Deer Hunting

The low country of South Carolina offers exceptional opportunities for whitetail deer. With deer populations at their highest and the most liberal season in the southeast spanning from August 15th – January 1st, early season deer hunters are given the opportunity to harvest rare velvet buck trophies.

You will be hunting from comfortable elevated tower stands, ladder stands, and tripod stands equipped with rifle rests; open ladder stands and loc-on stands are also used to accommodate pistol and bow hunters. Stands are strategically located throughout the property around grain fields, in swamps, hardwoods, and pinewoods to ensure a variety of hunting opportunities. Most deer stands will have food plots, corn feeders, or both. Mineral supplements and protein feeds are also used to ensure healthy deer populations with quality racks. Hunters may harvest 2 deer per day.
