very true. this was 1964- 1977. didnt have cameras etc, like there is now. wish did have more pics and vids..

yes he is and still hunts some in central florida. havent been back to glades since we hiked to where cabin was in 2004. last hunt was in 1985 i think.

Is the cabin in big cypress still there?

I have a cabin off sabal palm rd in the Picayune strand.

@@philkosanke8146 no. had to be removed after the goverment took over. was kept for a few years everyone quit hunting or died so rather to pay plus keeping up etc. just took down. the pipe for the pitcher pump is still there. kenny and i are the only ones left. his dad and others leased from collier bros back in late 40's

@@philkosanke8146 good. keep it as long as you can. the 'glory' days will never return. the cabin was located several miles back of oasis ranger station. not far from hikers trail. kept swampbuggy at jimmies place until he moved. then across the highway where other swamp buggies also were left.

used to hunt along river at andrews and lower suwanee refuge. some parts have cypress domes like big cypress. used to hunt also devils hammock. also st vincent island and bradwell bay. gotten old so semi retired from hunting as dont like gertting up early and all the work with climbers etc. like i used to! all hunting partners have moved away or died as i live between newberry and gainesville! last time hunting big cypress was 1987 i think. first time about 1958 i beleive.. friends at lakeland had the cabin and swamp buggy down there. we went down 2-3 time a year back then.. all over now.

nice! i knew her brother and he had a old 8 track of .trip and i copied to dvd. he called barbara and was okay to put on you tube. since then she has died and her brother also. seems like all gone as her then husband died long ago. they wanted to make a part 2 as had lots more film but would cost too much and not much of a market back then. dont know what happened to the film. sad

Was Jerry a wildlife officer?

do hope its never over but its changing as development takes over.. for the time being outdoor adventures still exist! yeah the last time i was at big cypress was in 1985 i think. did a hike back to where cabin was about 20 years ago.

@@swampcat0 I miss it. I had a cabin north of where I-75 now called the Addition lands. When they built I-75 to Naples, they bulldozed it and wouldn't let us go in to get our buggy. Now you can't even get to Bear Island without going all the way to wagonwheel road and back up...

@@JohnSims3 our cabin was several miles north of oasis center.

keep it going! blue tick coon dogs are special!

Yes sir they are

people die and new developments change everything usually for the worse.

same here and things arent the same and never will be..

@@swampcat0 I agree, but memories are still good!

very true!

he died 2 years ago peacefully. definitely "one of a kind" good hunting partner and friend. loved the woods and swamps..

good. coon hunting is dying out... not many coon hunters anymore..

yeah young deer and bully jakes. the youngster deer also harass the turkeys sometimes just for the fun of it~ and sometimes the turkeys repay the deer. they dont bother the mature does or bucks..

young . both boars and gilts. over populated in places and they are trapped and trapper either sells or donates to feed the hungry..

the trapper relocates them to someones stomach!

and blow off some firecrackers at the same time.

a trapper removes them from trap and takes away. probably either sells them or butchers them for freezer

@@swampcat0 Yes, but that is after they have had slugs put into them.
