Burned it in tonight. I did the stove body first and then my wife helped me roll the chimney, and I did a second burn. Looks great. I have very few no dents or crinkles in either the chimney or the body. Whoo.
Granted, a Silver Tip is a pretty small tent but this stove absolutely blew...
I have a 12” lite outdoors stove w a baffle on the way. It’s going to go in a seek silver tip for 5 nights the second week in Jan.
I suspect I’m gonna find out real quick how much I like.
Oh that’s horrid. The poor young man, his parents and possibly wife. Gosh! Ohh, I hope he wasn’t married w kids.
I’m pretty sure a couple of folks had to be airlifted out this year didn’t they? I haven’t had time to confirm. My wife had a few calls from clients because they heard a hunter...
Well the season is a wrap. I absolutely got my butt kicked all over the mountains this year.
I would suppose I’m somewhere around 75 miles in this season. I hope @Swamp Fox this running account of my season allays any concerns this thread was gonna somehow entice out-of-staters to come...
I found some 3 to 5 day old scat this afternoon in a new spot, gonna try it tomorrow. There may be fresher there, but I didn’t wanna mess up tomorrows hunt; I really have no idea.
Truth be told, it won’t be a lick of skill involved if I get one tomorrow, it’ll be straight up blessing from my...
I’m pretty sure every state that bear hunting is legal is a better choice than South Carolina. It’s got to be the lowest percentage bear hunt in the country, still hunting season that is.
I haven’t run into many still hunters , I’ve run into a bunch of freaking hikers and dog hunters.
crap!!!!!
I saw this very thing last year. I was coming out at about 9 o’clock at night from way up the mountain, and I caught a party running their dogs; I called DNR and they said that very thing , “its hard to prove because they can claim their coon hunting.”
Edit. @Bernie. Somehow I...
Crap boys. 47 miles and week old scat is all I have to show for my effort. 😂😂😂. It’s been so bad all one can do is laugh.
I’m not giving up however, I still have Monday left for regular season.
I do have dog week but would be hard to justify taking more days off work with no prospects...
The state gov is advertising all over the nation, and people are flooding in.
Every hiker I saw, save three young boys from Columbia, were out of staters. One man planned his trip for six months??? What kinda of voodoo marketing get a fellow to plan hiking the upstate state of SC six months...
It’s been rough going so far this year. 40+ miles and zero fresh sign. The best I’ve found is week old scat, and I found that today. Haha
I’ll say this, there are people all over game zone 1 that are not from here. I was on the foothills trail camping yesterday, I saw 15 people, none of...
I used a model 83 Freedom Arms chambered in 454 Casull as my big game weapon for 20 plus years. I wouldn’t have switched had I still been able to clearly see the front sight.
I finished a 308 this year with the intention of using the platform for pretty much every one of my future hunts...
