If your handle wasn't the Conservative and they didn't like your tee shirt. Some of these fellows would write ugly things about cyber scouting.

He's not cyber-scouting. He's asking for advice about how to learn how to hunt vast public land acreage. I've seen cyberscouting; this isn't it. I'm forever indebted to folks who took the time to tell me generalities like this.

Conservative,try this-

1- Get a map of the WMA. Call DNR in Columbia if you have to, they will mail you one.

2- refer to my post above

3- hit the woods, if scouting during legal hunting times do not park near anyone, go some where else, come back later. Wear a orange hat and orange vest when in the woods.

Don't let anyone discourage you from hunting the government woods. Be smart, don't make it easy for a theif. I grew up in the 80s hunting SNF around Salem Crossroads and killed a bunch of deer there.I've also killed many from the Francis Marion. Times have changed and deer may be a little harder to kill but they are there.

I've spent the last 10-12 years hunting clubs, I gave it up last year due too much politics and other bullshit. I'm going back to the government woods myself. Each one is a trade off but at the end of the day a 90 lb cow forn killed out of the government woods eats just as good as a 8pt off of a corn pile.

Good luck
