The Cypress Creek Skinning Shed

The South Carolina alligator hunting season is now open for the second year, and we are fortunate to have a limited number of tags available for our guests. You can read all about the alligator hunts that we are now offering on our South Carolina alligator hunting page, but the most important detail that you need to know is that the season only runs until October 15th! So if you are interested in pursuing an ancestor of the dinosaurs, you had better give Becky a call ASAP to book your dates.

And along with the South Carolina alligator season opening, we are now just a few days away from our doe hunting season that starts on Sept. 15th and runs through the end of the year. This gives our deer hunters even more opportunities to harvest some fresh venison while waiting for a big buck. Or like I talked about before, to put some additional meat in the freezer or possibly introduce a youngster to our amazing sport for a VERY reasonable amount on one of our doe-only hunts.

As for us here at Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge, we are taking September easy. This month is traditionally a transitional month for us as we get back to work on our fall food plots and prepare for one of our busiest times of the year - The Rut. So while we have the time off, Danny and our master guide Bubba “I think like a deer” Johnson have escaped the lowcountry to visit Ontario, Canada to see if they can’t kill a couple of bears. We sure wish they had room for Henry and I, but someone had to stay and keep working and checking the trailcams. We also wish them lots of luck since they were unsuccessful on their last hunt together for Elk out in Colorado last year… But that’s real hunting, and it just proves that “hunting is just that - hunting. And sometimes you get one, and sometimes you don’t”.

Well, one of our guests that did get “one” was Thomas. He and his buddies visited us just a few weeks ago, and they sent a couple of shots of their group with Thomas and his boar. Congratulations to Thomas, and thanks to Waymon for sending the pictures and the nice email… Glad you guys had such a fantastic time with us, and we look forward to having you all back.
