Turkey Hunting in Florida

[kmckinnie]

Sounds like 3 Rivers but there is a few other good size leases in that area as well.

93.000 acres and like 400 or so members, might be more but have always heard even if you just still hunted it you never had a issue with the deer dog folks.

Dropping names are we. No wonder we can’t have anything nice.
Did I quote that right.

I believe that is the club that Forum member Swamp Hunter is in.

Primer strike doesn’t seem to be a deep enough indenture . Weak firing pin spring ?

Happened to me two times.......because of me slowly and quietly trying to close the bolt on a shell

That is a private club not public land open to all so yeah you can drop that name.

It maybe private with 400 members.

The 2 NW Florida WMA's I hunt have a fair/good population. Problem is, like a lot of other big non quota Florida WMA's, they are prone to flooding. Since I hunt solo, I have to take into consideration the gators and cottonmouths. Point being is there is a lot of areas where turkeys will die of old age before they even hear a turkey call. They are there, just hard to get in front of.

Wonder if South Florida’s python population hurts the turkeys. From what I’ve seen on the news they are killing a lot of native animals.

In all the years and miles we’ve covered in there non of us have ever seen a python in there

Yep, Sandhill Hunt Club. Seen that post many times over the years lol. His wife “Big Candy” is a much better hunter than he is.

Light primer strike can have a number of causes including primer type (Fiocchi primers are notorious among SXS reloaders), not fully seated primer, (strike is enough to push primer deeper without ignition), improper head space due to several causes, broken pin and or spring, and last but not least, bad luck--planet misalignment..

I grew up pretty much on the SR 70 line…..man I wish I’d hunted more than pigs growing up!
