Introducing The Next Generation To Hunting

One of the best parts of working for Cypress Creek is introducing new people, especially young ones, to hunting.

While we certainly have lots of experienced hunters who stay with us, we are also very fortunate to have a great deal of new hunters who visit looking to break in to the sport. And everyone at the lodge always enjoys these new hunters because it gives us a chance to share our years of experience with them, teach them some of the most productive methods of hunting here in the lowcountry and hopefully encourage them to become life-long hunters who will then introduce their children to our great past time.

During this past deer season, we had quite a few young, new hunters stay with us, and two of them were Heidi and her older sister Addy. They were down in late September with their grandfather and uncle to try and kill their very first deer. I am proud to report that both girls were successful over on our “any legal deer” tract called Sandy Run. Heidi killed a very big doe while Addy harvested a great 6 point. And as any hunter would be, they were both very proud of their accomplishment and even took their “bloodying” like champs! – although I believe they did use up all of the hot water in the lodge trying to get it off 🙂

Another young hunter that we introduced to hunting was my own 4-year-old son, Bo. We squeezed in a few hunts right at the end of the season to help meet our doe harvest quota over at Pleasant Hill, and we were able to kill two nice does together. It was truly an amazing experience to sit with him, answer all of his questions about the outdoors and then shoot two deer with him next to me – And I know that I will never forget those hunts!

I also know that not all hunting lodges are family friendly, but we are! And we take great pride in being able to provide a great hunt for everyone from our very experienced guests to those who are brand new to the sport. So if you are a new hunter or have a new hunter, we encourage you to come and “pursue the experience” here first at Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge.
