Help finding a hunting lease/club

[Swamp Fox]

I’ve had some good luck in the bow only areas but I prefer rifle hunting and Sumpter is definitely challenging, for me atleast

There are clubs that will let you in, even if you went to Clempson and/or have hunted Sumpter. In fact, some clubs thrive on that. LOL

You just have to keep trying, and lower your expectations about your companions.

A lease or ownership is a better solution if you are serious and long-term.

Let everyone you ever come across know--including the girl at the Piggly Wiggly with the nasty nose balls--- that you are looking for ground.

True 5 years ago, but unless the landowner has been living under a rock, they know land prices in SC have doubled or tripled in the last 5 years.

Some of the draw hunts have really good odds and are ran very well. Make sure you tote a good cushion, as the provided ladder stands sit rough for old joints.

The amount of people from the North that retire here is frustrating as a younger guy just trying to buy a few acres to build a house and raise a family.

Thinking of all the parcels I've had to sell off over the last 35 years due to divorces makes me wanna do some awful things.
