Well another duck season has come and gone

dani,

I don't think you'll find many/any woodcock in that palmetto flat. I just figured them out this year, I think probably 90% of hunting them is being able to pick out their habitat. You should be able to look at a place and either say there is one here, or nope they won't be here. I shot a limit monday for the end of the season. I can pm you what to look for. I have a question as to whether you ever been on a particular WMA down there. PM headed your way.
 
Dani,

Great write up, sounds like you had a hell of a year. Congrats.

When I see your posts, I always look for Lee's "Blue eye'd Teal" that he sent you. I always liked that one. I am also a bit saddened when I do, because that Teal is what finally got me to contact Lee for the first time, a bit of a friendship developed, and we were contemplating doing a decoy swap just before he got ill....so that never happened. I just smile when I see your's and think of Lee and how much he added to this site. I am soooo glad Steve found it, but equally glad that you still hunt it.

Take care.
 
Matt- you should've seen the looks I got when I first started hunting....I had me a PIMP MOBILE (1981 Ford Crown Vic LTD) with a canoe strapped on top...lots of laughs.....probably a lot like the looks of you pulling in with your impala...but it worked....

Wiz- not really sure what's "next" persay.....but there are thoughts in motion for hunting Montana, ND, SD or possibly MO for upland game in October. I'd love to get back out west to chase chukar but for my upland trip it's gonna be one or the other unless i win the lotto. But turkey season is first and I've got some turkeys to pin down and chase...I'm certainly keeping my options open though

Andrew, one of the pluses of working hard to get to a place that is 'work' to get to and then 'work' to hunt is that it cuts down on the idjits that might set up on you. It was very nice the whole season, the closest anyone got to me was on the other side of the dike, which was close but they were gentlemanly enough to ask if it was ok if they set up there first since I was already in that area. It was certainly a low stress area as far as other hunters were concerned.

Tim- my heart just dropped when we realized the little teal was missing. We had a great hunt that morning, but it was overshadowed by the fact that somewhere my teal was sitting for anyone and everyone to see (I guess if they are looking) and I had no hopes that we'd actually find it. My day got infinitely better when Steve found the teal. I have a handful of decoys that I'm very attached to...that being one of them.

Pat- I've not seen the big snakes. My mom did call me a few years back and ask me if snakes climbed walls, which was a silly question since the snake she saw was climbing her outside wall at home. She didn't know what it was and so took a picture and sent it to me. It was about a three foot python. I'm sure that if it remained outside that it perished in the two hard winters we've had since that happened, but other than that python I've not seen or heard of any up here in N FL. I've not seen any of the big snakes down in Central FL where I do the majority of my hunting, but one of the guides down there claims to have seen a few prior to the hard winters we had a couple winters back.

Thanks for the info Kris....

Eric- Lee sure was a character wasn't he? He sure did add a lot to the site.

thanks again y'all

Dani
