Little late on this post but we had a great start to the opening weekend of turkey season. 4 vets and 4 turkeys. Great group of guides and veterans. Add in two hogs and call it good.

Great Florida Cattle Drive 2026. Give a shout out to the 16 veterans who completed the adventure. Cold, frost, rain and sunshine didn’t stop them. Thank you for persisting through it with me.
It was an honor.
Boss boss
