There a couple of pre-written posts for you, but no spur of the moment ones until late tonight (and maybe not 'till Wednesday!) because I am going out to chase some wily whitetails.

I'll be hunting Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area (Informative PDF) on the west coast of Florida in Hernando County.

I'm told the hunting is hard, but I met a young fellow named Justin that took pity on me and was kind enough to sit down with your ever faithful writer and go over the map. I told him I was primarily interested in getting a doe for the freezer, and he suggested two spots, and then recommended that I carefully walk the dirt access roads during the day. He says he has seen plenty of hog on the roads during the late morning and early afternoon. Sounds counterintuitive I know, but he was a sincere young fellow, and I have no reason to doubt his observations.

I am looking forward to taking my new SiegeWork Creations American Long Bow
with me on this hunt. I haven't received the wooden arrows yet, but I have some aluminum Eastons that will serve well for the time being. I will also be using the Muzzy Phantom MX broadheads that I reviewed on September 10th.

I'm looking forward to this long anticipated and well deserved hunting foray. And even if nothing comes my way, I'll consider it a successful trip!

Wish me luck!
