Blackwater Hunting Services
Blackwater Hunting Services
Since 1996, Blackwater Hunting Services has been South Carolina's premier outfitter for guided deer, turkey, hog and quail hunts. Located in the Low Country of South Carolina, an area well known for it's southern hospitality, abundance of wild game, very liberal game limits and lengthy hunting seasons.
Deer Hunting
Blackwater is home to approximately 11,000 acres of prime white tail deer habitat consisting of rivers, swamps, creeks, planted pines, hardwoods and cut-overs. Our pledge of absolutely no overbooking, taking only eight (8) hunters per day, should aide in you having a hunt of a lifetime. We have one of the longest deer seasons with several hunting packages.
Hog Hunting
In our area, hog season runs all year. You may harvest a hog during your deer hunt or book just a hog hunt in January, February, May or June. We only book small groups to increase your chances of bagging your hog. Be sure to check out our hog/quail combo hunts.
Turkey Hunting
There is nothing quite like being in prime turkey habitat listening to the thunder of a big Gobbler. We offer fully guided eastern wild turkey hunts, the most exciting game bird in North America. Watching that ole'Tom strut, gobble and drum to the call of your guide is the thrill of a lifetime.
Quail Hunting
Exciting quail hunts are the epitome of true southern sportsmanship. Our guides and professionally trained bird dogs can give you a day to remember.
