More Backyard Bucks, QDMA Banquet And LowcountryHunting Update
Posted by lowcountryhunting on August 6, 2008
With opening day just a little over a week away, I wanted to show everyone how bad our local deer are flaunting their current safety during daylight hours. I had a bunch of my work/hunting clothes hanging out back overnight, and when I went to get them yesterday at 1pm, a yearling buck and young doe were scrounging for corn scraps under them. And this is why I always laugh when I see people putting up the white, plastic grocery bags around their gardens… because after just a night or two, the deer know that they are no danger and just eat right around them. And don’t forget we also have a yard full of dogs that protect the corn.
As for the lowcountryhunting team, we have a big wedding this weekend up in Virginia. So unfortunately we will miss the QDMA REACH banquet that I have helped organize for Saturday. But the event isn’t about us, it is to support the QDMA mission and philosophy, and we were already committed to this job, so we will just have to deal with it. However I hate that we will miss it when it is going to be such a great event. We even just got word that QDMA founder Joe Hamilton will be attending as well as Mark Buxton, former QDMA deer manager of the year. So I hope everyone that can attend will. I truly believe that you will not be dissapointed.
As a matter of fact, we had a meeting last night to work out all of the last minute details, and it has come together perfectly. We will be having a deer scoring contest, where if you guess the closest to the gross B&C score of a nice lowcountry buck, you will win a gift certicate for a head mount from an award-winning taxidermist. We will also have a minnow race, where you can bet on your fish to outswim the rest of the pack to win a tower treestand as well as a guess the number of corn kernals in the jar to win a 30 gallon spin feeder complete with corn. And, like I posted about before, we will have several great hunts offered including a ladies-only hunt from Lightsey Hunting Club for Ladies, a deer hunt from Paradise Valley hunt club and the one from Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge that will be filmed for the Outdoor Channel. We will also have tons of stuff to raffle off and on the silent and live auctions such as deer/hunting prints, hunting grear and lots of guns! Like I said, you don’t want to miss it.
I will be back late Sunday night, but have to go right back to the deer season preparation grind on Monday, so my next post will be on Tuesday. Then I look forward to letting everyone in on the work that I am currently doing. And with the season in, I should have lots to write about, allowing me to get back to my usual posting frequency.
PS You may also want to keep an eye out for the next South Carolina Sportsmen; word has it that there is an excellent article on patterning big bucks with your trailcam, and they speak to an “expert” from the hunting blog world that lives in Garnett 
Thanks for reading!

Jeff I just wonder who that “expert” could be. I’m sorry that you have to miss an event that you’ve poured so much of yourself into, but you have the right attitude about the weekend. Blessings

I’m wondering who that “expert” could be as well. I’m still real curious about this outdoor job that you are getting paid for. I want to know it is and where I can find one.

Hmm, who in the heck is this expert fella anyhow? I heard it’s just a buncha bums that occupy the outdoor blog world. Well, this bum will have to tune in, I spose.
Enough with rubbing it in…I mean it just isn’t fair to use this line on us: “My work/hunting clothes.”
