I never hunted in SC when I was there. I did hunt over in the Athens GA area though.

Down on the SE side of the bomb plant there is an area called "Corkscrew Swamp" if I recall correctly. That might be a good area. I know it used to be open access to hunters at one time. It is outside the secured area. No place you want to be in the summer though - and that's when I was there.

You are right about the turkeys. They are ridiculously abundant down there.

Save an elk, shoot a cow.
