Got out Tuesday for an evening hunt from 3:00 to sunset. Heard a pig but never saw him.
Went out again today from 1:00 to sunset thinking the rain in the morning and dropping temperature in the afternoon would get some stuff moving. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Took a picture of the shed from the 8 point when I was there, I think it attached to the post. Broke his brow tine but still a nice buck. (Picture doesn't really do it any justice.)

Definitely a nice shed you found!
I agree with the subject of numerous people checking out areas. I hunted a spot all of archery and never saw one other person contemplate stopping there until after I shot the spike. After that I have seen 2 others parking there while I was in as well as a guy pulling a sled with a shiny new ladder stand on it thru the woods on a bike at 8:00am while I was hunting from my climber. Sounded like an elephant prancing through the palmettos.

also saw some pics on a friends facebook that looked super familiar to the ones I have taken. so I'm going to hang one of my mini cams and see who may be around to at least correlate as to when we will be there.
Nothing worse than hunting a good spot to have someone walk up on you or put so much scent in the area it smells like a night club.

No question about that! Lots of land and lots of cover. This buck definitely isn't stupid, that's for sure. Hopefully the day he makes a mistake I'll be the one there to catch him on it.

You said you were going to hang some cameras, do you lock them to the tree? I'd like to place some but I'd hate to have them stolen.

Nobody saw me pull my deer out that I'm aware of. However, a few did see me checking it in at the check station. So I'm guessing decided that I must be onto something and kept an eye where I parked my truck haha. I try not to go in ANYWHERE I see a vehicle parked and so far while I was hunting weekends during general gun I have only ran into 3 people. 1 on a stand about 200 yards from me, I saw his vest and immediately retreated the same way I came as to not disturb them. other 2 were just walking as I was on my way back to the truck.

) lag bolted to the tree. Neither were messed with. I have gotten 2 very small cams that blend in well so I'm going to try them out. I just simply try not to put them right on a walking path or out in plain sight on the side of a tree. above eye height aiming down is usually what I do as most people are looking at the ground and bushes.

A friend went out to richloam and sunk his damn truck last weekend haha made a wrong turn and wham up to the top of the fender wells I believe. I've never hunted richloam myself as I've heard it's nasty area and a lot of dog hunting.
