Deer season comes in on August 15 here in SC. The weather over the last week has been pushing 100 degrees. We had a cold front come through on Sunday (the high was 85)so I spent some time in the woods. Here are the results!
My bow is a Zipper Nitro 64" Longbow 50#@29". the arrows are Carbon Express "predator" shafts with a 200 grain Grizzly Instinct Broadhead.

Way to go Benjy!
Nice one Benjy! Was that on the new lease?
Great Shot Benjy. I cant imaging hunting in 85 degree weather. But then again I live up in the arctic. lol.
Nice Buck!
Nice way to get things started!! I cannot imagine hunting in that heat. You all are better men than I that hunt down there. Even the deer looks shaved with that SHORT hair. Deer here in Michigan have 2-3" of hair come November.
Nice and unusual buck. Congrats!!
gotta love that lighted nock path flight
Nice
The deer slayer is loose!
Way to kick off the season!!!! Great Job!!!
Nice work Brother and only a few months after having your ticker fixed!
good job!
That a nice early season SC buck, Benjy Interesting rack.
I remember those mid and late August hunts but don't miss them.
I hope you wore layers with those unseasonable cool temps you were hunting in. It was 52 here tis morning. :D
Will you post a pic of the broadhead you used?
Way to Go Benjy, That is the way to open up the season! So I guess you kind of like Bill's new 3-blade?.....lol
Thanks for sharing your hunt with us!!!
great Job! I know it is tough to hunt and film. Thanks for sharing!

Look out whitetails, Benji is turbo charged now!
Good shooting buddy.
Bill
Well done as always Benjy!
Congrats!!!
Joe, This was in my "Honey Hole" here close to my house. It is the Best deer spot that I have ever had here in SC. I had 2 of these guys with the messed up antlers running around last year and they never gave me a shot.
Heck Charlie & Bobby, 85 was cool after the last 3 days that were pushing 100! Pat has it right, I wear layers, I wear a ASAT leaf-a-flage suit over my short pants, short sleeve shirt, some face paint and snake boots.

TJ, my new pacemaker is working great! Didn't miss a beat through the whole thing!
I am very pleased with the broad head. It was easy to sharpen and all I did was glue in a 100 grain steel broad head adapter so it matched my point weight! As you can see in the video, great arrow flight and it looks great covered in red!
