The Cypress Creek Skinning Shed

NWTF Women in the Outdoors group at Cypress Creek

Since it is always a little slow the week of Thanksgiving, I am going to work backwards over the next few days and post some pictures of successful guests from late October and early November. And we had plenty of them!

One group that really had a good time with us was the 12 women from the National Wild Turkey Federation’s Women In The Outdoors. They came and took over the lodge the weekend of Halloween, and most of them saw deer, and a few had hogs come by their stands. Dana ended up showing them all how it was done when she knocked down a great 8 point, but they all agreed that they had a wonderful time and couldn’t wait to come back… Just check out some of the emails I received after they got home.

“We all can’t thank you and the staff enough for a wonderful hunting experience! I am sure this trip will be discussed for months! Nearly everyone can’t wait to come back and do it again. Henry and Bubba really made the trip enjoyable and were very generous with information on the blinds, rules and the areas we were hunting. Becky and Danny were a joy to work with and hats off to the chef! I think we all gained 5 lbs,” emailed Jeanene, who also wrote up her experience with us on her website www.notaclueadventures.com. Please make sure and check it out.

“We all had a great time. I like going here for the weekend instead of going to the spa. It is relaxing and everyone is there to have a good time and hunt. I would like to thank the staff for being so wonderful: Becky, Danny, Henry, Bubba, and Jeff and the chef’s, Nita and Val. Can’t wait to return next year,” wrote Mari.

“Thank you so much for the story and pictures. I enjoyed meeting you and hope we see you up there next year. You can not beat the hospitality of the staff at the Cypress Creek

If you are interested in joining this group with us next year, you can find out more information on the NWTF’s Women in the Outdoors website www.womenintheoutdoors.org. Thanks to all of the women that came and hunted with us here at Cypress Creek. We truly enjoyed having you all here in the lowcountry, and we can’t wait for everyone to return next year!

Check out some of last week’s successes… Our friends Gene and Joe were down from North Carolina, and Joe shot a great boar over on Boggy Creek. His hog was the last of 22 to come out to the feeder!

Also, take a look at Allen’s nice 8 point. He was down from North Carolina with his son Craig for only one day and managed to kill himself one for the wall.

And I am almost scared to put up the pictures of Ryan with two of his great 8 pointers. He managed to kill three 8 points during his 5 day trip, and to say that his buddies were envious would be an understatement

Luckily they understand hunting, and they know that sometimes a hunter just can’t get a bad stand!

Welcome to our new “News Blog” for Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge. First we want to thank all of our many friends and guests that have hunted with us over the past years. We have been blessed and honored to share many great hunting experiences together. Hopefully there will be many more in the future.

We have been working to put together this new blog that will be called “The Skinning Shed”. It will be used to post all of the latest news, events, photos and will also be open for all our readers to make their own comments. This should help keep everyone well informed of all the latest activities happening at Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge.

We look forward to keeping you updated, posting your comments and photos while we all “Pursue the Experience” at Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge.

Sincerely,

Danny, Becky and all the staff

Jeff Hunt

My name is Jeff Hunt, and I would also like to welcome you to The Cypress Creek Skinning Shed. I am the marketing and media coordinator as well as a guide here, and I will be the one keeping this blog updated with all of the latest happenings here at our hunting lodge.

We chose to name our new blog “The Skinning Shed” due to that facility’s importance at any hunting camp. Because it is there you will find hunters cleaning their latest harvests, swapping hunting stories, sharing their outdoor experiences and planning for the next hunt.

It is the same here at Cypress Creek’s online Skinning Shed. Here you will find the latest pictures and stories of our hunts as well as weather and hunting forecasts for the coming week. I will also be posting articles to help educate all hunters on how to successfully deer, boar and turkey hunt the beautiful lowcountry of South Carolina while they are here visiting. And considering that we have 100 years of lowcountry hunting experience between Danny, myself, and our guides, Bubba, Henry and Hampton, I believe that we can provide that kind of information with no problem.

We truly appreciate all of our guests that have hunted with us, and we encourage everyone that hasn’t to come “pursue the experience” with us here at Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge.
