Title: Riding Ocala during the week Post by: superstroked on November 10, 2005, 10:44:17 AM Anyone think that the hunters will be out at Ocala during the week? Thinking about going Wed 11/16/05 for the first time and dont want to get shot! LOL
Title: Re: Riding Ocala during the week Post by: adeese660 on November 10, 2005, 05:37:02 PM Yes,the hunters WILL be out there,I am a hunter myself,what happens is they have a Quota hunt,which means that you put your name in a drawing and if chosen you can have preferance over the other hunters and hunt the first 9 days,Wed. is only 5 days into general gun,there are alot of people that take off work to hunt those first 9 days.They only allow a certain amount of hunters during that time,but that amount is usually about the same as the number that hunt Ocala anyway,they have alot of land,so they allow more hunters.
Hope this helps you out. Title: Re: Riding Ocala during the week Post by: superstroked on November 10, 2005, 06:37:37 PM So I guess that means it would be a good idea not to go well heck I really didnt want to go to croom again :( Was hoping for a change of scenery!
Title: Re: Riding Ocala during the week Post by: adeese660 on November 10, 2005, 07:33:13 PM If you do deside to go to Ocala,I would at least go between say 10:30 to 2:00 or so,after and before the hunters will be in their stands,of course thats just giving an estimate,they all have differant times they leave their stands in the morning and return afternoon,and some stay there all day,but be careful,I wouldn't ever shoot at someone in the woods unless they were shooting at me,but there are alot of differant people out there with differant frames of mind,most will just get p-oed at you,cuss a little and go on about their business but you never know.

Title: Re: Riding Ocala during the week Post by: themensh on November 11, 2005, 07:13:49 PM SEED ORCHARD:
Coming from the East on route 40....turn north toward the "Rifle Range" which is on road #88. Drive on #88 seventeen miles. About 2.2 miles north of road 316 you will see a large sign that says SEED ORCHARD on the left. Park in grass behind the sign. (hope this helps) Chuck |
