RE: Moving in SC yet?
Gary,
I hunt in Williamsburg Co about 75 miles NNW of Clarleston and the colder weather seems to have got the deer moving some. This past weekend I got into the stand early (1hr before sunup) and heard several deer come by before dawn...I guess moving from feeding areas to bedding areas. Later at around 8:30, my brother saw several does moving about. We stayed put in the stands and at 9:15 my cousin shot a nice 8pt buck skirting the edge of a swampy area. We didn't get to stay for the afternoon hunt but my cousin shot a large doe at 5:20pm and my uncle (who sat in the stand I was in that morning) saw 4 more around 5:15pm but couldn't get a shot. I definitely feel that the deer are moving more now as we had gone for 3 weeks without seeing any deer during shooting light. Also saw several new scrapes believe it or not! The first rut was so spotty with all the warm weather maybe the second will be good. Good luck on your hunt...hope this gets you pumped.
Will
