    Thermacell and mosquitos lately

    I have used thermacells for the last few years and don't bother to go hunting without one here in SC. Skeeters are crazy without one. The last few years they have worked great. This year, it seems that the skeeters don't care about the thermacell any longer. It may help a bit, but not like it...

    Sasquatch

    We aren't supposed to have cougars here in SC but I have seen one from the climber slipping through the Switch Cane slipping up on some deer. It was unmistakable what I saw. Large cat (70lbs estimate), cougar brown color, tail as long as the body.

    Sasquatch

    I have been watching Steve for a few years now, even before he started talking about Sabe. Not sure if you heard the audio of the screams outside a home about 2 months ago, but I heard the same thing in the woods 2 weeks ago . Nothing in the woods or manmade could sound like this. The volume...

    Who’s freaking pumped?

    It's not that bad. 90 in the shade with a slight breeze isn't that bad. Just bring tons of water, thermacell, and snakeboots.

    We need the 2022 section opened. Deer season has started here in SC. Opening day was 15 Aug. Had my first buck out of the saddle; 7pt in velvet. Had a few does last season.

    Pigs near Charleston, SC.

    I didn't think of using a 22mag or .17 during squirrel season so I can be legal for pigs. I can get 2 extra months to hunt pigs in the Francis Marion.

    Poll - Distance from parking area you hunt

    It depends where I am hunting. I have spots that are 30 yards from a parking lot, 300 yard walks, 1000 yard walks, and some that are 2 miles in.

    Aider question

    I always wear snakeboots and I cannot ever get my foot into an aider. My foot bumps the rope and it will push against the tree every time. The loop was very wide and supported open with a fiberglass rod. I gave up on aiders.

    First 2 Sits:

    I like that video and definitely useful when I was learning how to use the system, but that angle in the thumbnail looks like it would be in the way to draw your bow.

    First 2 Sits:

    As for the pine sap, the platform really digs into the tree. I get sap on mine all the time since most trees here in lowcountry South Carolina is loaded with them.

    Show me how you pack climbing sticks!

    I am using four helium 20 inch sticks. I stack them in 2's, place the 2 sets beside each other and bind with 2 gear ties. I take one of the strap and wrap it around my hunting bag and reconnect to the versa button. Then tighten it down. They seem to stay in place pretty well.

    Anyone using a turkey vest for their gear

    I have been known to use a turkey vest if I am hunting from the ground during deer season. Which reminds me, I should do that tomorrow. Easy run and gun setup.
