RE: Florida rut???
For you fellows who don't know wher ethe Over Street Ranch is....It's on Tran about 1 mile east of levi road past the power lines. Problem is overstreet is ovedr crowded. It does look good though, Tran is not the easiest road to be on. Just wide enough for one vehicle. It's eassier to hunt than bay heads. It's the Withalachochee River.

RE: Florida rut???
After you leave the check station go down Main Grade to Stand Hammock Road and park your vehicle in the aurthorized parking area and walk South to the Withlachoochee and the Green Swamp fence, which is also the Overstreet Ranch Fence,or you can follow Tram Grade to Ellis Grade, or follow Mian Grade to Ellis Grade that will run-in to Tram Grade,this is where Sumter County,Lake County and Polk County meet. Hunt all the area South of Tram Grade. Stay out of the Overstreet Ranch, don't jump the fence! It's private property!!!!
Another area that is good for deer is the Triangle between Tanic Grade and Three-Run-Grade off the Richloom fence!

Main....no problem
Powder...no problem
They are the only ones I've been on this year. However; although the roads are good it's hard to find a good place to pull over if you only got 2 wheel drive. Once wyou are parked you will be in water.

Tram has deep holes. Pulled the muffler off my truck last year. That road may have some pot holes with water. Also very narrow road. Powder is fine. Main is fine. Three mile will be sanding and wet. I plan to go tues, and Wednesday to Powder.

RE: Florida rut???
