I hear they are crowded now. I was told the quoto hunts are the way to go and of course to try to get on a private lease.
