thats why i aint bothering with even hunting deer in florida, if i want to deer hunt, im headed back to big buck country, Ohio.....

COON SMILE, you guys are more than welcome to go hunting down at our farm, we are 15 minutes east of hillsboro, PM me for details.

 

hogs galore eh logan?

 

logan,

i sent ya a pm about ur farm and hunting!

i lived in Ocala, FL for about 6 months and i must say that the deer down there are pitiful...

the thing i found most interesting about FL was how many "rednecks" there are (i dont consider redneck an insult). its just that when most ppl think of FL they think of beaches and vacation spots. well i found out pretty quickly that is not the case. every other truck you drive past in ocala is lifted w/ big ole mud tires (not many diesels though like up here in the midwest) i think rednecks may out number the blue hair in florida

oh and the biggest bar in ocala was called midnight rodeo (country western bar w/ mechanical bull)

 

well a lot of the lifted ones in Ocala...are rich kids...now Pedro, Weirsdale, Summerfield those are good ole boys. Midnight Rodeo gets crazy every now and then. Ocala sucks though.

 

Ocala really does suck...then again i was down there on a co-op as a 19 year old that cant drink at bars and didnt know anyone but my co-workers who were all older. but i still would never move to ocala, or anywhere in florida cuz the weather blows!! (too much rain and too much heat)

 

puss......you can kill some serious hogs down here though.

 

I was supposed to go on a hog hunt when I was in FL but the deal sort of fell through. I passed my time by going to 3D bow shoots at some local gun club.

ill take my ohio weather over florida's weather any day besides, what is a winter without snow???

 

a winter of working outside and going to truck pulls in the dead of winter and wearing a flannel shirt, yeah there are alot of "rednecks", or "country" people, those tards grew up in the suburbs and they think cause their dad worked at a orange grove they are hardcore country, most have never been on anything bigger than a john deere lawn mower, and all this john deere crap they sell to these city kids just pisses me off, I HATE JOHN DEERE

NOW BACK TO WHAT I WAS SAYING, as much driving as i do here in florida, i have seen no wild animals, no hogs, deer, bear, turkey, alligator, or anything, hell in ohio the wildlife comes right up to the back porch or front yard to say hi.....

 

the only time i saw wild animals was driving from ocala to daytona beach through the ocala national forest. there were a ton of deer on the side of the rode at night

 

I don't know how often get to Sarasota but if you get off I-75 at University and go east you run right into "Lakewood Ranch". It's an area that was mostly entirely owned by the Schmidt's brewery family until they sold a bunch off for development. Go driving around back in there around dusk and you'll see plenty of hogs, deer and maybe a good sized kitty. My parents manage a mini storage down there and that property backs up to wetlands and a reserve/refuge kind of thing. There's always critters running around when .

When I was down last all the fancy people in Lakewood were all wound up because the hogs were coming in at night and rooting through the freshly laid sod for worms. A few people got up the next morning and they basically had NO lawn left. . These are 4, 5, 6 hundred thousand dollar homes too.
