  Deep in the tannic stained waters of the Okefenokee swamp lies the beginning of a blackwater river. In a fertile river valley that was once home to many native American tribes this river served as a natural water way for hunting and trade. At 246 miles long the Suwannee river is the 3rd longest river in the state of Florida. The Suwannee is full of unbridled adventure as it cuts its route deep in the limestone of Florida. A history deeply rooted in tales that allude to cursed and unsettle able ground, lore that can be traced back to the wrong doings of the early Spanish conquistadors, Tales of murder and savagry that has lead some to believe the river is haunted. This week we are joined by Steve Christian to hear some not so haunted tales from a river as old as time.

Ep. 66 Four Foot Levitating Fish

In a much simpler time, years before one of Florida's first invasive species the Giganticus Mousimus commonly referred to as Mickey, lived a wild and vast prairies riddled with palm trees, oak hammocks and swamps full of alligators. From the 1500s until 1844 whole east coast of Central Florida was known as "Los Musquitos".   After Andrew Jackson received authority to take possession of the Florida territory ceded by Spain in 1821, he divided the whole territory into two counties, along the Suwannee RIver.  All of the area west formed Escambia, and all of it east formed St. Johns County  .This was largely consistent with the previously existing British colonies of West Florida and East Florida.   Mosquito County was split off from St. Johns on December 29, 1824. At roughly 220 miles long by 90 miles wide, it was the largest county in the new territory. In 1842, the Armed Occupations Act was passed, providing 160 acres to any head of family who settled on property south of Ocala.  In 1844, the expansive area of Mosquito County was cut in half with the southern half being named St. Lucia County, and the northern half being renamed Orange County. St. Lucia County was renamed Brevard County in 1855.

Ep. 65 Mosquito County Florida

As hunting season as we know it comes to a grinding halt across the country with the end of spring turkey it leaves outdoorsmen and women with the burning question in the back of their minds, what do I do know? How do I pass the time until I can once again set foot into the woods and water in pursuit of game? The avid archery hunter is going to be at the range sending arrows deep into the target, or out collecting sheds and patterning game for the upcoming season, but the waterfowl hunter, they might shoot some clays or service the boat, but that will only fill so much idle time, but now is the time to be sharpening the skills of easily your most valuable hunting partner, you dog. So This week we are joined by Zack Miller the Founder and lead trainer of Southern Loon Retrievers in North Eastern Pennsylvania to talk about how he trains his dogs as well as those commissioned to him for training.
