Florida WMA Scouting VLOG: The beauty of the swamp

- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- In this video we're pre deer season scouting WMA's in preparation for hunting season. I showcase the beauty of the endangered Florida woods and swamp. With building and growth on the rise in SOFLO its a blessing to be able to escape into the little bit of Old Florida we have left. We will find many animal food sources, butterfly host plants and remains of animals that once walked the woods. Today we scout 2 areas in attempts of locating high traffic trails and heads of wood to put our cameras up. The hope is for good feedback from the trail cameras so we can come back to hunt the spot on opening day. If you plan to hunt make sure you have all the proper licensing and education to do so. Florida laws are strict and there are plenty of them, educate, educate, educate before going out!

+25yrs hunting Florida WMA's, tip for summer scouting: bring an umbrella -- provides decent heat relief as you walk! Especially areas where there's no canopy.
Thank you for the video. Thank you for the yard pick up. Every time I go fishing. I feel like I didn’t bring a big enough bag. The scary thought is the kids learn from the parents!
I just spent 29 minutes with Cheyenne, and I'm a happy man. Even with the heat and humidity you looked cool Cheyenne:-)) Thanks for the small rant and I loved the comment about pansies. Not a term we hear much any more. Kinda old school. Thanks for the time and effort needed to make this video.
Thanks for taking the time join us! It’s hard to look cool in this heat so I will take that as a big compliment 🥵 always gotta keep it real!
Oh, I forgot about the trashy people who can’t pick up after themselves. They were raised by trashy parents and weren’t taught about responsibility. When ever I went hunting and camping with my kids, I taught them to leave our camp site cleaner than when we got there. We all need to be responsible as we are the stewards of the land and seas and we need to protect and take care of those places.
That was a nice walk sitting here in my A/C room 😅
Great tourguide!
I just love that video
Goodluck on the future hunt
Nice Video ,Thanks for picking up the trash , i wish people wouldn't do it. We call that thorn stick a Devil's walking stick, Good luck deer hunting soon
That’s a good name for it! I wish more people could learn to respect the land, we have to take care of it 🌎
Loved this content! Keep us posted with the trail cam findings!
I’ve got some action so far!
Nice to go for a walk with you crew, the temp was warm, good luck the trail cams and the spider cam LOL! Stay Safe, have fun! Cheers for sharing the adventure! 👌😁
Haha thanks for watching!! We’ll be dodging spiders for weeks lol
Great video I actually learned a lot. Nice change of scenery.
Great! Thanks so much for coming along
Looks like a great spot. Good hunting. Keep posting videos beautiful young lady🌹
Enjoyed the video. Thank you. That was a fox skull by the way.
Those pond apples are called crab apples, an yep deer will devour them when their ripe, we only knew of one spot where they were in the Corbett area 40 + yrs ago, an we could alway get deer an hogs there. Deer are known to eat over 400 different types of food sources, exactly how many different species in fla, I don't know.
I went to Corbett as a kid in the 80's. I've always wanted to go back at least once.
@@TUKByV1 me to , but I doubt I will
@@williammccaslin8527 sad to say I live not too far! I hope you get back there soon.
You guys need to come up to the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia and Whitetail hunt!
The terrain where you hunt looks very strange to me being that here on the west coast we don’t have palmettos and all the other junglely flora.🤣 The areas I used to hunt in had pines, grass and rocks. Oh, and little plants with seed pods that when you used to brush against them they sounded like rattle snakes. Hope you have a great deer season, how far from these areas is your home?
Hunting is so different in flat land, I wouldn't know where to start. I've always lived in the hills of SE Tn. with the acorn trees and natural funnels. Were you find the most sign here is where the deer were feeding last week. The acorns on the tops of the ridges will drop first because they get the most sunlight. Don't hunt there though there will be lots of sign. The trees are dropping on the sides and bottom by the time season opens. If it's been a dry summer the trees along creeks will have acorns. If I can find a place where a tree fell across a fence that's a good funnel, or a place where water runs off a bluff. A good buck won't travel far without a good reason. In Florida I'd be lost or gator chow !
nice cheyenne lee The way you do the work gracefully - I am very proud of you. Thanks for going through the trouble and it's worth it. You have the absolute power to rise above any situation or struggle and transform yourself into the strongest and most beautiful version of yourself ever. Congratulations and best of luck for your promising future. Great job, you are amazing, you are important, you are special, you are unique, and you are valuable! Never give up, go ahead, fight for your dreams, everything will get better for you, I wish you good luck.
This is such a genuine & kind comment. Thank you very much for your inspiration 😊
@@CheyenneLeeBehrsin you're welcome 😍🤗🤗🤗
It’s definitely a different habitat than what I’m used to hunting. I can’t imagine hunting in the temperatures that you Floridians have to deal with. You must really have to work fast to process your meat.
I’m glad you’re back making videos again. It’s great seeing young folks enjoying the outdoors and keeping traditions going.
@@kridder6268 that’s such a great point that not many people think of! Every second counts when it comes to handling the meat. Thanks so much for tuning in & goodluck this season
I like the crossbone behind the camera stabilization.
Redneck innovations🤣
That was a fun woodland tour for a MN hunter. What cams did you get? I keep saying I should get some too, as I hunt all public lands and have time to really hunt around, but the season starts and I start moving around sitting and scouting and time flies and deer get taken, so I'm still a camless goof. Appreciate your fondness for hiking and enjoying the workout aspect of hunting. It does save you money too, which can ultimately mean more time for more hunting for more of your life because you can attain financial security and comfort sooner and choose freedom and adventure over work to pay for unnecessarily expensive and nonessential things. You'll boost your savings rate for your income you make and stay in great shape. Keep up the good fun.
I like that analogy about saving money! Never thought that deep into it!! We each have one Tacticam cell camera and a few super cheap tascos . I’ve hunted Montana in the past with rifle and I couldn’t even imagine trying to pick a spot. There’s so much open land, how do you choose!?
@@CheyenneLeeBehrsinMy MN woods are sort of like your guys turf, but different tree species, so it's same game you guys guys work, bottle necks via wetlands, and multiple trails junctions. You mentioned setting up not being able to see far, which totally rang true for me too, but we do travel a bit to some public ag lands and I love seeing deer on the move at a distance that I wouldn't normally see in the woods. We hunt the public during the wk (back to that early retiree, choosing freedom thang) so we usually have it our selves during archery. Keep up the good fun and intense adventures.
Living the dream!! Y’all are savages lol, it’s hot lately 🥵 happy hunting !!
Yes indeed! It’s been blazing, thanks for the support
Where you been? Lol Haven't seen to much content lately.
Good seeing you back in the swamp showing people your amazing lifestyle!
Hope to see more in the future!
And if you have any must spots for me to visit in Florida on my visit, that would be much appreciated. I'd like to get out on the water but also do some sight seeing :)
I had a busy couple of years, but have been trying to post once a week for about a month now. What part of Florida will you be in? There’s so many good spots! Thanks for watching :)
@@CheyenneLeeBehrsin
Busy is good :)
We are planning on starting in Sarasota and working our way to the keys? Is that a good plan lol.
What you call a flag pond is just a marsh or prairie a flag pond has alligator flags in it hints the name flag pond but nice place there I'm in Naples our woods have about 3ft of water everywhere now
Your partner in crime Kelly Young would have lost it seeing the spider, lol.
Great video! I am not familiar with Florida WMA's. Do you have descent cell phone coverage out there or are cellular cameras worthless? On a side note, I didn't see much in the way of pig sign. Do you ever run into them?
FWC says there are feral hogs in every county in FL.
Hi ponytail nice to see ya both. You two could come to MI and we'll cool things of for yeah 🙃
Hey there Cheyenne, thanks for posting the video. Have you talked or seen Judah Clark in the past few months. Just wondering if you knew where he went. Make it a great day.
👍

Cheyenne, there are some more reliable information on the Pond Apples elsewhere. The ones here are unreliable.
Why are they called flag ponds Cheyenne? I'm from the Carolinas we call those crab apples..
Flag Ponds contain several plant communities, basins, swamp, wet prairie set .The name is inspired by the high density of alligator flag that grows in the basin swamp, which remains wet most of the year!
@@CheyenneLeeBehrsin thanks learned something new..
Hi Cheyenne,
I enjoy your videos of your hunting and outdoors adventures. A month or so ago, I watched your video about scouting for FL hunting sites. I just watched it again this evening, and I'm saddened to see that apparently the Wokesters have gotten to you (perhaps it's about making money and keeping all varieties of subscribers). In the original version, you comment about doing things the old-fashioned way, using your own legs, and not wanting to be a pansy riding an ebike. That commentary is now all gone, and there's no mention of ebikes/side-by-sides, etc. I guess some of the snowflakes got their feelings hurt!
Do you ever have your trail camera stolen? Are your cameras cell cameras?
One of them is, this is our first year really putting them to use. I hope we don’t get any stolen
I don't think deer eat the pond apples cuz the black seeds inside them are poisonous
I've never heard of any mammal or bird eating them because of that.
I looked it up n found it about pond apples I'm born n raised here in Naples there's a ton of pond apples in the swamps here n nothing touches them at all so I looked it up n found that info out
@@howardedwards5908 I guess they depend on water and weather to move the seeds.
I hope Taylor and BlueGabe get along too
Do ya think a drone could be useful to scout?
Possibly, I’m not very familiar with drones. I’m not sure how close it would be able to get with the thick trees

You and Kelly Young are the hottest ladies on RUclips. I’m so glad you’re friends and do some combined vids! 💕💕
Interesting exploration. I know you're scouting for deer, but I'm hoping you'll snag a photo of a Skunk Ape. They're pretty camera shy.
I grew up listening to the tales of skunk ape. Nothing would shock me!
Sabe 🙀
Any Skunk Apes out thar
