Mine was a complete bust. Military duties kept me out of the field for the entire season. And, that's especially bad since I can hunt as a resident in Colorado, Virginia and Florida. didn't get to hunt a single day in any of them. That doesn't happen often, but when it does it really gets depressing.

most of my hunting was done in by torn acl nov 20 pulling a hog outta the woods on private property near wauchula. so nothing but the 1 hog. now that i am recovered i am focusing on wmas, and teaching myself how to use my new cva ml. looking to expand my hunting to muzzleloading season, maybe helping and learning some gator hunting, and more birds than just turkeys. Ducks, geese, dove, and quail seem like fun but i have no dog for retrieving.
After 71 days of hunting all I got was 4 hogs, 1 rabbit and a I lost count of the squirrels (yes, I’m crazy about squirrel hunting with my youngest son and my daughter). All hogs from the Green Swamp. Met like 20-30 hunters and make friends with them, so that was a plus. I'll be hunting with some of them this coming season which is why I hunt, the friendship and relationships you build with good people that enjoy hunting, outdoors, guns and good times. A very successful season indeed.
I hardly deer hunted, shot one during ML but never recovered. Caught a pile of hogs though, not really sure how many...about half were killed and half were caught and tied and put in a pen. Still never got motivated to chase thunder chickens....
I had hoped this would be the season I could get back in to hunting, even paid a good chunk of money to join a lease. But :crap: happens and the lease wasn't what it was made out to be, and so I learned a lesson there. I've been drawn for a hog hunt for January, and hope to get into a couple of WMAs in the off-season for some scouting, as much as work and gas prices will allow!
