Dad, a buddy and I had a great hunt on Ossabaw last week with weather that was pretty much perfect for a hunt on the coast in October. There were about 50 hunters and about 45 deer taken. I'm guessing about 15-20 hogs were taken. Several 3 year old bucks taken and at least 1 4 YO. Gnats were never bad enough for me to use @Redman54 special oil but did have to use the Thermacell for the skeeters the last evening hunt.
Stayed out all day the first day and had more critters moving from 10:00-2:00 than I had in the morning or evening. Got a couple of hogs and a buck the first day. Did have 2 small bucks chasing, but did not see any older bucks chasing. Passed up a buck sneaking out of the thick stuff at 4:40 on day 2. Day 3 I missed a fast moving hog and got lucky as I was headed back toward the road just after 10:00 and crossed paths with another 8pt.
Did some fishing the day before the hunt and caught plenty of reds and trout for supper.
