I have been visiting lots of other hunting blogs lately trying to get an idea of what all is out there as well as gathering ideas for my own. There are many great ones out there, and I have been very impressed by the amount of information they all contain. So for my readers, I [...]

Big Oak produces!
Posted in Lowcountry, cubbedge hill, trophy whitetails, velvet bucks on August 27, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The last few days, the deer actually moved a bit. Shane saw several nice bucks heading in to the corn at the big oak and killed a nice 162 pound 8 point Saturday afternoon. However C.J. shot first, taking out a young turkey killer going for a drink in the sink holes between the Clover field and [...]
Another Gun Control Nut
Posted in Hunting News on August 25, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I know that the Toledo Blade (Ohio) is not one of our Lowcountry newspapers, but I still thought that a post about them was warrented since it effects all gun owners. The Blade’s Dan Simpson, a retired diplomat and member of the editorial boards of The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, wrote the most anti-American editorial I [...]
New Bucks on Camera

C.J. and Shane came up yesterday, and we hunted Cubbedge Hill last night… just a few does and fawns unfortunately, and a couple of unidentified ones. The deer just have not been moving very good, but they said the deer were definately out last night by the number of fresh tracts this morning. C.J. sat at [...]
Bowhunters are the Real Hunters???
Posted in Hunting News, Lowcountry, deer hunting on August 24, 2007 | 2 Comments »
So says Kenny Kearse of The South Carolina Bowhunters Association in last week’s Hampton County Guardian. Kearse is the vice president of the SCBA, and he was quoted extensively in the special hunting pullout that comes out every year on opening week.
In the article entitlted “The Real Deal.”, Kearse advocates bow hunting while putting down [...]
Moose Gas Hurting Environment
Posted in Hunting News on August 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Fox News reports : Researchers in Norway claim a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of methane a year, equivalent to the amount of CO2 caused by an 8,077-mile car trip, der Spiegel reported.
Norway’s national animal releases methane through burping and flatulence, as do cows, considered more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide.
There are [...]
Opening Week

Thank goodness for C.J.’s dad, Chip. And the fact that he knows how to hunt!!! He managed to salvage us from a very disappointing opening week by paying attention to the cutover behind #7 on the Blount Place and killing a nice 8 point this morning.
Many hunters would have just watched the road, where he did [...]
Hot!Hot!Hot!

Man oh Man… it is just crazy hot out there! I just finished another afternoon battling the heat while knocking back some branches. ‘Cause I don’t want anyone to have any excuses for why they missed:) Also got a few new chairs out and tried to evict some of our squatters with stingers. Just two more days [...]
Big buck and big problems…
Posted in cubbedge hill, deer hunting, velvet bucks on August 8, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I finally got our septic tank issues taken care of, but now I have Jeep problems. Yesterday after loading up Cubbedge Hill, my truck blew a tire and had a wire harness fire all at the same time! That left me high and sweaty on the Webb avenue for several hours until Jamie could come [...]

Peanut field bucks
I saw these bucks last week in a neighbors peanut field, with plenty of shooting light left. If our big bucks will come out this early during opening week, we will be in good shape…Because with the full moon this week, daylight deer movement has really been slow.
And if you saw these pics last week in an email, [...]
Thieves Suck! Poachers Suck!
Posted in cubbedge hill, poachers, thieves on August 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Once again, the local criminal element has tresspassed on private property and committed grand larceny. The clubhouse has had the one new AC unit removed carefully as well several high end power tools.
I am so stupid, because I even went by the house yesterday when I went to put out corn, and the back door was [...]
Early Morning at the House

Check this nice 8 point out by the house on Cubbedge Hill… He’s just grabing a quick bite before heading back to bed for the day.
As for what’s going on – the deer are really hitting the soybeans. J.O. and Jamie put out 50 bushels of soybeans and another 50 bushels of grain sorgum between [...]
Last Week’s Big Bucks
Posted in cubbedge hill, deer hunting, velvet bucks on August 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
In case you did not see the big bucks from the cameras last week, here they are again. One or two of them are in the new batch (other post), but several giants are unique. The huge buck with all of the mass is really getting around… he has now shown up on the camera [...]
Big Velvet Bucks

I just finished putting out several thousand pounds of corn… I am beat! In case you haven’t noticed, it’s hot out there. However I did manage to control my heatstroke long enough to check my camera and both of CJ’s.
Wow… the giants have been out roaming around willy nilly! Cubbedge Hill had quiet a few [...]
