Figured I'd throw my 2c in.
Intended to go on an island hunt and take the V but didn’t have time to test the boat before hand, we had planned to take my neighbors Nitro but thanks to the weather service we thought Wassaw was going to be a 5 day nightmare because of Storm Noel.
The day before leaving I went and looked at the sound with straight 20kt winds, 2 foot white caps and the forecast for the next three days was to be straight 30kt and 40kt gusts.
Not wanting to try a loaded down boat carrying 5 days food, water and camping stuff for two people crossing the sound and fearing the weather service might be incorrect about the path of the storm we opted to go inland to Tuckahoe WMA for the same hunt dates.
Well reports I’m getting about Wassaw was “the best hunt in years” from my cousin that usually goes. 35 hunters with 38 deer killed (cousin got 5), the burned section of the island has greened up and the other end is full of acorns. (I’m pissed) The weather was perfect and no problems what so ever.
Tuckahoe had the normal 4-wheeler episodes and quite a number of deer killed, the one I got weighed 107lbs, 1 ˝ years old and a 7 point. There was barely any sign of deer trails and dominate marking lines, after looking at the kill sheets the major portion of deer were under 2 years old.
After reviewing the whole hunt, I have concluded that there is plenty of food, good deer population but most are young deer.
No worthy pictures but did take one of an abandoned church in the management area *
Our motel
And almost veal chops head dress
Oh almost forgot.
Them Christians are getting more cunning, found this at the camp when we returned Friday.
Went to Harris Neck NWR Sunday to look around for the hunt on Friday. There is great deer sign, trails and food.
