South Carolina Lowcountry Deer Hunting Season Opens Sunday

After 8 months of patiently waiting, our South Carolina lowcountry deer hunting season has finally arrived. It opens this Sunday August 15th, and we here at Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge can’t wait to get our hunters in the woods to get it started. The guides have been working all summer on moving stands to the best possible locations, adding roofs to block any bad weather, cutting shooting lanes to better see the big bucks, planting food plots to bring in the big bucks, servicing the vans that take our hunters out as well as redoing the hardwood floors in both lodges and painting some of the rooms to make sure that our

guests have the hunting trip of a lifetime.

But after months of prep work, it is now time to hit the woods to see how all of our hard work pays off for our guests. And since we have been seeing lots of good bucks as we did our work out in the woods, we feel pretty confident that everyone will have a great hunt. We have even captured some of the big buck activity on our trailcams. Just check out the great buck over on Boggy Creek that has been enjoying the peas we planted as well as the corn from our feeder (note the date should be 8/2). He will look great on one of our hunter’s walls, and we would love for that hunter to be you. We still have a few openings during the first couple of weeks of the season when the bucks will be in velvet, so please give us a call to let us know when you would like to come and hunt.

Also,  since our last post about the great success we have had on our hog hunts this summer, our hunters’ good fortunes have continued. We had 13-year old Cici and her dad down for just two days, and she was able to harvest a nice meat hog over on Boggy Creek to get her first hog ever. We also had Jamie down from PA for several days over at the Bow Camp, and she was able to take a nice meat hog over there with her crossbow in addition to going down to the River for an afternoon sit where she killed a monster lowcountry boar with her rifle. So congratulations to both ladies on showing everyone how it is done. And since Jamie was nice enough to drop us a quick note about her hunt, we thought we would include it here as well – Because if anyone can tell you about the quality of the hunts we offer, it is Jamie who has been hunting at Cypress Creek for 10 years.

I really enjoyed my week long stay at the bow camp. It was like the ultimate ‘summer camp’ for hunters! I absolutely loved being surrounded by the woods and the solitude it offered. I had many opportunities to observe deer, alligators, egret, owl, fish, insects, hogs, and other animals in their natural environment.  Despite the excessive heat and humidity, extensive walking, numerous snakes, spiders, and countless mosquitoes, it was an awesome experience!  All of those challenges made winning the ‘prize’ of a boar with a crossbow, MUCH more rewarding! I’m sure Justin already told you that I finished the week by harvesting a nice boar, with some exceptional cutters, at the river property. Attached are some pictures. Feel free to use the pictures or any information from this e-mail on the web site.    Regards,   Jamie

Thanks Jamie for the nice words about Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge, and we look forward to having you back again just as we look forward to

having all of our guests here again or for the first time. Good Luck to everyone on Opening Day!
