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…
