Do you want to kill a trophy, or a just any buck? What kind of hunt are you looking for?
We start Aug 15th here in S.C. Quality management has really improved our herd in the last 10-15 yrs, licenses are OTC and were definitely in driving range. Youre not going to shoot a Booner here but a 125-130" deer is very doable. The early season hunts are pretty predictable. Afternoon hunts over crops (beans)for bucks in velvet are available for pretty reasonable prices.
Missouri would be my next choice for a rifle hunt. One of the few midwest states that allow rifle hunting during the rut.
