    Yes, I wanted the benne to have zero competition when it was young, so I sprayed before it emerged. Planted on a Saturday, sprayed Monday, and had germinated benne Wednesday.

    I’ll second that. I read where deer didn’t like it. Bullshit ate mine up like soy beans last year!

    Try Des-X insecticidal soap. Apply every two to three weeks. It has worked great for me on our unfenced fields. I did two applications on iron and clay peas last year which allowed them to get waist high before the deer turned onto them. Kind of expensive but a shit load cheaper than replanting!

    that's a lot of benne! Looks good. Planted tight as crap!

    Pro tip: At the end of the season put a tarp in the bed of your truck and back through the standing strips. You will have enough seed for years to come. I need about 20 lbs too.

    Charleston County. I’m 99.9% sure he’s the Charleston county record but never got him officially scored. He grosses around 170 but deductions take him to 148.5” if I remember correctly.

    I watched him for 3 years - from 4.5 to 5.5 he really took off. I waited til conditions were perfect to hunt him. Late October (peak of the rut), new moon, low tide (I hunt on the marsh), and low 50s temp. I caught him slipping back from one end of the farm to his bedding area. Saw him about 250 yards away and started shaking immediately. I knew I couldn’t shoot him without him getting closer.

    I started grunting at him to get him to turn, but it didn’t immediately work - he was trying to get downwind. Luckily it was impossible for him to get downwind, so eventually he turned and came in on a string. I shot him at about 100 yards and watched him take off. He stopped one time before the tree line, and I shot him again. He dropped dead at the second shot.

    Here’s a trail cam video about a month before I shot him. He busted that G4 on the left side and also had a hole in his right ear. Taxidermist thinks the hole came from the fight that busted his G4 because it lined up perfectly with one of the stickers coming off the base on that side. My other theory is that a poacher attempted to spotlight him from the road and shot him through the ear.

    That is a hammer. I saw it at the taxidermist. It dwarfed everything in there. And I know you cutman.
