In SC chasing velvet. Its 90+ degrees Hot, and Humid, with storms in the forecast, but hopefully will have some luck. I've never taken a whitetail in velvet. Will be alternating set ups with each sit. I have a couple of new broadhead models that haven't shed blood yet. Hoping to change that over the next few evenings. Thank God for Thermocells! Mosquitos are swarming.

I don't miss hunting Aug. 15 in South Carolina. I did do it when I live there back in the mid 60's and 70's and that was with a gun too.

Was actually 78 last Thursday morning when I was out hunting coastal SC. Heats up fast but have to learn to move and climb slowly, stay in shady spots and wish the seasons were later. :)

Wonder if Ray is field testing an undisclosed prototype?

I hog hunted last week and it was brutal if the wind laid, and I was gun hunting. No way I would bow hunt in this heat, I'd smell worse than the damn hogs !
Actually, it wasn't hunting, it was an execution........

Deer still move here early season despite the heat. I tend to hunt agricultural field edges or trails leading to/from them this time of year.

I'm surprised to see a buck out of velvet so early, especially that far south. Is this the norm for that area?

This year I'm seeing more bucks out of velvet sooner than past few seasons. Not sure why that is the case. I'm sure folks more knowledgeable than myself would know what factors cause them to get hard horned earlier.
