| A Sportsman's Paradise... |
Blackwater
Hunting Services is located in the Low Country of South Carolina,
an area well known for its southern hospitality and abundance
of wild game. This area also has very liberal game limits and
lengthy hunting seasons. From an outdoorsman's view, I feel
that I have been very fortunate to live, hunt and fish in this
sportsman's paradise.
I have hunted this area my entire life in addition to being
a guide, assistant manager and manager at several other
commercial
hunting outfitters in the Low Country area for approximately
30 years. This experience gives me the knowledge to offer
you a quality hunt.

| Absolutely no overbooking... |
 Blackwater
is different from most commercial hunting operations because
of the very small number of hunters that will be allowed to
hunt per day. I am a firm believer that too much hunting pressure
causes game to alter their natural movement patterns which
would reflect on the hunter's success. This is the reason
Blackwater will not be overbooked.
The
first year that I started my operation in 1996, we had over
100% kill ratio for deer and 76% kill ratio for turkey. I
know that these ratios can change from year to year due to
weather conditions or hatchings, etc. but I can guarantee
that they will not change from too much hunting pressure.
Blackwater consists of several different tracts of land encompassing
rivers, swamps, creeks, planted pines, hardwoods and cut overs
along with some warm and cool season food plots planted exclusively
for wildlife. These plots are planted in cow peas, wheat,
chufa, etc. In addition to these planted food plots, corn
is put out at deer stands on a weekly basis beginning well
in advance of the deer season and stopping well ahead of turkey
season. All of these factors contribute to Blackwater's prime
wildlife habitat.

| Our Lodge... |
A welcoming Great Room with a 65" Big Screen Satellite TV and a fireplace or a roomy front porch with over-sized rockers will be nice places to relax and share your hunting "stories". Our 4 bedrooms with 20" flat screen TV/DVD players and 5 bathrooms will comfortable accommodate 12 hunters. Wireless internet is also available. Completing our lodge is a dining area and kitchen where our cooks prepare delicious, southern-style meals. There is no better way to complete your hunt than to have quality conversation about the day's productive hunt over a delicious supper! Check with our references about the food and be sure that you pack your appetite on your way to Blackwater!

Fishing... |
| Fishing is included with all hunts in
the Hiers' 10 acre pond located 1.7 miles from the lodge. There
is a ten fish take home limit per trip and only two can
be bass.
If you plan to fish please bring your own rod and reel
and tackle box.

| Friendly Atmosphere... |
| For over 15 years, my main objective remains the same: To provide you the best hunting, food and southern hospitality. With over 30 years experience as a guide, assistant manager and manager of several commercial outfitters in the low country area, I have the expertise and knowledge to offer you a quality hunt. I have lived in and hunted this area of S.C. my entire life. I killed my first deer in 1966, at the age of nine, near some of the land that we currently hunt. I want you to feel at home in a safe and friendly atmosphere, have a great hunt, make some memories and for our friendship to continue long after your hunt.
