Spring Comes To The Lowcountry
After months of nothing but cold weather and rain, Spring has finally come to the lowcountry. The temperatures are now getting up into the 70s during the day, the saturated ground is drying up and the plants are ready to bud. But most importantly, the turkeys are gobbling and the hogs are moving.
And that was welcome news to everyone down this past week to hunt our lowcountry hogs, especially our group from NJ. Rocky started things off with when he knocked a nice 100 pounder down, then Anthony got in the game when he dropped a huge sow, and Guy rounded their hunt out with his beautiful cinnamon hog. Only their buddy Razo went home empty handed out of their group, but that is fair chase hunting š Two other hunters in camp during the same time was Mike and Kurt, and Mike harvested a good 100 pound eater pig.
Our next group, down from Niagra Falls, NY, also saw quite a few hogs. And while darkness kept several of them from getting shots off, two of their members, both first-time hog hunters, put the smack down on hogs to ensure that everyone had some pork to take back up north. First Ken shot a 120 pound sow, then Todd hammered a good 160 pound sow.
However the first time hog hunters weren’t done. Patrice, down from Gaffney, SC with her husband Robbie also easily met the challenge and killed a beautiful 130 pound sow over on Boggy Creek. So a huge congratulations to all of our hog-hunting converts.
That left Ben, visiting from TN with our good friend and veteran Greg Stube, to close out the weekend by killing a big 190 pound hog over on Boggy Creek. So as you can see, a pretty good week of hog hunting in the lowcountry. Now we just have one more week until turkey season starts, and then we will be chasing those longbeards in the mornings and still hunting the big boars in the evening. Come join us if you can. We would love to show you a little slice of our lowcountry life.
