Have you had to choose a life in the woods or on the saltwater?

Did you hunt around Tampa bay? I’ve been on a couple of decent hunts down around Lake O but never hunted in Tampa bay

Scouted a ton, but never found anything outside of bluebills. I typically drove inland to hit freshwater.

While I can’t say I’m in your position, I can tell you there’s nothing that would get me to move back to the east coast or south from the mountain west.

We have saltwater fishing over here, albeit different. Maybe move back and look into getting a boat you can trailer to the coast(OR or WA) to get your fishing fix when you want.

I grew up in north Florida and now live in AZ. I love the mountains. I can’t move back to Florida, I’d miss the big game hunting and mountains too much.
