Yeah, I just read all the regs and they can have it. It says your not even guaranteed a buck tag. If the buck quota is reached on day one then its hog only for day two :no . I aint paying those fees for a stinking 2 day hunt to be told sorry all you can shoot tommorow is a hog. And the resident fee is not florida its mannatee county which is also B.S. There are some great special opp hunts that offer more for less B.S.
I wouldn't waste my money on the place. I also heard that if they hit the very small quota early then it's hogs only after that. Buddy of mine hunted it once and said the quota was only a couple bucks when he went. He came out after the morning hunt for lunch and was told that's it for deer. He didn't go back. Too much public land close by that you're not paying to hunt hogs.
johnl killed some stuff out of there. not sure if he is still hunting in there or not
Rules say on gun hunts you have to wear a blaze vest and hat . And they must be visible at all times including when IN a GROUND BLIND :wacko Kinda defeats the purpose there dont it. I guess if ya tote a double bull in there you gotta cut the walls out. Just seemed a bit funny to me.
So blaze orange on a gun hunt is a bad idea? They have these rules for safety. You don't have to open the walls of the blind or cut out the windows. For blind hnters it has more to do with getting to and from your spot. You have to remember they are trying to ensure a safe hunt. From what I have seen come out of duette the orange is worth it. Maybe the quota rules are a bit unsavory, that's debatable.
