Last day here in South Carolina

[Leo]

Well I only managed to get out for three hunts this year in South Carolina. I worked birds all three times and killed my second biggest ever South Carolina Tom. So in all the season was a resounding success.

I really wanted my buddy to nail a good one this year. I didn't want to crowd him. He's still got today so I pray it might still happen.

The Texas Rio hunt was fun. Only had an afternoon and morning hunt. I called three jake Rios into bow range (20yds). I didn't take the shot. Those are next years two year olds and the area I was hunting sees little pressure. Rios are a lot taller than our South Carolina birds. Worked some mature birds but their season is winding down there. Makes for very challenging hunting when they aren't hot and stupid with the breeding urge.

In all I had a fun season. Not a lot of actual hunting days but full of very rich experiences.

Sometimes you don't always get to hunt like you always get to but it sounds like you didn't all of the extra
