We wrapped up 2026 deer season with lots of warm weather and acorns on the ground, however cold weather finally rolled to the South Carolina lowcountry by January and so did the good wild hog hunting! The cold temperatures and increased caloric needs of the pigs allowed us to see and shoot some great hogs this year, many around 200lbs.
We had lots of movement from that first week through the mid March, allowing our guests to hammer some good hogs before it warmed up and got super dry as Spring arrived. As a matter of fact, it was so cold here in South Carolina this year that we had 6 inches of snow the last weekend of January! That only happens about every 7 years here.
We also saw and missed many other hogs. But that is just to be expected with real fair chase/free-range hog hunting. Hogs don't stand still like deer do, and they also sit much lower to the ground, both of which make them tougher to shoot than what most hunters are used to. Then you have to factor in the fact that hunting at night is very new to many, which requires a lot of different equipment as well as getting comfortable not seeing what you are doing.
Pictured below are some of the great wild hogs our guests took this winter along with some of the amazing meals they ate here. If you would like to join us, we are currently booking for our 2027 winter night hog hunts, so please call, text or email any questions about our hunts.
We have also gotten much more active on social media so you can stay up with us all of the time. You can find daily updates on our hunting on our Tik Tok page, Lowcountry Hunting, as well as on our two Instagram pages. One is Lowcountry Hunting, where I cross post my Tik Toks and post some of our hunting videos that I can't show on TT. We also have our Lowcountry Hunting Lodge page where I post all of our kill photos and more of our hunting videos. Then we have our YouTube page where I also cross post our TT videos for those on YT shorts, and also some longer, informational videos as well. And while we are still not back on FB, I am hoping to have an update on our efforts getting us back on there soon too.
Also, we have been doing some giveaways of shirts, calls and even night vision scopes online, however we will be switching and drawing from this email list soon! If you are receiving this, you are all set. If not, please sign up on the page that pops up while you are on our website. So stay tuned for much more. Thank you! Jeff and Amy Hunt
