Calkins Creek Hunt club is approximately 2,000 acres in Baker County, Most of the Western
boundary runs aside the Osceola National Forest. Still Hunting clubs are to the South,
South West and North, all have 4-point buck or larger minimum. A natural creek runs
through the property with adjacent swampy terrain and some hard wood surrounded by
planted pines. The large clear cut at the intersection of road 2 and 1 is the result of a 2002
fire planted with new pines in 2005. There are 5-6 fire lanes in three of the large blocks that
have 3-4 miles of winding trails.
Plans are to have at least 5-6 club stands with food plots and corn feeders maintained
throughout the year. Club stands are first come first serve daily. Plans are to have two
check-in boards for club stands to let others know when they are occupied. Boards must be
reset to unoccupied before exiting the club premises for the day. Plans are to plant many of
the roads and accessible trails to pull and retain game in the club. Plant it and they will
come. Planting should begin in March/April with a replant in the fall.
Bears are on the property and will try to destroy any feeders they can easily access. At least
two black bears patrol the property nightly. Turkey are frequently seen and Florida Panther
tracks show up at times. Hog signs showed up late in the 04-05 season but only 1 has
been seen in 4 years. Squirrel and dove can be found, but no dove hunting due to the
sound impact.
