I worked down in Punta Gorda, as a plant manager, about 15 years ago. On the drive down and back I saw hogs on the side of I 75 quite often. A few times I spotted deer but not too often. I love to fish but don't often get the chance. I'm 68 now and work for myself as a handyman now. I hope to completely retire at 70 and get some serious fishing in then.
