Friends (I used to say "guys" but I think that is an insult to Dani!),
I live in southern South Carolina. The two days after Thanksgiving, I kicked up at least 15 woodies in an area I hunt, on both days.
That second day was the last day of the early split season.
Now two weeks later we hunted the same area today on the first day of the second part of the season. Nada. Not a single woodie even seen.
This comes after the snow storm that swept through Alabama, Georgia and up the Middle Atlantic States. We did not get any of that snow and the temps were not lower than 40 here last night. It is forecast to get 33 degrees tonight.
But we did get between 2 and 3" of rain over the last few days.
Our question is this: did the woodies move further south or are they just feeding in a wider area due to all the rain? I know that woodies up north migrate but I didn't think that South Carolina woodies would migrate.
Your input?
