Deerfield Plantation is located in the heart of South Carolina's Lowcountry
"Deerbelt" and is a working plantation with corn, soybeans, peas, wheat, oats,
rye and coastal Bermuda fields. We offer three hundred permanent deer
stands in two main hunting areas. In our regular hunting area, (over 7,000
acres), all bucks must have a minimum of four points. The points must be at
least one inch long. In our trophy management area, (over 3,000 acres),
any buck harvested must have 8 points and a 15 inch spread. The trophy area is
hunted only in the afternoons. Beginning September 15th, you may harvest a buck
or doe in our regular hunting area.
A typical day at Deerfield starts with a wake up call at approximately an hour and a half before sunrise. A continental breakfast is offered at this time. Afterwards, an experienced guide will take you to your stand before the morning hunt. Between 10:00 and 11:00, depending on the time of year, you will be picked up and brought back to the lodge for lunch. Then the afternoon hunt will begin between 2:00 and 4:00 again depending on the time of year. You will hunt until dark. A guide will once again pick you up and return you to the lodge for the evening meal. Deerfield Plantation follows the guidelines and recommendations of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, The Quality Deer Management Association, and our own independent biologist. |
