what the heck is a gorp pass?
Bag of trail mix- good ol raisins and peanuts.
Dont forget the Rattle snakes and yellow jackets
We also neglected to mention expensive, non-lead ammunition requirements and the always tantalizing possibility of stumbling into an illegal dope grow.Corp pass. He typed it wrong. lol
Georgia outdoor recreational Pass. Apparently georgia has dropped it now. I buy sportsmans license so did t realize.
I just got back from Edisto and I was thinking about how early the SC deer season starts. Wow. I can't imagine hunting in that heat and humidity. I'm sure I would do it if I lived there though just to try and kill a velvet buck.
I have killed a few velvet bucks...I usually go to the stand with 2 thermocells and at least 2 frozen bottles of water...I keep the frozen water bottles under my arm pits till they thaw by then my water bottle is empty so I usually drink those too...luckily we have storms/clouds most evenings this time of year so the cloud cover is much appreciated...its ruff when it's 95 degrees 80% humidity and full sun.
Lol just know they are a pain to take care of I got lucky mine fit in a small freezer I just left it in there for 9 months I think it was and it freeze dries it it’s still in my dads garage over 10 years later in relatively good shape I spray it with permethrin from time to time it’s held well but it’s had some damage from the years I heard having a real taxidermist do them is expensive.
Velvalock is your friend.
Never even heard of this until now, a little late for me but I’m gonna look it up now.
You pick your evenings, sit in the shade, and hopefully there is a breeze. A thunderstorm about an hour before dark that drops the temps really gets them moving. I like early season, we have a lot of ag and the deer are very predictable. I’ve killed a lot of deer wearing shorts, a Columbia fishing shirt, and a pair rubber boots with the tops rolled down. Thermacells were a game changer.
