Is it even possible on public land? _________________________ Liberalism is a mental disorder. | ||

There are definitely some public land hunts. | |||

Sure is… check out the apalachicola NF at 500,000 acres, quite a few wma’s in the panhandle area and there’s also Elgin AFB… | |||

Neither of those areas are in the range of the Osceola turkey. One has to go further south on the Gulf side to find Osceola birds. . There are no Osceolas in the panhandle. They are all eastern birds . My ranch (in Levy County) is barely in the Osceola range. It is considerably further south . | |||

Thank you for that correction. Mind slipped after a couple whiskeys last night…There is the green swamp WMA and the Hilochee WMA that he could use, not sure on a tag draw or not. Babcock ranch WMA is 67,000 acres more or less but I bet the competition is stiff. | |||

There are quite a few management area in prime Osceola areas . I cannot address the competition in those areas. | |||

Thanks for the additional info fellas. I have a place in Miami so I'd like to be south if possible. The charter guy I fish with has a name if I opt to go with an outfitter but I've killed so many birds up north here I'd rather DIY it if I can. Heading to SW Texas in April to chase Rios on a bud's property....just thought it'd be nice to try a semi-slam. Right before I arrived at elk camp in MT in September the Merriams were all over evidently but pulled a vanishing act.....oh well. _________________________ Liberalism is a mental disorder. | |||

That is definitely Osceola territory . I have a buddy down that way who hunts a lot on public land . He is a little further north but knows the areas well. I’ll ask him. | |||
