Most of the time it ends up being close to the bombing range, but we hunt the marsh right off of the 98 bridge a couple of times a year

But it doesnt seem like there is as many hogs in there this year.
We ran the hog dogs two saturdays ago and only caught two.
The next day ran the deer dogs and killed 5 does and a spike with the hounds, so it seems like there is alot more deer up there this year though.

Getting into the good weather for the year.  It's looking up.

Mallory starts next week.  Who's going?

We will probably go after deer season. How long is it going to stay open?

[Cutter Bay Kennels]

1 month

Cutter Bay Kennels we will have to meet at this hunt in Feb. am looking forward to it.

Cracker good luck at Starkey. I would like to see your Monkey dog.

Spaz and Mark,

I've got GS West this week, and Hal. the next.  If you guys go, catch up with me.  I timed a trip to town from Hal the other day.  You can be to all the restraunts within about 10 minutes from the gate.  There are a couple of wing joints around that area.  Nothing better than going to lunch smelling like a boar hog.  Like I said, if you guys go, get up with me.  I'd like to shake your hands. 

Peace out,
Josh

Josh, Good luck at Green Swamp. Will be looking for you at Hal. hunt  Mr. Mark, hope GS is better than starkey hunt. We didn't go, sold our hunt. Heard it was wild the first night with to many people and not enough hogs.

Guys (and girls) I will be at GSW with a whole crew...be about 8 or 9 of us and about 84 dogs...okay I am kidding about the 8-9 people......

Seriously though, we just kept getting people added to the group and now have way too many people for us all to hunt together.

I hope we can split up into about 3 groups and hunt seperately. Will just have to see how it goes once we all get there.

I don't like to hunt with more than 3 dogs on the ground and there will be 2-3 other guys with 4-5 dogs each. Plus my dogs, and I hope to be able to hunt my two Bob x Red pups on this hunt, but I don't want to hunt them with dogs that I don't know a lot about (i.e. trashy dogs, etc).

I will be in a grey F-250 with Cracker Creations on the back window, so if you see me, stop and say hello.

I will be in Halpata the following week also, but with a whole lot fewer people!!

We've got 4 passes for West ourselves.  We will basically hunt each guys pack alone.  We will take turns on the turnouts.  Hopefully, we have a lot of fun this year.  I've heard it has been wet down there, which should make it better than last year.  Man, was it dusty.

I have the second toso hunt its good till thursday caught one decent boar hog and got wrecked on another !! had a coupe good races !there is 150 permits for each of the two hunts 3 dogs on the gound as many as you want in the box !!! they were runners and had their nikes on............. that place is also slap fulla gators!! seen plenty that would eat a 14 jon boat for a snack !! but this is fl they are everywhere !! cant avoid em !! ive hunted the glades all the way up the st johns and kiss rivers and knock on wood not had a dog get eat by a gator !! had some scares though ! they are gonna be worse in places like toso and green swamp cause there is no Open lizzard season ! a few years ago we caught a good boar hog in toso on the edge of a big lake and had a 12 footer makin wake to the dogs catchin i went in and legged the hog and toted him to some dry ground while my partner threw everything he could at the gator to keep his attention !! the gator never went down and stayed at the bank the whole time we were foolin with the hog and dogs !!
I used to hunt all over  basinger and you can also put in at the end of micco bluff just getcha a lil further down the river !! i love that area some of the purdiest country around !! i also had a few ranches down micco bluff i could hunt caught Many a hog down that way !! i got a buddy that still hunts it pretty regular and has a lease there they catch lots of hogs !!! you can also put in a lil further north at hwy 60 or up closer to me north of 520 on the st johns !!

fla cracker how did yall do for dog days on our marsh ?? i did not even go my airboat still aint done!! we were gonna go on saturday and borrowed my buddys airboat but the wind was bad and we just ended up goin to a ranch close by and hunted from the truck!! I heard it was kinda slow??

[Cutter Bay Kennels]

Why did you have to go an post stuff like that?

Just another thing to worry about.

 

[cetchdawg]

i guess its just something the folks who hunt here hafta deal with i ?? does it bother me Of course !!! do i not turn my dogs loose well heck no !!!! ya never know when yer gonna stumble on one !! we come across one in some pines and palmetters a good mile from any water in toso !! only about 7 foot but still big enough to snatch up one of my 30 pound catahulas
Im not talkin trash just pointin out the fact that wmas are gonna be more fulla gators cause there is no LEGAL season?? i think that hog huntin is pretty much a adrenaline junkies sport anyway it just adds to the suspence !! LOL if yer dogs make it home in one piece you should b happy ??

I've hunted West plenty.  I've always heard the Withlockochee was infested, but knock on wood, I've never seen them yet.  I still continue to be on the look out though.
