First time going. Not really sure what to expect. I actually got invited today on one of the fb turkey hunting groups. Bringing my 13yo son who is interested in all things hunting and fishing and has no use for video games. I introduced him to hunting last fall (of '24), he killed his first deer in December, and he's got the fever bad! lol It'll be a good long road trip for us, and I have high hopes for a great event! the struggle has been real hunting public land, but we are on a quest to bag one of each species and fill up on memories!

Better to have it and not need it then having to need it and not have it 😂

Doe in estrous for boots, or fox pee cover. I will I was tracked by a yote one spring in Sopchoppy

Every season, “ seem sealer” on every stitch.

I had the same problem with Rocky boots. I got some Barge cement off Amazon, it's supposed to be for gluing soles on shoes. It worked realy good on th boots and any other shoe that the sole come odf of. Also I used Camp Dry to spray the uppers. It smells to but not real bad. Hope this helps someone else

Boy i miss fishing lake fay

I have never come across any boot with a zipper that is actually water proof

Go buy some good boots i.e. Russell Moccasin.

Try Shoe Goo next time bud. Will glue the sole back on and remains flexible.

Someone definitely likes to walk A LOT!😂😂😂😂😂

What type of stand do you use ? Ladder stand? Hang on stand?

Spring Gobbler season is coming. I hope to see you at the Wild Turkey Extravaganza in Webster Fl. Feb.1 2025

I looked them up model 7 vs the model 600 mohawk it said the model 7 was lighter and shorter barrel....but my sons model 600 mohawk has a very short barrel but gun is heavy for being so short actually more heavy than my model 700...

Thanks for sharing the rifle...one of my dads friend gifted my son a remington model 600 mohawk .243 he is 6 years old you met him last year at the Turkey Extravaganza....yiu gifted him one of your deer track molds he keeps it in his room...but the two rifles look very similar....I have never heard of a model 7? Thanks again for sharing

Great event! Always look forward to it every year. 👍🏻

Hope to see you there Mr. Updike

Do you have any idea on where I can find the exact layout of Ocala Forest, as in like the sections of it? I've just started to get into hunting and its been hard for me to find a good map with a layout of all the sections. Thanks and amazing video

Deer season was rough this year I didn’t see as many deer this year as I have in seasons past will also be the first year I didn’t harvest a deer seems like we are getting more and more crowded every year but all we can do is keep hunting and hope for the opportunity to present itself

Sure bet it’s night time activity! I get that all the time. Keep on keepin on brother!!!

That was a highway about 7-8 minutes in!

I hunt in Ocala two times the first time was on the Arches season the second time was the general g season and I was very disappointed because was dog every were I going and was a desastre because we can see anything because the dogs hunting from the entrance to hw 40 and we camped and spending 4 Looking for a place to hunt were is not dogs impossible please let me know were to single hunt from the tree stand like you did thank you

Thanks for the tips.

Grow roots on your a$$ 😆 🤣 😂

Is that gun a remington model 600? I have one reason I ask looks very similar

I have already started scouting for 25/26 season. Thanks for sharing your hunt!

I can't wait for next season, man! I just can't get enough of this outdoor adventure.........

Saw a bear crossin' the road here a while back when I hit the woods during archery season after doing some target shooting @ the range there - it was my first time to see a wild bear...

Considering purchasing a buggy for gear and potential harvest. How do you go about concealing your buggy while in the stand?

Peter, what’s your tips for finding spring turkeys in the pipeline unit?

I miss Ocala i been thinking to get back out there one day but i hunt the swamp it's only about 25 minutes from my house Ocala is probably now a days traffic hour and a half away but i always hunted north of 40

Thank you so much for these tips! All were/are very helpful and useful to me, much appreciated!

I am the guy that commented about the lack of climbable trees. Really enjoy your videos. So much so that I just got back into hunting two weeks ago after retiring here in Florida 6 years ago. That is why I only had 2 hunts under my belt. Went again today small game hunting and picked 2 areas to scout. One was incredibly thick full of scrub oaks, palmettos, and 10 foot high scrubs. The other location has a lot of potential. I found some good spots but have to figure a way around a ladder stand set up just off the trail in. I'll be going back to scout other areas quite a bit in the next few months b4 it warms up. Fortunately I am exempt from permits other than those with no exceptions so I have access. Appreciate the tip in this video. Prior, I would shy away from those pencil thin pine stands. Now I am going to go in and try to find a climbable tree.

I love the Ocala Forest. So sorry the season there is over, but now on to the Green Swamp......

Another great video, thanks brother. God Bless

I went to SW GA on the 26th and got hammered by that front, but it was nice afterwards. Unfortunately noting was moving...

Hunted Pipeline area twice this year. Very thick woods and hard to find a pine tree I can climb. Too thin. Looking at Google Earth and using the sliding year scale, it reveals that just about every section gets clearcutted within a 25 year period. Makes for good deer habitat but tough hunting. Not complaining though. I am blessed. I will spend some time out there during small game season looking for areas that are slightly more open with trees mature enough to safely climb. Got to be out there somewhere.

Sometimes the best hunts are with no harvest!

Hi Peter, This spring will be my Son and I’s first spring Turkey hunt in the ONF. We drew tags for the pipeline unit. Any recommendations of what habitat to start scouting first? We currently plan to hunt the area of 42.

Thank you

First time going to Green Swamp on the 4th for Deer. East due to West being only specialty hunts from what im told. Any hints on good locations there?

I had the hunt back late October early November - wasn't as good as I've experienced in the past. As of that hunt only 3 deer were checked out. One was a whopper 8 point. Saw lots of coyotes! Nothing checked out by the 3rd day afternoon...... ☹

Public land hunting in Florida is probably the most challenging in America, mainly because of hunting pressure. It's even worse during spring gobbler season, when guys are walking around, getting in each other's way and rushing toward any bird who dares to make a sound. I'm glad you're sharing the reality of hunting Florida's WMA's. I'm gonna buy extra lottery tickets in the hope that someday I can afford to hunt private land before I pass away.

Ran into that alot in Rocksprings we always marked our spots but sometimes it didn't matter but thats the way it goes sometimes unfortunately

Big shot by buck shot most comfortable climber made you can set either way facing tree or back to tree Im a big guy and you can sit all day on them check them out theybare pricey but worth the money ive have mone for over 20 years

My sentiments as well. Hunt safe and have a Merry Christmas!

Thanks Peter, nothing easy out there. We both know it. Just like you said, get to know your local wma.

Like you said Peter I don’t think you could have picked a better spot! Nice footage of the armadillo and beautiful Florida woods. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thanks for the videos!! Jay

Hopefully richloam will be better for you. I have a camp ground on baylake camp . Normally I get a hog or deer. Even with dogs running around.

That’s insane. I can’t claim spots! Those guys should have let u have it. That’s why those special op hunts are wild.

Damn. 4 in one side? I wouldn’t even waste my time unless I had camera pics of some already. Good luck.
