Cedar Island Duck Hunt

Joey, T.R. and I (david) were drawn for a duck hunt through the state of South Carolina. We camped in Francis Marion National Forest for two nights.


The hunt was awesome, we got 15 birds, including green wing teal, blue wing teal, ruddy ducks, gadwall, northern shovlers, and a drake pintail. The staff at Cedar Island was fantastic. We look forward to our next hunt there.


After the hunt we went back to camp, and scouted for the next days hunt, our camp was under a huge live oak that the three of us couldn't fit our arms halfway around. We spent a long time looking for our next hunt, and found a 60 acre black water cypress pond. After we found the pond we went back to camp and ate some of the deer I shot in my previous post, and T.R. and Joey cleaned the ducks for us to enjoy.

The next morning the pond couldnt have been more than 10 miles from cedar island and we saw NOTHING! That pretty much sums up our public duck hunting experience in South Carolina for the last couple of years.
