Live from the Stand 2022

[cutman]

Deer season is underway in South Carolina. I left work at 4:30 and am in the stand. Saw 3 deer as soon as I got up in the stand. I’m sitting over a corn feeder, but I’m really watching over a 70 acre section of hardwoods that was select cut a few months ago. I’ve never been able to see this much ground at once. Nice breeze and no mosquitoes yet.

What’s the temperature like?

It was low 80s with a steady south wind. Didn’t even have to turn the Thermacell on. Saw 17 deer.

98 here today...101 tomorrow...couldn’t even imagine deer hunting in that...

Got 5 bucks in front of me eating corn and food plot. Thermacell definitely had to go on this afternoon!

Saw 9 bucks and 1 doe. The one I was after showed up, but his body was significantly smaller than 4 of the other bucks. I held off.

The first buck is a perfectly symmetrical 10 pointer. The second is the one I was after. He did not appear to be a dominant buck when he interacted with the other bucks tonight.

Left and right views. 6 acres of Iron clay peas in both directions. Peas are up about 3-4”. Just finished raining. 76 degrees and 5-7 mph wind out of the southeast.

Don’t usually hunt until we can shoot does (Sep 15) but this is tolerable

 

[cutman]

Good luck!

2 does and a fawn

Slow

Cut - That big wide 10 is one gorgeous buck!

First sit of the year. Rained like crazy all the way up. Hopefully it stays away for the evening.

Got 16 in front of me right now eating sawtooth oak acorns.

I would rather have the rain than deer right now.But always follow your hunts

Got a several more weeks before Archery/Crossbow opens in my section of the Florida Woods.

If the Possible Storm holds off or moves west, I plan to head up to do the Annual Trimming. Mowing, and Feeding.

I’m in my blind for the first hunt of the year. Had a good entry with the wind in my face and I feel good about this hunt. My target has shown here in daylight several times lately.

if I don’t score this evening I’m spending the night and hunting in the morning. This will be the first time I have ever done that. My trigger happy neighbor is watching around my home tonight, so no worries.

Two of my views

Good luck!

I had him in the standing corn but it was blocking his vitals. He’s moved on out of sight. There’s always another day.

If it’s the one you posted with the corn in the background, I bet that was an adrenaline rush.
