S.C. deer season runs from Aug.15 thru Jan.1. Deer can be harvested in full velvet the first two weeks of the season. Our rut runs from mid Oct. thru mid Nov. The rut is an excellent time to book a hunt. These hunts will book up so call early to secure your dates.
Hog hunting at the Buck & Boar is year-round and some of the best offered anywhere. If you desire more than a pig hunt on someone’s deer lease we may be what you’re looking for. Our hog herd is managed to produce high quality European trophy boar. The genetic makeup of our herd is a product of all four European strains. Protected breeding stock imported from Europe is the foundation of our breeding program that is setting industry standards. We currently hold one world record in the W.W.T. record book. We are committed to managing for quality to ensure our guests have the opportunity to harvest a fine European wild hog.
The majority of our hogs are harvested from elevated shooting houses and ground blinds. We have stands overlooking thirty+ food plots, feeders and bait sites. Over a dozen stands are set up with the archery hunter in mind. It is not uncommon to see 25-30 hogs on an evening hunt.
Spot and stalk hunting accounts for the rest of the hogs we harvest. It is more challenging than stand hunting and less productive. Your ability to move silently thru the woods will affect your success on this hunt. Under the right conditions it can be one of the most exciting ways to harvest a wild boar.
The Buck & Boar is proud to offer ram hunts in 2006. Introduced in stages over the past few years the rams were protected and allowed to roame the entire preserve while maturing into a true breeding herd. Corsican, Desert paints, Mouflon, Texas dall and Black Hawaiian rams can be found in social groups, grazing food plots or browsing woodlots throughout the property.
Rams are pursued on foot and hunted from stands. A trophy ram and a wild hog hunt make a great combo. Ram hunting is productive morning thru mid-day when hogs tend to lay-up. After a day of ram hunting it will be prime time for a late evening hog hunt.
Two outdoor companies have filmed Buck & Boar ram hunts this year with great satisfaction. These hunts will be featured on the Mens and the Sportsmens channel in the near future. If you’re looking for a first class ram hunt give us a call. We have a ram hunting package for you!
The Buck & Boar is not a kill-pen.We do not offer canned hunts. If you’re looking to kill an animal without investing time and effort you may be disappointed hunting with us. Our animals live in an enclosure but they are wild and wise to hunting pressure. We do not guarantee a kill. Most of our hunting parties enjoy an eighty percent success rate and take home top quality big game trophies.Give yourself a fair chance at success by allowing ample time to get the job done. W
We recommend:
Hog or Ram: one and a half to two and a half days Hog-Ram combo: two and a half days
Trophy whitetail: three to five and a half days
We will be glad to itemize the cost of your hunting package with you when you call. We will let you know what you will owe with and without your intended harvest.
Our most popular package is a one and a half day boar hunt. Below is a total for one hunter in a party of six, with a 200# boar harvest on this hunt.( we are currently over 70% success on this hunt with a 175# boar average!)
