Yeah, sucks they're the only Hoyt dealer in the area.. haven't dealt with them much but a gun buddy at work calls them "green rapers" for their price hikes.
You ever hunt Sambar on St. Vincent Island? I'm going to start putting in for it. Sambar are larger than Red Stags
I live in Venice, but generally hunt the Apalachicola NF because there is no quota system and the camping is hassle-free. The deer are extremely spooked by all the dog hunters and are pretty much nocturnal, but I like hunting there anyway.
St. Augustine here. Been a brutal early season. Hot, wet, and skeeter infested. Not seeing much movement since Irma.
During mosquito season ( which is most of the year ) thermacel is my best friend. NEVER leave home without it.
