Hunting Fees

Red Bluff Lodge offers hunting opportunities at the following rates:

Buck_buck Deer hunting is $450 per day and is available from August 15th through January 1st. For your daily fee, you may shoot 1 buck and 1 doe per sitting, for a total of 2 of each per day hunted. All deer hunts include the opportunity to harvest feral hogs (1 per sitting).

Felicia_hog Hog hunting is also $450 per day. Because hogs are feral, rather than native, animals, there is no limited season for their harvest. Our hog population is most dense on the 1,700 acres we hunt directly on the Savannah River. You are able to harvest 1 hog per sitting, or 2 per day when hunting with us. All of our hogs are free-range, naturally occurring animals.

Daffis_turkey_3_1 Turkey hunting is $500 per day, for a fully-guided hunt. (Returning and/or advanced hunters may wish to hunt on a self-guided basis; if so, please call us to discuss arrangements and rates for this.) Turkey season is March 15th through May 1st. We turkey hunt on 7,000 acres, and have an extremely healthy population from year to year.

All of the rates discussed above are all-inclusive; that is, there are no additional charges. The only additional expense you will incur on a hunt with us is the cost of your South Carolina hunting license*. The services included in your rate are:

  • Guide services required for your specie hunted;
  • Transportation to and from your stand;
  • Retrieval service, if necessary (we use tracking dogs);
  • Game cooling, cleaning and quartering;

2006 Turkey Harvest

    This year's turkey season was our best one to date! We had fabulous spring weather and our hunters enjoyed an unparalled level of success. We also had more than a few near misses, which made for VERY entertaining stories around the campfire. Our 'turkey fever' is worse than ever!
