This is turning into another unusual season, much like last year after the flood. Matthew just came through and wreaked havoc in eastern SC. I’ve got several stands that are not accessible for one reason or another, either under water or blocked by down trees. A few weeks ago I got a shot at a buck of a lifetime in SC- a 150 inch ten pointer. My shot was terrible! All I did was leave a calling card across his briskette. He continued to visit my stand, sometimes in daylight, but I didn’t get a second chance. He’s now dead at the hands of a young hunter just a short distance away. This buck was one of only a few shooters I’ve seen this season. I’ll be leaving for a week in KY the end of this week. I’ll be glad for a change of scenery. Hope your season is going better than mine. By the way, my blown opportunity can be seen in the “Deer-2016” video gallery. Later…

I don’t know about you but I’ve had it with the heat and humidity. The only thing we’ve had going for us so far has been the dry weather- no mosquitos. Well that’s history now. The recent heavy rains have brought out the mosquitos and we’ll have to deal with them until the weather turns considerably cooler. The forecast for next week is looking much better- cooler, but not cool enough to affect the mosquitos. But remember, the 25th is moving day! You definitely want to be in the woods on the 25th.

I can’t believe how slow the hunting has been. I’m seeing no decent bucks while sitting. I have gotten a couple of good bucks on trail cam but generally in the middle of the night. You can check them out in the Trail Cam photo gallery. Waiting on cooler weather. Later…
