We try to prepare for the seasons appropriately on the Carolina Outdoors & one of those seasons is already in affect across both Carolinas.  It’s deer season in the Carolinas.
Ridr Knowlton has recently been featured in a recent Gray’s Sporting Journal magazine, he’s the co-host of the adventure travel podcast Untamed Pursuits, & the author of The Guides – A Collection of Untamed Stories as well as a Storyteller alum at the sponsor, Jesse Brown’s, Charlotte’s local outfitter store.

Show Highlights:

• Preparation for the season.  Scouting the land, trail cams, & getting your gear ready
• Scent-free clothing helps mask “human scent” when your in the woods.  Visual, Noise, & Odor are important to manage.
• Set-up for where to hunt is important & tree-stand & harness safety are important
• Hunter & Gun Safety are the most important part of a hunter
• Deer season in both Carolinas mean 3 different things.  Archery—that’s right bow and arrow Muzzleloader or Blackpowder season, which are antique guns, and then rifle season which opens in NC’s east in mid October & central and west in mid-November. Here are the Regulations for Deer Season 2024 in SC.
