The first official Florida Saddle Hunter Meet up

Guana is an easy 1 to figure out....just ask the guy/gal at the check in station. It's all written down on the clipboard as to how many showed and if they had a guest or not. They all nice guys/gal.

Have you ever duck hunted at guana when it was first come first serve? The line was like a mile and people were in line by at least midnight the night before. It was insane. That’s what I was referring too.
 
No I don't duck hunt and that sounds before my time....

guana is 1 of them...there are year round food plots...a bunch of them...and the waterfowl improvement is 1 giant food plot

I've talked with the main guy out there managing the place and if he could get more nutritious stuff to grow he said he would. Joe budd is another 1 I know has supplemental feed year round

I wish fwc/subcontractor would give us a list of when/where they apply prescribed burns...

At chassahawiztka and homosassa they mark it on the big map at check station, all others I've been to, no such luck. Some of the burns are done by the division of forestry and can be seen on Facebook the day of the burn. A lot of the other burns especially on the coast are done by swift mud and they don't report sh**. My biggest problem with the burns is that they do it right in the middle of hunting season. I've literally been hog hunting with my wife at citrus wma and they started a control burn shooting
 
...shooting those flaming ping ping pong balls. We only figured it out after the smoke started rolling in.

It was a zoo and half of the people were drinking the hard stuff. It wasn’t even that long ago. But they lined up on the beach side so idk if the deer hunters would have seen anyways.

I had no idea about food plots for deer at guana. That’s cool. I’ve never hunted anything but ducks there.

I hunt Cary and osceola almost exclusively down here and have never stumbled upon a food plot.

Ya for 2 I was thinking about Guana during duck season which is a disaster. But I tend to think that the deer hunting pressure is a lot more spread out so I don’t think it would be a direct comparison. Even during a three day quota hunt I don’t ever see that many trucks out there. I feel like close to half of the people who drew just don’t show up.

You don’t see as many because of the quota only allowing a limited number of people in there. Thomas Creek for example that place would be slammed. So would 4 creeks or bayard. The best spots have to have quotas or they be way over pressured here. Especially for rut

Those are both big woods forests so they wouldn’t be adding food plots to those. Even then the food plots are usually just clearings with Bahia grass. It’s not nearly as good as agro fields of corn or soy
 
From what I can gather, but don't know for sure is, if there are birds involved there is usually extra funding for year round supplemental food...ducks and turkeys

Guana gotta bunch .....whenever small game opens up we can get a 904 group hunt meet and greet.....they allow center-fire boom boom
 
I wish the state would allow some corn or soybean fields spread throughout Osceola national forest!
