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
YES IT WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE OCTOBERS YOU JUST CAN’T PREPARE FOR. WITH THE TRACKS OF HURRICANES UNCERTAIN, THE QUESTION IS DO YOU CANCEL A HUNT WITH HOPES THAT IT VEERS ELSEWHERE OR DO YOU GAMBLE AND TRY TO GET THE HUNT IN? WE CHOSE TO TAKE THE SAFE ROUTE EVERYTIME WITHOUT TRYING TO PLAN FOR THE UNKNOWN AND ENDANGERING HUNTERS. LUCKILY WE WERE SPARED FROM TWO DIFFERENT HURRICANES, ONE FROM THE ATLANTIC SIDE AND ANOITHER FROM THE GULF. THE DAMAGE WE SUSTAINED WAS MINUSCULE COMPARED TO THOSE DIRECTLY IN THE PATHS OF HURRICANE FLORENCE AND MICHAEL. WITH JUST 15-20 DOWNED TREES AND JUST 2.25 INCHES OF NEEDED RAIN WE WERE BACK IN BUSINESS SOON AFTER THEIR PASSING.
AFTER CRANKING BACK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG TO BEGIN EXPERIENCING SOME GREAT HARVESTS ON ALL THREE HUNTS FOR THE MONTH. MULTIPLE HARVESTS BY THE MAJORITY OF HUNTER WAS THE NORM AS 20 HUNTERS HARVESTED EXACTLY 50 DEER WHILE MISSING 10. ALSO AS IS THE NORM, THE BIG ONES ALWAYS GET AWAY! MAYBE AS NOVEMBER HUNTERS ARRIVE BETTER MARKSMANSHIP, PATIENCE AND EXPERIENCE WILL TAKE OVER AND WE CAN GET THOSE REALLY LARGE, MATURE BUCKS ON THE GROUND. HAPPY HUNTING!
Our August hunters last year were all using custom made ATG Rifles! Maybe you should be shooting an ATG Rifle too?
