We have a lot of coyotes here in Ga now, but it’s nothing like that.

I can’t believe that you can self video and successfully hunt with trad gear. Hat’s off!

They make heavy duty plastic boot bags for farmers to wear into chicken coops. They slip over your boot and stay open at the top. You wouldn’t believe how much heat they hold into your foot. It’s like having your own greenhouse. I’ve never worn them in a stand, but I imagine if you didn’t have to stand up and move around too much, they would work perfectly.

You should’ve left them on some rub lines back at the point.

Bugs like me more. I pulled off five ticks and my forearms got destroyed by sand gnats any time it got over 50 degrees.

Also got this beautiful hen one morning last week.

Actually got a lot of pics but the camera has been out over a scrape for three weeks.

This is a wonderful thing. I’d much rather hunt with a bunch of liberals (in fact I agree with their politics more than the average hunter I meet now anyway), than all the idiots you see on a typical hunting forum. It’s terrifying where this lifestyle is heading. At least this is a glimmer of hope.

I only saw one boar and he ran through my narrow opening too quickly to get a shot Joe…

I absolutely fell in love with that place! I should kick myself for being a Georgia native, and not exploring my own state’s national treasures……………..

I plan on going back every year I can from here on out.

Had a great time sharing camp with y’all Sean!!

Best hunt of the year by far for me this season!!

Congrats again on your deer!

Like I said before, you’ve become quite the trad hunter, and I’m envious of your abilities in the field.:wink:

Post some of your photos Tommy. You took some great ones! There are a few people on this site comtemplating going next year so try to whet their appetites.

Thanks again for the kind words. Again, unnecessary. Hopefully a big lion will give me an easy, low, shot in February because I will need it.

Gotta love the island hunts. If I were to kill a good buck early next year, I might have to try the primitive weapons hunt at wassaw. It would be great to hunt the islands with a flintlock!!

Welcome aboard. Great reading by mr petersen or my thomas. I recently read a book by reg darling that really spoke to me about traditional archery and hunting ethics. It’s called “coyote soul, raven heart”. I highly reccomend it.

It largely affects how loud the bow is as well.

Seeing these makes me miss camp, and mooching Bunyan’s Sierra Nevadas.8) Though I’ve yet to even draw back on a deer there, there’s something surreal about sitting over the palmettos listening to the waves crash……Hopefully I’ll be back in camp next year. Some 8 wt fly rods need to be on the boat for redfish and trout in the grass.

Lackey posted a pile of em on the hunt club website. Hope you do come back. I’ll likely do this one over again rather than the pa opener.

Crabbing and fishing is also very good in the canal between blackbeard and its southern cousin, sapelo island.

I talked to some guys fishing for trout who had limited out the day before right near the main dock and I’ve seen guys hammering sheepshead right under the main camp dock.

Twenty minutes before I shot this deer, a bald eagle passed over the savannah right in front of my tree. Everybody in our group has seen eagles all three years I’ve been there.

One last picture for now. This was my view one evening when we went on a long “nature hike” up the eastern edge of the island and decided to post on the ground in the dunes over some heavy deer trails.

This is the typical coloration of the island deer. They usually have a very dark chocolate to black stripe down the spine. One I saw was darker than a moose, but had more white on its feet, throat, and eye rings than a regular eastern whitetail.
