Good Deer, Hog Movement Help End 2009

Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge really rapped up 2009 on a high note when freezing weather made the deer and hogs move for those brave souls that came to the lowcountry for some late-season hunting.

One of our successful hunters was Stan, down from Fort Bragg and just back from Iraq, who shot a great 10 point right out behind the lodge. Another veteran and successful hunter was our friend Greg Stube, who was back with us to hunt some hogs before he left to go to Dallas for the SCI show. And sure enough, Greg’s luck held and he took another great hog, a 200 pound boar, this time with his rifle at Boggy Creek.

We also had several new hunters in camp that shot their first deer ever while here. One was Greg Stube’s father-in-law who shot his first deer – a big doe. Another was 14 year old Matt from GA, who was practically run over by bucks while he and his dad were down. Matt’s first deer was a great 8 point, and his second would have been an 8 if he hadn’t have been fighting and broken one side off. Our other “new” hunter was 77 year old Bill, down from Black Mountain, NC, who took a huge doe to break in his rifle. Both of these hunters are emailing pictures of their kills to us, so as soon as they do, we will share them with you.

Now that deer season is over, Cypress Creek will be preparing for our Spring hog and turkey hunts. We have the 1000 acre tract right on the river back again (where we always kill a ton of great boars) along with another new hog hunting tract plus another 2000 acre tract just for turkeys, so we are really looking forward to getting some hunters at the lodge to use all of them. However until then, we will be working on getting these tracts set up and the roads worked on (a must after all of this rain), so hang in there for some great upcoming hunting action.

Happy New Year!
