Guided Quail Hunting Trips

WE PROVIDE THE QUAIL HUNTER WITH THE EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE THEIR PARTY IS LOOKING FOR ON THAT DAY.

Great quail hunting begins with great quail habitat. We have spent a decade painstakingly developing prime habitat, consisting of the finest South Carolina pine woods and complemented by fields of soy beans, millet, broom straw and sorghum.

Supplemented, early release quail on our managed program make for explosive covey rises. Our pointers and setters run big or hunt close given the conditions. Harvesting a bird is often secondary to experiencing a great bird dog doing great work, and nothing beats watching our English Cockers hunt much bigger than their size by flushing and retrieving the game.

All-Inclusive QUAIL HUNTS

Our all-inclusive packages are the hunts dreams are made of. Your private staff cares for you at your choice of the Plantation Big House or the Plantation Manager’s House.

After our Southern Breakfast is served, you and your party will join with your guide, his scout, and mule driver for hunting the way few will ever get to experience, on your private quail plantation. During our morning and afternoon hunts, your party will be transported by mule-drawn wagon in the grand southern tradition. But don’t get too comfortable, you are going to be going to the point…. a lot. Your hunt courses will be exclusive to your party. In fact, no other hunting parties will be present during your stay. Our aim is to have you feel that during your time here, you own it. Following lunch, your party will re-mount and shoot a completely different, virgin course.

While your birds are being cleaned and packed, refreshments are served on the porch to catch the last rays of a glorious sunset. After cocktails, your private dinner is served either outside or in our stately formal dining room. After dinner, there is plenty of time to enjoy a cigar on the porch or play a friendly card game in our game room. Or, just do some star gazing and get ready for tomorrow.
