We offer early season hunts for velvet antlered bucks, and during the regular season you can harvest four per hunt! Our season runs from August 15th thru January 1st annually, offering the longest and most liberal deer season in the entire nation. We combine unbelievable deer hunting opportunities with great accommodations and incredible food. Buck Run Hunting Lodge is the adventure you're looking for!
Located in Hampton County, South Carolina, where whitetail deer populations and harvests have traditionally been number one or two statewide throughout the history of deer hunting, Buck Run Hunting Lodge offers the serious whitetail hunter an experience he will never forget!

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.

OCTOBER REPORT
AS WAS SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER WAS EXCEPTIONAL! OUR FIRST HUNT OF THE MONTH BEGINNING ON THE 10TH FEATURED ALL REPEAT HUNTERS WITH JUST ONE EXCEPTION AND THAT ONE EXCEPTION FROM FLORIDA WAS BLESSED WITH A 3 BUCK HARVEST ACCOMPLISHED WITH ONE OF OUR LOANER ATG RIFLES. BRIAN WAS SO IMPRESSED HE DECIDED TO ORDER ONE IN 300 WSM CALIBER. THANKS BRIAN! HARVEST WAS GREAT AS EVERYONE WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH MANY OTHERS SCORING ON MULTIPLE HARVESTS.
OUR SECOND HUNT OF THE MONTH FEATURED ALL REPEAT HUNTERS BUT VERY INEXPERIENCED WITH 3 OF THE 7 HARVESTING THEIR FIRST BUCK EVER, TWO OF WHICH WERE HARVESTED WITH MORE OF OUR LOANER ATG RIFLES. YELP, YOU GUESSED IT, MORE RIFLE SALES! CONGRATS TO WILLIAM FROM NC, AND GRAHAM AND JIM FROM CHARLESTON ON THEIR FIRST DRT KILLS!
IT JUST KEPT GETTING BETTER AS THE 3RD HUNT OF THE MONTH, BEGINNING ON THE 25TH WAS THE BEST AS 7 HUNTERS HARVESTED 22 DEER WHILE MISSING JUST 2. YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL AT BUCK RUN WHEN THE RUT IS IN FULL SWING AS ALL THE BIG BOYS START SHOWING UP AGAIN SINCE THEIR AUGUST SUMMER PATTERNS HAVE ENDED AND THEY BEGIN A GREAT TRANSITION PERIOD BETWEEN FOOD AND SEXUAL FOLLY! THIS WAS NEVER MORE EVIDENT ON THIS HUNT AS 10 OF THE BUCKS HARVESTED WERE ALL 8 POINTS WEIGHING BETWEEN 165 AND 190 POUNDS.
FINALLY, WE WANT TO LET THE VERY FEW OF OUR FRIENDS THAT DECIDED NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN HUNTING THIS YEAR DUE TO COVID 19 CONCERNS THAT WE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS AND STAND BY YOUR DECISIONS 100%. WE ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHERS THAT HUNT AT BUCK RUN WITH YOU HAVE ASKED REPEATEDLY ABOUT YOU AND HAVE MISSED YOUR PRESENCE AND FELLOWSHIP THAT WE ALL ENJOYED FOR YEARS! WE FEEL THAT OUR RECOMMENDED CDC GUIDELINES HAVE PROVEN EFFECTIVE AND SAFE FOR US AND ALL OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN OUR GUESTS. THUS FAR NO REPORTED TRANSMISSIONS HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF HUNTING AT BUCK RUN. STAY SAFE AND AS ALWAYS HAPPY HUNTING!
Our August hunters last year were all using custom made ATG Rifles! Maybe you should be shooting an ATG Rifle too?
