Where are you located in SC?


In my area (southeast SC) I am generally hunting and targeting a pretty small block...generally 10-300 acres depending on the spot. For the most part I'm trying to bring them out of a clearcut or thick area to something more open where I can see and shoot with night vision. Scouting is key in terms of knowing your approach options for different wind directions. Hunting pressure on them in my area is slim to none other than me, so I don't get too wrapped up in the wind direction as long as it isn't blowing directly into the cover I think they are in. Ideally I look for it to be blowing from the cover out into the field. For the most part they come straight to the call when they do respond to it. If they do circle, it's within about 10 yards or less of the call. I do get busted from time to time when they make a big circle or are already downwind of my set up, but it's so thick here that you can't do anything about it anyway.
