Tanner In The Morning

Tega Cay Approves Sterilization Of 200 Deer

Author Chris Allen

Everywhere I look, I see deer. And you will see them at all times of day. This can present a problem in populated areas. Because of the overpopulation of the animal, Tega Cay approves sterilization of 200 deer. It’s all in an effort to reduce the numbers and make things safer for both man and beast.

Tega Cay Approves Sterilization of 200 Deer

The city of Tega Cay unanimously approved the sterilization of 200 deer at Monday night’s meeting. According to our source, wsoctv.com“,the council authorized an organization called White Buffalo to submit the necessary documents and permits to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources in the city.” White Buffalo would actually do the sterilizations.

This is When It Starts

Tega Cay approves sterilization of 200 deer. And this is supposed to start in early November and also in late October. So what happened to the culling efforts? A decision on that will be made in September. I know personally how scary it is to hit a deer and how dangerous it can be.

My Personal Experience With Car Meets Deer

About ten years ago I had a one on one with a deer. I was traveling along South Boulevard around 5:30 on my way to work on the Tanner in the Morning show. We producers have to get here pretty early. Luckily I was only going about 35 miles per hour when a deer ran in front of me. It felt like I had hit a Mack truck. The deer however lived to do deer things another day. The vehicle stunned the animal but he got up and ran off with little damage. And little damage was done to the car. I am thankful it ended that way.

South Carolina Is Home To Several Of The Nation's Top Rated Seafood Restaurants

Oh, seafood. When it is good- it’s good, when it’s bad though it’s bad. It can also be a little pricey. So if you are planning on indulging in some fresh delicious seafood you want to know that it’s going to be worth the money. And luckily for you, we know some spots. It’s no secret that South Carolina is home to some great seafood. Especially in the Charleston area which is known (and often recognized) for its culinary scene. So when Yelp published their top 100 seafood spots I knew we’d find at least a few restaurants mentioned. But what are the best top-rated South Carolina seafood restaurants? Keep reading to find out.

What I found after skimming the list is that the Palmetto State scored 6 restaurants on the list including one that made the top 5. And spoiler alert they aren’t all in Charleston or the surrounding area. This is good as it means great seafood delicacies are accessible no matter what part of the state you call home. And whether it’s raw oysters, fried seafood platters, crab cakes, lobster rolls, the Lowcountry classic shrimp and grits, or anything else you can find it in the state!

The Best South Carolina Seafood Restaurants

To create this list Yelp identified businesses in their seafood category that had an abundance of reviews praising the term “seafood”. From there restaurants were ranked using factors like the total rankings. Only 10 restaurants per state we able to be included in this list to ensure “geographical diversity”.

It’s now past daylight savings time, it’s warm, and what better way to celebrate that than some fresh seafood, a cold drink, and perhaps a patio? Your next spot to do just that is waiting. So give this list featuring the best of the best South Carolina top-rated seafood restaurants a look. You can view the full Yelp list here. Did your favorite make the list? Let us know!
