But, it was important not to make unpopular decisions, even at the expense of the wildlife they are sworn to protect.

    Thank goodness we didn't have a 1-1 ratio. Gemini crickets
    Those poor deer.... let's help them out by killing every doe that slips past where we could get that 1:1 ratio bo..

    We are up the road a bit from 3 Rivers down Cate Road and we seem to have more deer than last year. The Wateree WMA next to us has them And they have the pigs.

    We usually don't see pigs much until a little later in the season. But, there is one large ass monster that is still making the same routes he did last year. Balls bigger than basketballs....a night walker.

    Big pigs require lots of corn piles to stay big.

    He is like glenn he eats (a lot, he isn't worried about clean) and bangs often.

    We are loaded with deer next to Weetee, close to Andrews. The thing helping us is the fact we have a ton of oaks and acorns. Our neighbors do not...

    Seen very few hogs though.

    601 Processing has reported more and bigger bucks and does this year compared to last. That's just down the road from you and that's where I'll take that big ass hog when I do get him.
