hunter

Found Low Country Outfitters, they have half day hunts for $75 each and they're close enough to Myrtle Beach so I don't have to pay for an extra room. Besides with the heat Idoubt Iwill be up for more than this anyway. Anyone familiar with this guy, please give me your thoughts.

Eagle, I'm gonna be in Myrtle Beach for two weeks so I'm looking at my options in reasonable drive time. So far I found Low Country Outfitters. They have half day hunts for $75 per hunt. I figure this will be my best option so I can spend part of the day with my family and stay in the room I'm already paying for. I plan on hunting the first wek of Sept which will be bucks only and in velvet according to the outfitter. I'm gonna do afternoon hunts.

The greatest generation indeed. My Dad was in the army and was part of D Day, my uncle was a lifer in the navy and commanded subs in the Pacific and my other uncle was in the Coast Guard as an aviator. He was shot down three times and survived to fight again each time. All gone. RIP all you heroes from the greatest generation. Now for Marlins, I love them. .35 was my first rifle. Now have a 30-30 and a .41 mag lever. Think I'm taking the .41 to SC for deer hunt in Sept. I have an aperture sight on this gun but think I'll put a low power scope for low light and old eyes.

Looks like a beauty. Use it in good health.

I knew a couple of oldtimers who told me they know they're gonna fall asleep and the deer wake them up when they get there. I shot one buck when I woke up from a nap in a hay bale blind with walls blocking the wind on all side with a bench with backrest and a half wall that served as a shooting bench and a place to lay my rifle on. I t was bitter cold and the first day I could not sit still but the second day I brought a heavy space blanket and dozed off to find my dream come true a buck. lol

I am.

Family BBQ downstate so my kids can be with me then up to the camp for a week with the bride. Mostly work to get camp in shape but fishing and target shooting in the mix. Have a new 44spl I haven't shot yet.

Congrats and many more. My wife and I are in year 24 and while driving upstate during really nice weekend I said I'm glad we didn't kill each other in the early years and she laughed and agreed with me.

Nice work, Growalot. I built a lean-to frame with my brother on his land but we only enclosed with tarps. I plan on building a wood one on my land this summer. I like them big enough to move around in, stretch legs, take off or put on jacket, room for a heater maybe a stove to boil water for coffee etc. Basicaly a condo with shooting ports. Now, elevating it like your camo one might be good also.

I thought the early mls was always right before gun for a reason, that being once you start shooting up the woods there goes the neighborhood for archers. I don't object to a youth season but if bow is going to be open for Columbus Day weekend that seems like a big one to devote just for youths. A regular weekend like the first one would seem more appropriate. I mean it's alot easier for a kid to bang a Mon. off than an adult who works.

Yeah, the rain got me in zone 4 too. Right after I closed on my camp my culvert got plugged and washed about 100' of driveway away. Luckily after it was repaired in mid May we had more heavy rains and it handled it. Also lucky for me the stream didn't flood.

I recently bought a Remington 870 in 20 ga. and while shopping for ammo Dick's had buckhammers on sale so I stocked up on them. I bought the 2 3/4" ones and was really surprised at accuracy and range. Dead on at 50 yds and a little high at 100. I couldn't understand that myself but in my gun they were about an inch or two high at 100 yds. Now for the moment of truth, lasat season I was in a box blind with a rest when a buck came in at about fifty yards on a trot. I put the scope on a clearing he was heading for and got him midship a little low on his right side. It took him down as he dived foward from the momentum of the trot he was in and piled up within 20 yds of where I shot him. When he was butchered one piece of the slug made it all the way to under the skin on the opposite side where his front leg joined the body. I wasn't there so I can't be exact on how much went where else but id did the job great and that's without goin up to 3". Sorry but I don't get to tell the story often enough. lol

Thanks so much Warren, I definitely will tell him you referred me.

Anyone have knowledge regarding Cypress Creek or any other outfitter in the Myrtle Beach area. Going back at the end of August and wanted to fit in a hunt. So far all I have is this one outfitter and wasn't sure if I wanted to go for deer or hog. I'm leaning towards velvet buck but I'm open to hog.

Me too, shot down in Maine. Can't stop applying and lose my preference points but I only buy a couple of chances, this year I think it was $35 for 6. I'll still be going for deer in Nov.

I know they use to make an earth scent wafer for them. If they still do I would go with them but I don't think the regular ones spook deer or bear. I read an article about a bear hunter who used one unscented after the guide told him not too and bagged a huge bear.

Good luck in NF I'll probably be heading up that way soon if I don"t luck out in Maine.

I know it sucks and after awhile you could probably just do a Canada bear trip for all the chances we buy. Good luck.

I guess you're right about Maine as I'm still waiting. lol Good luck to your buds in NH

Congrats to you and the Mrs. God Bless.

Anyone else waiting for the Maine Moose Lottery on the 18th? I have some preference points and agreed to accept any tag. Hope it helps. Well good luck to all in the lottery.

Bob, I belong to Whitney Point and Oxford. Both are great and are into archery & rifle, but not exactly near Smyrna. Don;t know if there are any closer. Maybe check at Mayhoods on Rte. 12 in Norwich. He has a bow range. I think he has a gun range but don't think it's public.

It was formerly known as Osterhaut's Landscaping. His office is in Oneonta.

Homerun. If it's a free. It's a for me.

Well, since I got some views I thought I would update you guys. I had Onontio Landscaping come in and find and repair the culvert with a more professional entrance with brush gaurd and it was torture tested and passed with a major storm afterward. Warren and his men also graded and rebuilt some damaged Press. treated walls and poured some cement under the fireplace foundation the stabilize. He and his men are pros the price didn't creep up even though he had some problems on the job.
