Dont know how much longer I will be able to hunt on this lease.
Pretty much what happened to me over the last 30 years in FLA. First a college , then housing and commercial developement. Theres even a Bass Pro Shop on a part of one of my old leases. We finally packed it in on FL hunting and got a lease in Alabama. I miss the old days of being 30 minutes from our lease. But do to technology and our ages we can get away enough to really enjoy our lease 9hrs away enough to make it worth it. Much cooler and better weather for deer hunting up there as well.


Life can be rough on us dreamers.
