I started deer hunting in 1963 when I was 19 with a a 16 ga M12. so I've hunted nearly 50 years, the last 36 on a private farm on the Savannah river in Burke County. I quit counting kills when I broke 100 about 10 years ago but in the early days we shot everything we saw, I wish I could unkill some of the 2 year old 80" 6pts I shot in the '70's. I have lucky enough in business to afford good places to hunt, good guns and have made many good friends.
But things change. My friend/owner of the farm died last year , his children are going to sell the property & I can't make the $6,000,000 asking price.
I am getting old yesterday I carried 4 of my favorite rifles to the range. They all shoot sub 1" groups but I was getting 2+" groups. That will kill a deer but I shake too bad to shoot off hand.
I have a few other places to hunt but I don't know the land or many of the hunters on the leases. Those cold windy mornings are no longer fun.
It's just a good time to quit.
