From teh dates, though, it looks like I might just have to learn the Archery business... I love muzzleloading season and here in VA it is around a month. But, I guess that it is not as popular there and Archery is.

I guess I will just have to bow to the pressure and take up archery. One good thing about that is I can practice in my own back yard. That will be cool. Time to start laying away the money for a bow set up.
Maybe I will leave my smoke pole here in VA and just use it at my Dad's place if we come up for T-giving or something.

Clermont is a cool area, lotsa hogs... Lived there for awhile, in-laws still do....
Land there is expensive though, unless you are further west.... not much longer commute to O-town...
when you move down, feel free to contact me

RE: Moving to Florida!
Well, the blood, sweat and tears are over and I am finally settled into my new place in Minneola.
I ordered my license and it should be here in a couple of days. Been hitting the www.myfwc.com site pretty hard to try to find what WMAs are near by. It is tough because there aren't any maps that plot them all out. Has anyone else seen a map that shows the general location of the WMAs? Right now I am going through each description, mapping the towns nearby and trying to figure out what might be near.
Plus, I can't figure out the quota hunt system for WMAs. I guess you have to sign up, but there are different times, and some require it and some dont and the quota limits your time, but sometimes it doesn't. Can someone help a poor boy out and try to explain this bugger to me?

In Clermont you will be within 15mins. of one big management area and theres another one that joins it on the other side. I got these 3 bucks off one of them.

RE: Moving to Florida!
I would LOVE to learn to hunt hogs. Only ever hunted deer. I don't know the first thing about how to go about it, scouting, what to look for, where to go, anything. Do you usually just get up in a tree stand or ground blind and wait for whichever comes by first?
