I've done from Branchville (South of Orangeburg) to the coast before. When I lived in Charleston. It was awesome. That black water does something to the soul.I use to what to get in the South Edisto at the family land and take it all the way to the coast
Do it, you won’t regret it and everyone is hiring so don’t stress over a job.the guys are retired game wardens, one of their sons is a professional fishing and hunting guide. they come down to NC every year to deer hunt for a couple weeks at thanksgiving because one of them is originally from NC. My buddy went for the salmon run for a couple weeks when he graduated college. they keep telling us they aren't getting any younger and were stupid for not coming now when we got free places to stay, eat and people to guide us. But its hard to be starting a career and then walk in one day and say im taking 8 weeks off see ya later.

Watch them get married

Anything more than that would be gravy.

I topped out a limiter deleted Gix 1000, pretty close to 200. Did it twice. I wouldn’t ride a sportbike these days, I’m over it.Wheel Ouray, CO ......Black Bear pass, Imogene Pass, Ouray perimeter trail, PoughKeepsie Gultch, Engineer Pass to name a few (leaving next week to check this one off! )
Rubicon trail, just because I have heard about it all of my life, seen pics/videos and want to add it to my been there done that list.
Overall I have been blessed and been able to check off most all of my bucket items in my life. With really only one left, I am sure I will get it checked off sooner that later. God willing of course!

Essentially how we are tackling it too. We both work full time with good careers and insurance. Still doing property work now with hopes of the first small herd starting late this year or early next year. Then also trying to figure out every way we can without having to use grants and programs that may tie us into things if a market was to fizzle out and we needed to adjust.trying to get to a point that i can financially afford doing it, but its in the works. its not the cost so much of going its the cost of everything that still has to be paid while ive got no income coming in

DO IT. we have some guys at work that have cattle and they make decent money selling full, 1/2 and 1/4 cows. IF you can find a USDA butcher to cut for you and resale the profit only goes up.I think we are going to try and process some and sell it as grass feed maybe do a little grain to finish them, since I can price it not much more than the grocery store.
