We hunt deer, turkey, and wild hogs!
We have an amazingly long deer season beginning in mid-August and continuing through January 1. Our velvet buck season is one of the most popular (see video). Ranking right at the top with the August hunts are the Mid-October to mid- November rut hunts. Hunter’s average from 1.25 to 3.25 deer per hunt depending on the number of days hunted.
We hunt over 7,000 acres with 125 different stands located over prime hardwood bottoms, agricultural fields, swamps and timberland. All stands are metal fabricated and designed to hold from 1 to 3 hunters depending on the situation. You will never see the same one twice. All hunts are by reservation only! Whether you are booking a deer or turkey hunt, reservations are limited to 6-8 persons per deer hunt and 4 persons per turkey hunt. Be sure to check out our Big Buck Photo Album for photos of some of our hunter’s harvests.

APRIL REPORT
APRIL, 2020 IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A MONTH THAT HAMPTON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS WILL NEVER FORGET! ABOVE AVERAGE RAINFALL FOR THE MONTH COUPLED WITH 10-20 MPH WINDS ON A DAILY BASIS AND THE THREAT OF TORNADOS ONCE OR TWICE EACH WEEK HAS CERTAINLY KEPT EVERYONE IN THIS AREA ON THEIR TOES. ON APRIL 13TH IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AN EF-4 TORNADO PACKING 175 MPH WINDS TOUCHED DOWN ½ MILE TO THE NE OF BUCK RUN LEAVING A PATH OF DESTRUCTION 24 MILES LONG AND ¾ MILE WIDE DESTROYING OVER 200 HOMES, KILLING 5 LOCALLY AND INJURING OVER 60. THE DEVASTATION HAS BEEN DESCRIBED BY FIRST RESPONDERS AND POWER OFFICIALS AS BEING WORSE THAN KATRINA! WE ARE FINE HERE BUT MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE LOST EVERYTHING. YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THERE IS NOT MUCH TO REPORT IN THE HUNTING WORLD. IT REMAINS VERY, VERY WET MAKING TRAVEL OFF MAIN ROADS VERY DIFFICULT WITHOUT MAKING AN ABSOLUTE MESS OF THINGS. TWO TO THREE WEEKS AGO FARMERS WERE ABLE TO GET INTO FIELDS TO PLANT CORN BUT NOW FACE THE RISK OF HAVING IT ALL DROWN BECAUSE OF MORE FLOODING. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS SOMEWHAT DRYER WEATHER IN THE FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK.
BATTLING THE CORONA VIRUS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR ALL. SANDRA AND I HAVE BEEN LOCKED DOWN FOR 6 WEEKS NOW LEAVING THE COMFORT OF BUCK RUN ONLY FOR ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES CLOSE BY. I’VE NEVER SPENT SO MUCH TIME AT HOME THIS TIME OF YEAR IN MY LIFE. I HAVE REBUILT EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN THE BARN AND BUILT 8 NEW GUNS IN THE LAST SIX WEEKS. WE ARE RAPIDLY RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO CLEAN AND FIX. HOPEFULLY THIS MESS WILL BE OVER WITH SOON. IN THE MEANTIME PLEASE STAY SAFE AND STAY IN TOUCH!
Our August hunters last year were all using custom made ATG Rifles! Maybe you should be shooting an ATG Rifle too?
