Wild Boar hunting is available at the Cedar Knoll Hunting Lodge on a year-round basis and provides the hunter with a challenging experience that will be remembered well after the hunt.
According to a recent article, wild boar in the Savannah River drainage, those found on Lakeview Plantation, date back to the mid-1500’s. They are truly wild and are not modern feral farm hogs
that have been released into the area for hunting purposes. On the
other hand, there is evidence that there has been cross breeding with wild Russian boar that were released on a neighboring 22,800-acre plantation in 1984 which adds to the ferocity as well as the size of the “colonial feral hogs”.
Hayward & Dona Simmons, owners of the Cedar Knoll Hunting Lodge, limit hunting activity in order to provide "rest periods" between hunts. These "rest periods" help to maintain high visibility and success rates that exceed 100%. Specifically, hunter success rates have exceeded 200% on two-day and three-day hog hunts in 2009, largely because of the ten-day rest period scheduled between wild boar hunts.
Wild boar hunting may be enjoyed on a hog only hunt year-round, on a combination quail/hog hunt during quail season or on a combination deer/hog hunt during deer season. Obviously, the combination hunts provide a more diverse hunting experience during a stay at the Cedar Knoll Hunting Lodge.
The rates for a hog only hunt are $395.00 per day with a two-day minimum and the opportunity to harvest 1 hog per sitting (two per day). The rate on combination quail/hog hunt is the same as the applicable rate on a quail hunt with the hog hunt substituted for the afternoon quail hunt. The rate on combination deer/hog hunt is the same as the applicable rate on a deer hunt plus $150.00 with the harvest of a hog substituted for the harvest of a deer during either sitting during a deer hunt. See Cedar Knoll Combination Hunts.
