| 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
25 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.

| Lodging... |
 Our
lodge consists of 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and will be
able to comfortably accommodate 8 hunters. A welcoming Great
Room with Satellite TV, a fireplace, and a roomy front porch
will be a nice place to relax and share your hunting "stories".
Completing our
lodge will be 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 a 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' 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... |
| At Blackwater my main objective is to have
the best hunting, food and southern hospitality that this
area has to offer. I want you to feel at home in a friendly
atmosphere and I want our friendship to continue long
after your hunt. |
