I hunt in south carolina.I have not seen alot of deer,but have noticed alot of sign.There is every type of food source available for deer this year.also I believe the lack of cold weather in november made it difficult to determine when the actual rut occured this year. I believe it ended around the 20th nov.,but was short. during deer season this year I have noticed alot of turkeys so hopefully a good turkey season will make up for a slow deer season.
