This hunt was one for the record books (to quote the resident manager).
Out of 100 accepted applicants, only 60 (or so) bothered to pay for the permits. Of them only 30 or so showed up. There are a certain number of deer that are needed to be removed each year in order to maintain the herds general overall health and the islands holding capability. This hunt produced 11 deer. For the year, about 70 needed to be harvested. Well bad weather should have been the major contributing factor. Rain on the first day of arrival and then promised rain the first day of the hunt. Followed with temperatures from 33 to 70 for the whole hunt, not to mention the wind. 15 to 25 the whole time starting from the SW then finishing from the NE. The cutest thing was the mini hurricane that came thru Thursday night at 10pm, dropped the barometer to 29.6. I swear the winds were between 50 and 55 mph from 10 to 11:30, but can only confirm 47 mph. Imagine camping in that!! Well our camp didn't scale, but we survived.

Forgot to mention. The V got the pleasure because my neighbors boat ended up with a bad starter (covered under warranty) and is sitting in Bass Pro's yard for that, the busted pump and various repairs.
The islands generator for the managers residence and the cooler went out also Thursday night, so he had to ruff it too. We had to abandon a trio of hunters in their boat at the dock when leaving Sunday. Their motor failed to start, we tried everything, even gave them my batteries to try to start the engine to no avail. Our boat (as was everyone elses) was so loaded we wouldn't be able to tow them the 15 miles to the nearest ramp. THIS IS NOT AN EASY HUNT!!

I can't wait!!!!!
I have already let it be known throughout my house I will be attending this hunt(the primitive one anyway) next year with no exceptions! I'm really excited....did you guys quarter and ice the deer when the cooler went down? Any hog sign?
I've never been the "drop me off at my stand" hunters....I think hunts like this make you a better hunter. Thanks for these awsome post.......I reread the old Wassaw post once a week. Damn it's good to be back on the coast.
