At Turkey Hill Plantation, thousands of acres are maintained and preserved for use as bird woods. A typical quail hunt begins at 9 in the morning with a detailed safety orientation. Guests set out on a hunt wagon accompanied by a driver, relays of eager dogs, and experienced guides on horseback. Expect lots of coveys (some wild), the joys of working with well-trained bird dogs, beautiful and varied terrain, and last but not least cameraderie. Depending on the weather, a home made meal or box lunch is served outdoors at a lunch shed or back at the various houses. Afternoon hunts begin again around 2 and conclude just about when the sun appears over the yardarm, usually around 5.
There is currently a 2-year waitlist for quail hunting. For information about possible membership, contact our general manager, Canada Smith at the plantation office: 843-726-8646 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
