Thanks bud i appreciate it! Also good advice on the smoker, i will remember that bud.

Lol i know its pretty common to waste pigs. But i never do, they are fantastic meat.

Yeah the grey squirrels are mostly in the oaks in late season were i live. You can definitely see along ways at times. But it works both ways, they can also see you from along ways and will find a good hiding spot pretty often. What area do you live in and what kinda forest do you hunt? We also have red and fox squirrels but they are typically found in the evergreen pine trees or atleast in mixed hardwood/pine stands. Thanks for checking out my video!

I would recommend just walking around several hardwood areas that are dropping acorns good and find the one with the most fresh deer dropping. Set up on that with the wind in your face and you should see deer. Good luck this season bud!

Lol it could have. He was way up there! Thanks bud

We got lucky and didn’t have any damage but there are alot of houses with trees on them and roads blocked even still. North Carolina seems to have had it the worst. Hopefully you didn’t get to much flooding down your way. I remember you are from the Pee Dee so i assume you have seem a good bit of flooding also. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers bud!

@@vangstii Thanks alot bud! That stream is open all year but a few do have closed seasons and delayed harvest. You can check the stocking information here www.dnr.sc.gov/fish/stocking/results.html

@@marktiffany6772 Thanks alot bud. In the early season if its hot still you can usually find them along some of the creeks. Once the acorns are really drooping they can be just about anywhere. My favorite time to hunt them is late season on a cold day, colder the better. They will be on sunny hillsides at sun rise pretty predictably. I definitely do worry about my boat but so far i have never had a problem, but most people on that lake have a much nicer boat than me already lol

Its made by gov tech. I have a couple of them and they are well made. Copy and paste this part number and it will pop up. HGTSW-40

@@meatseeker thank you! I love the channel by the way!

No problem bud, happy to help. Thanks alot, i really appreciate it!

@@LilYeshua I do take the cover off to clean it. Its not my favorite system honestly but i use a torque wrench style screw driver made by FAT and always put it back together to the same torque and i have never needed to rezero. I always check it because i dont actually trust it but its always right. Kinda amazing really.

@@meatseeker thanks. I've got one of those fat wrenches. What torque values do you use? I know that Henry uses star washers to keep the cover screws from backing out

@@LilYeshua I believe i do 10in lbs. Its not super tight actually. But i always tighten all the screws down to about 5-6 then finish them off at 10.

@@meatseeker thanks

@@LilYeshua I have it zeroed at 50 yards. You can definitely push that out to a 100 yard zero if you wanted but you will just get alittle bit of mid range rise.

@@brucemose4079 Its marlin 925m 22mag. I have had if for along time. Really good gun.

@@meatseeker ok, nice. I also have a marlin but it is a newer one - the xt22 mag. Yes your rifle looked similar so I asked. Nice vids I surely watch more of them happy hunting. :)

@@brucemose4079 Thanks alot bud. I have always had a good experience with marlins.

lol it definitely works

No. I ordered the kit from henrys website. The kit is made by govtec and you have to drill a hole in the butt stock and the magazine gets a clamp on the tube. I have a 22lr and the 22 mag with the same kit and it works great.

@@meatseeker ty

Thanks alot bud i appreciate it. Not much longer and we will be back in the national forest! Definitely some great hunting down there and some really pretty places. Good luck to you!

@@meatseekerI also hunt Sumter like you guys! Cool to see other SC Hunter’s in my area on KZbin! Good luck this season!

@Tolook Thanks alot bud. Good luck to you aswell. Sumter is definitely a nice place to hunt. I will check out your channel also!

@@meatseeker Looking to get into Sumter after this hurricane clears out! Be safe if you’re in it

@@Tolook Awesome! I really enjoy hunting sumter, been hunting it for years. Good luck to you also. I will check out your channel also. Definitely neat to see some local videos.

@@michaelmello9510 Thanks bud i appreciate it!

The south saluda is probably going to be the closest place to you. Look up the intersection of 11/276 the river goes under the road there and has parking and usually good fishing. The chattooga is the most beautiful river we have in my opinion, i usually fish off of burrels ford bridge road but there are a few other roads that cross it for access. If you look up scdnr trout stocking report that will tell all the rivers that have been stocked in the last week. they typically stock most of the streams so its also a list of all the rivers which will be helpful. Good luck!

i moved from greenville south carolina last year

The river follows highway 11 in greenville county between the intersection of 11/276 and the F mart store. Nice place and it usually has good fishing.

They really are good eating. Thanks for the sub bud. I will have to check out your videos. Looks like you have alot of creative catch cook videos!

I mostly make sausage with them and i use the fat trimmings from store bought pork butts to boost my fat content. I don’t blend any actual meat with my hogs just the fat. They have all been really good from up there.

@@meatseeker hope I can get one this winter!

You absolutely could. I have wanted to do that actually. I would recommend using the (remote) boat ramp which is the very first left hand turn when you enter the park. It will put you on the lake alot closer to were you wana be. Definitely keep an eye on the weather forecast though especially in the winter, that lake can get rough in a hurry. I would recommend doing that when the wind forecast is under 5mph.

@@meatseeker very helpful to know. I’ve been out on a lake when white caps start…no fun. Hope I see you out there!!!

Thanks alot bud. I really appreciate the offer. If your into long range there are some power lines in the gorge that you can see nearly a mile as they cut from top of the mountain down to the bottom and back up the next ridges. Pretty awesome to see if you never have, im more of a close range on foot guy. The closer the better, it gets me excited. I once had a hog running past me so close i actually had to lean back to keep the barrel off him. That experience was what made me decide to start making videos, it would have been awesome to have that on camera.

Nah its public land in south Carolina. just need a wma permit and a normal license.

@@meatseeker I’m just north of you and we don’t have them here. Yet

Most people would say your lucky lol. I love the pigs though, they seem to be expanding pretty steadily.

Thats great bud and i appreciate it. I dont know much about the nc game lands but the nc side of jocassee coming in from gorges state park in nc will most definitely have hogs. I believe the trail is called auger hole and i have heard mixed reviews about its condition. Some say its a nice easy trail and others will tell you its extremely difficult so i would recommend a day trip before season to check out the road conditions before you head off in there alone and in the dark.

@@meatseeker Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely look into that. Looking forward to more of your videos!

Thats awesome bud! I appreciate the offer.

@@johnparker9139 Im pretty particular about triggers and most of mine have been worked on. The henrys are actually surprisingly great just out of the box, very minimal creep (under 1mm for sure) and with a good poundage for what it is probably around 3.5-4lbs. I have been really impressed with the henrys.

Lol thats funny. I do remember thinking he was unusually clean when i was skinning him.

Thanks alot bud! The sc mountains are absolutely awesome to hunt, even when you dont get a deer or pig its still a great day just to see the mountains. The Pee Dee is also a beautiful area. Awesome black water rivers down there. Thanks for checking out my videos, i will definitely be making more.

I was also worried about that. Off camera i did search for a solid hour, checking every ditch and thicket around for blood. I couldn’t find any and im pretty good at finding sign usually. I don’t believe i did. Thanks for checking out the video bud!

It was a black tip shark. Probably about 45lbs, not a giant by any stretch but they sure do make a sporty first run!

@@meatseekernice man! good catch

Yeah its legal. Most of the land around the lake is considered wma land and all you need is a wma permit to hunt there. Its beautiful country. There are a few roads also for non boat hunters.

@@meatseekerdoes the lake get a lot of pedestrian traffic? Is there a season for pigs there or year round? I’m up in Asheville

Lol yeah some days are just like that unfortunately. Doesn’t matter what you throw at them. I have had days when even a worm gets ignored.

Thats awesome bud! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks bud! I processed him my self. Made sausage with him and it was fantastic honestly.

Thanks alot bud! I did process them my self. Made those two into nothing but smoked jalapeno summer sausage! Delicious.

Thanks alot bud! It definitely makes it easier at times. I don’t always do it, just depends on terrain and distance really.

Thanks bud! The absolute easiest way to catch them is a #8 bait holder hook and night crawlers with a small split shot sinker about 10in above the hook. My favorite way is using the inline spinner like rooster tails and similar. Also the local rivers are heavily dependent on stocking so if you can seem to find the fish within about an hour try a different stream. You can google scdnr trout stocking program and it will give you a list of the streams that were stocked and the dates of stocking for the previous week. Good luck bud!

I have scouted it before but never actually hunted it. Its a beautiful area though. I believe it actually has food plots also but they may get hunted a bit harder.

Its up next to highway 11 in northern greenville county. If you look up wild cat falls you can park across the street from the falls and will have easy public access to the stream. It typically has a good many trout

Both make great bait. Mullet is my favorite frozen bait shop bait, but i generally prefer to use a high low rig with 2 #4 hooks and 1/3 of a shrimp and a small piece of sand flea fishbites per hook and catch whatever is in the surf for bait. Typically blue fish and whiting.
