This is great, a place to put a HUNT REPORT...
Ok, Deer & Pig hunters beware of a place called Deerfield Plantation. They are located in St. George S.C..
A few of us went there in 2002 and wern't really expecting to or looking to shoot a deer. It was an affordable hunt and we wanted to shoot pigs. I can shoot bigger deer here at home. So anways off we go. We arrive at the planation and do all the nessary paprework and pay our bill. We get up the next day and are suppose to have breakfeast. Well the only breakfeast was some fruit and cornflakes.
We embark on our first day of hunting. The alleged guide (who really was just a taxi driver dropping us off at stands) dropped us off at a stand then another truck came by a dropped some corn on the logging road. They left us in the stands to about noon. They then picked us up and took us back for lunch. Well lunch turned out to be whatever last nights left over dinners were. Needless to say we ate at the local Harddies everyday.
On the second day on the evening hunt I get lucky and have some pigs come to my little corn pile. I'm happy I have a bunch of pigs 50 yards away and a 270 in my hands. I wait I pick the biggest one and when he turns and faces me I plant a round right smack in-between the eyes. Bang pig hits the ground. I like cool I hear another shot and my buddie calls me on the radio and says he just got a pig too. Well all of a sudden my pig gets up and staggers off the road into the brush. It's getting dark si I wait for (AKMED) the cabbie to come along. Well after sitting in the dark for an hour AKMED finally shows up. I tell him I got one and explain I shot him in the head ( like they told us we had to do on anything we shot at) and that the pig went down then staggered in the woods. I also told him I heared the pig crash in the brush. Well AKMED gets an attiude goes to the truck gets a gun. Then he walks mabey 10 feet into the brush and says that I must have missed. Well after giving him a piece of my mind he said we'll look in the morning. That never happened. They also had a dog that they used to track animales and refused to go back. Well my buddies pig did the same thing and they wouldn't look for his either.
All the stands were located on a logging road and the cabbie would just pull up to it. There was no walking into the woods. Hey Dive thru hunting.
So on the third morning instead of hunting we just got up and left. The whole time at the place we did not see one deer. It was a joke.
So pass this along to anyone that my be thinking about a southern hunt.
