No sorry I meant the name Grademan? Operator?

There's a reason Florida leads the nation in guided turkey hunt costs. I hunted public land Osceolas for three seasons before I got one. It was some of the sketchiest mess I ever saw.

The birds I found in the Ocala unit I hunted related strongly to bird feeders. Trying to get away from that put me into contact with illegal pot growers and their pit bulls.

I did see a coral snake, though.

Oh, yes sir. My family owns a grading and trucking company here in central NC.

Figured that's what it meant. Welcome from Illinois.

I hunted Ocala last year, which of the three units did you draw. It is a tough hunt due to thick vegetation, but there are turkeys.

Run&GunSC no draw
Next year I'm bringing my camper down. Probably get an EBike to get around.
