The season for everything (dogs, rifle, bow etc.) is open here from Aug 15-Jan 1 in SC. Didn't get to go last Sat but my buddy killed a 5 pt, his son killed a 6 pt, & there was a 10pt & couple does killed on the club that day. Not too bad I reckon for a days work, makes you sick when you know you could've been part of it. Makes my dogs mad too!
