Heading to Florida

[DaveS]

I'm heading to Florida to Pig hunt, fish and rally, and wondered if any of ya'll had any experience "carrying" while there. I've been reading up on it, but I'm sure there are things I don't know. I'm going to Florida via Alabama.

Keep it covered.  Stay out of bars.

 

Have fun.  They're growing some big pigs down there.

[DaveS]

Thanks for the info. A landowner is having a major problem and we get to hunt them. Cool thing is..hunt them with what you want, when you want and how you want. FREE  Then going to squeeze in some shark and cobia fishing!

 

Thanks again!

Eat some shrimps! It's required. :)

I would love to go pig hunting. Good Luck.

Never had gator. Would like to give it a try though!

I like to cut a cube-pattern on the tail - about 1 inch squares - almost all the way through.  Cover it with barbecue sauce appropriate for wild game - your choice, and throw it on the grill.

 

Yummy.

I don't eat bugs or lizards. Taste has nothing to do with it.

How do you get around classifying a shrimp as a bug?

It has fins. I will eat bugs if they have fins.

[MacGyver]

Fair enough, I guess.  Just don't go ordering them down in Savannah, GA.  When they bring them out with the heads on and the legs still attached, there's no denying that shrimp, despite the fact that they are tasty, really are bugs.

I spent two of the last three winters in Florida. The gun shows were overwhelmingly Modern Sporting Rifles... never seen anything like it. Not a mix of guns like we see here. I carried all the time, mostly pocket carry of a small gun. But, I carry concealed, so as far as I know, no one ever made my firearm. I went by some of the pig hunting areas east of Sebring, but I was towing an RV so I never drove into them.

 

Don't let your guard down. The only time I've ever had to threaten to use a firearm was in Florida in broad daylight at an I-75 rest area.  Who would have thought it?

You need to leave the heads on.

Shrimp often referred to as the cockroach of the sea.

They're fins, dammit. Where you from, anyway? :)

There was a few crying eyes when Outpost Armory closed their restaurant which served alligator!  :)

 

I never got a chance to try it. :(

Ya'll are ruining my cravings for see food...

Wait til they remember that crabs don't have fins. I like me some crab, too.

[MacGyver]

Yeah, but crabs are crustaceans.

I'm on the "see food" diet. I see food, I eat it.

 

Yeah, but crabs are crustaceans. 

 

So are shrimp and lobster.

Gator is soooo tender and juicy. Im not much for cliches but it really does taste like chicken, for the most part. Actually, Id rather have gator than chicken now that I tried it.

Forgot to say this but have a good trip Dave. I want to try the pig hunt thing some day, especially from a hellicopter.
