south Carolina
 

Any body have success in South Carolina last year with any method of take? Just wondering what to expect when I go out there in November.

The rut was just weird last year. Deer movment was all messed up.

Hope this year is better.

My bother did well with a CVA 50 cal Up next Orangeburg Co

I only hunted there a few times and I was lucky I even saw a deer.....1 deer in 4 trips, lol...needless to say I won't be going back......saw lots of sign just nothing while I was in my stand(s).....

The deer are funny in Sc and Georgia...and yea the rut was crazy...The rut came in 2 weeks early

I did pretty good there last year. Several bucks and a couple does. Early season was a wash. It was just too hot!

We did good for a small club. Check out some pictures at our site - www.huntgeorgetownsc.com

Hunting in S.C. is a little different than the colder climates. We don't have a definitive rut rather what we call a trickle. It starts in Sept. and lasts till late Nov. with some exceptions. I saw a ton of deer but they do not like a lot of 4 wheeler traffic. So many good hunting locations are ruined by atv's. We hunt 350 ac. and see a ton of deer, and yet our neighbors, who use a tv's alot do not. Think about it

I shot 5 in 2009 and my friend shot 19. He put on a lot of miles scouting and hunting. Lots of deer here. You just have to go after them.

thank you everyone
 

thanks all to the information.

The deer activity was slow for 2009 compared to 2008. Only seen one buck all season and it was during bow season when I seen him. Goodluck this fall!

had a great year in chester co. seen deer all year and saw 3 good wallhanger bucks. every season seems to be getting better and better. not a pig spike n rutting activity tho

Im in upper Dorchester County. Last year just plain sucked for me. Got to be better this year. 12 days to opening day!

Got one buck and some does. Just checked my trail cam got 3 smaller bucks coming in. Should start seeig the bigger ones soon. Richland County has tons of deer!

I had a good luck last year. I took one dandy 8 point, one 7 point in velvet (cull buck) , and passed on a ton of small bucks. Rut was on time IMHO. Halloween is where it peaked as always.

I took this 8 pointer on Oct. 25, 2009 in Chester County, SC. His gross green score was about 132. His official B&C score dry was about 121.
