Well, so far this year it's been slow for South Carolina standards I've sat 6 times, all evening hunts and seen 1 deer and 5 hogs. Killed 1 hog and passed on the only deer( too small). It is still very warm here( skeeters are bad). Will start to hunt some mornings here soon starting the 23rd of this month when on vacation. Also, the lack of rut activity is very noticeable where i hunt. Our season started 10-1-20 and ends 1-1-21. So a ways to go yet.
So , how many times you folks take a stand during the season? Sarge

During our 9 day rifle season, I hunt all day every day. The season is during the rut so the bucks are moving all day. I have shot my biggest bucks, 10 over 150 B&C, between noon and 2 in the afternoon. Everyone else are in the house napping and watching football while I'm killing a big buck. Take my lunch, some snacks and a pocket radio to listen to the Huskers. i do the same, except no radio

I am bad to hunt areas I run traps or check cattle so I invest very little time in my own harvest. I will hunt for days to help a friend of family member but deer hunting isn't something I myself invest much time in.

I sat on opening day of archery here, sept 13. Gun season opened today, didn't go. Work has really got in the way this year. Going bowhunting in Illinois, leaving next friday for a week. When I get home, rut should be kicking in here, plan on carrying my son then. I will sit a lot of days before our season goes out jan 1. Good luck to all.

I did not get to hunt this year. I moved and I wasn’t a resident in time to apply, and I’ll be a monkeys uncle if I’m gonna pay $280 for a deer tag as a non resident
