South Carolina Trophy Whitetail Deer Hunts
Big Buck Hunting Way Down Upon the Little Salkehatchie River
A. J. Parker, a lab tech at a Savannah, Georgia. hospital smiled easily when asked about his recent South Carolina trophy whitetail deer hunts.|

"You wouldn't think it," he said, "but SC ranks as one of the best deer hunting states in the country. In fact most years the tally of deer harvested ranks the state right up there with the best of them." "I believe that's due in part to having the longest deer hunting season of any state. Our rifle season runs from mid August through to the end of the year," Parker admitted. "After several years of drought, the past couple of years have seen a return to more normal rain fall. Still the whitetail numbers are down somewhat. Even in counties that consistently produce a decent harvest like Orangeburg Fairfield and Colleton. But you can't hold this ole boy out of the woods. No sir!" |
"This past season I noticed plenty of scrapes, rubs and droppings," he said. "But the problem is when food supplies are ample, like this past year when there were plenty of acorns, deer movement slows way down. When that happens hunters like me just see fewer shooter bucks."
"When those kind of conditions persist being in the right place at the right time is more important than ever," he said knowing he was stating the obvious..
"Yet most years any spot you find numerous scrapes close together is a good place to set up your stand."
"Yes, myself I prefer to conduct my South Carolina deer hunts from a stand. Give me a solid old tree to set up in, some good scrapes nearby and I'm a happy hunter."
"So pack the bug spray and come on down, ya hear?," he added beaming. Exhibiting your typical gracious Southern Hospitality. "Nothing like experiencing South Carolina trophy whitetail deer hunts first hand, you know."
