Bill, I'm fortunate enough to have access to private land most of the time. There is huge demand for the Osceola from all those fellas trying to get their grand slam. Public land hunting is actually very good but one must get back deep into the areas as the areas of easy access are very over crowded. Makes for poor hunting and is dangerous. These birds were taken on a lease I have had for several years and I have done my best to manage it. Try to only take gobblers 3 years and up. Last year we took three birds with spurs 1 1/2" to 1 3/4 tho Osceola tend to have longer spurs than easterns. Nevertheless, last years birds were exceptional.
