Thanks Brian- will do! Got the coffee going at 4 and checked the weather - radar looked like a band was going to hit right around daybreak. But some are going out .................looks worse to the North.
Will update as I can. Gonna miss the evening hunts the next 2 days due to tennis match and family day at daughter’s college. But I’m sure I will get text updates to pass along.

We try to make the 5c deer hunt better every year. This year we’ve brought in our own tracking dog (just kidding folks). She is cute though!

Hey Rut. Are those the new “snake crocs” you are sporting?
From: horsethief51
22-Sep-22
WOW, Sam got a big deer and , well, Toren must be a good shot. LOL.
From: Rut Nut
22-Sep-22
LOL Brian! Yes- the new “Hecs” snake Crocs that emit an electro-magnetic field hat repels snakes! The very latest in snake protection. I am “field testing” them! ;-)
Yes- Sam said it was a heck of a drag. Toren not so much! ;-). But everybody complimented him on his shooting ability! And I complimented him on his decision to shoot and reminded him what the farmers say: “IF IT HAS A MOUTH..,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SHOOT IT! : )

My daughter’s tennis match at Alvernia college got cancelled about 5 minutes after I left camp, so I rerouted to the farm my 2 partners are hunting.(had a feelling ;-) I got there a little late so I’m set up in the corn across from the woodlot they are in. Hopefully if any get by them I can intercept them entering the corn.

Way to go Rob! 4 deer on the board and all 4 being donated to HSH.................that’s what we like to see- THANKS guys! : )
It was VERY windy this morning! My partners both saw deer but nothing in range. I heard one of the hunters had their bow blow out of the tree and break. They are going home to get another bow.
Hopefully the wind dies down tonight.

I’m hunting a different woodlot at the landowner’s request. Bob and Dan are in the same spots as Thursday/Friday. Bob had one come in and bed 10y behind him in brush. It finally got up and Bob put her back down!
I had 3 deer just inside woods so I stopped there and picked a tree. Hopefully didn’t push them too far and they come back eventually!

Sorry folks, it was a hectic last couple hours! I got a text that somebody needed help tracking/dragging 2 deer on a nearby property. So we enlisted the help of a couple other guys nearby and sent in the cavalry. Always gets exciting when we get those calls. By the time we got there the landowner saw us driving in and asked if they got one. We said: “No-2!” The landowner was thrilled and opened 2 gates for us and we drove right to the deer and thru them on a hitch hauler. The hunters were grateful for the help and thanked us profusely! I just said- THAT’S WHAT WE DO! Just glad to add to the totals!

So final tally tied the record for deer shot at 15 and due to some VERY generous hunters we smashed the record for deer donated to HSH with 15!

We had 58 hunters and 18 of them were newcomers. So we actually shot the same total number of deer (15) as last year with 9 less hunters. Good job folks!

Great job to all the Hunters. Great job to all those who put this event on every year. HSH is always in need of donations.
From: Rut Nut
25-Sep-22
Thanks Brian. It was amazing to see how generous folks were this year! Our previous record was 9 deer donated- so 15 is amazing! And we will also be making our usual $500 monetary donation(from the registration fees) so HSH should be very happy!
According to the HSH calculation we just donated enough meat for approximately 1500 meals- WOW!

Great job guys. Great results, and thanks for putting an event like this on, not only for the landowners but for the UBP and it's continuing effort to thin the herds on the SRA's. Excellent.

Thank you 5C Hunt Committee!! I enjoy this hunt each year, and catching up, if even briefly, with everyone! It was tough hunting with that wind, but Saturday was the day. I didn't get to draw my bow, but Amy was able to put one in the cooler last night. Congrat's to her!! I am very tired tonight, but full of anticipation for this deer season. Best of luck to all of you!

Congratulations to all the successful hunters this weekend! Well done! Sorry I couldn’t be there to share the experience this year. Thanks for all who posted the updates so those who couldn’t be there could still follow along. Good luck to all in the upcoming regular season!
From: Rut Nut

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I told the guys on the committee it is a LOT of work to put this on every year, but when you see what can be done when good groups of people come together for a common goal, it is simply amazing! All the good will that is generated from this event- from the cooperating landowners, the hunters, the local HSH butchers and the food banks.....................it puts a smile on my face that lasts for days every year! : )
Thanks to all the hunters, landowners, butchers and HSH for making this happen!
And thanks to those who helped with setup and tear down of camp and cleanup after the pig roast!
And I hope everyone has a successful season as the 5C Hunt this year!
