    Worth looking at this.......

    This is a article from the Univ. of Florida Forest Stewardship Newsletter. http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/Extension/FFSnl/ffsnl182.pdf I know we talk coyotes on here a lot but I don't know if we in the Southeast understand how IMPORTANT it may actually be for us to work on them. Could be that just...

    Who knew they did this.......

    So we went out to the woods yesterday ( Palatka, Fl. ) to check the game cams, ride the fence and put up some posted signs. In one area where I stoped the truck to check a spot where the brother in law had tossed some corn, Louann said that instead of going to look at the corn she was going to...

    Explain this.............

    So Louann and I have been seeing a lot of coyote sign on this road so we set up a camera on it. First night the cat shows up and is caught sniffing what I assume is a pile of.....well we did not notice the pile when we set up the camera but it may have been there. And then 3 nights later we...

    Some folks love wild hog for lunch.........

    Now I know many here have a low opinion of the wild hog as a game animal. But IMHO as table fare it is hard to beat. In fact based on what Louann and I saw while turkey hunting today I'd wager if a vote was taken among some of America's most discriminating eaters the wild hog would win over...

    How do I know if this is true??

    Over the last 4 months we've seen 5 coyotes during the day and a lot of tracks/scat on the roads. We spend a lot of time in the woods so this is not to say we see one every time we go......even though we see tracks and scat every time. But this is NE Florida, the woods are thick and unless the...

    Ruger Mini 14 580...........??

    Is the information I see on the web correct in that with the 580 model much of the accuracy problem has been cured? Need a truck gun for shooting at the to numerious coyotes we have on a piece of timberland here in FL.

    What to make of this......?

    The pictures below ( Yes I know they are not so good. ) are of a tree, a BIG tree, next to a creek near Palatka, Fl. As you can see, hopefully, a bear has hit all sides of it with his claws. Scratched off a lot of bark......easily over 6 feet up. The last picture is of a spot, about 30 yards...

    Shoot them closer to the road.........

    On Tuesday afternoon Louann dropped me off on one end of a swamp bordered and then she drove about 3/4 mile down towards where the swamp hit a cross road and parked the truck. The wind was such that if I went east and she went west from where she parked the truck we would both be working across...

    Hogs & oranges.....update.....

    So we went back for the THIRD time in over a week to see if the hogs have had at the oranges. And for the third time the darn things have been right next to them and not touched them.....?? As you can see in the picture there is a place where a big one wallows in the sand not a few feet...

    Will they eat oranges.......??

    Let me preface this with the fact that the hog we have out in yard will not eat oranges unless we crush them and then only if he has nothing else. Could be that he is spoiled..... Here is the question. Spread some oranges out in the woods the other day in the hopes that they would interest...

    By Kate Howard A Jacksonville hunter and his dog were shot this morning by another hunter who mistook the dog for a deer, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission. This was in the news for St. Augustine, Fl. today. Not a lot of information. I looked about the web for more but...

    Hunting partner is not too smart!!!!

    Was out looking about the woods yeaterday and decided to cut a bit of wood on the edge of a chop. Lots of little oaks laying about so it was easy cutting......and no splitting later! So while I'm using the saw Louann is wandering down the edge of the chop maybe a hundred yards away checking the...

    Deer tongue.......the herb.....

    If you have it in your area try it as a cover scent. The geeen leaves have no scent but once they dry they get very pungent. In fact it's often that as we drive through the woods, on dry days, we smell it from the truck. Smells much like vanilla........except stronger. You can either gather...

    Where did the ears go...........????

    Don't make fun of the picture.........Louann was in a hurry.....and I'm old. Do pay attention to the ears on HER!!! Yes I said HER. Know all about trimming boars ears to mark ones that have been cut but I can't figure this sow out. She was in prime shape. And where the ears were looked the...

    The next bar-b-q hits the ground......

    Not all that big a pig......which worked out as I did not have to go find her and help her drag it out of the swamp. Split up at about 4 this afternoon after arguing about whether the little bit of rain we had last night had made it quiet enough to stalk in the swamp and whether the wind was...
