A True Classic Quail Plantation Experience at Pine Hill Plantation

The jangling of the chains on the mule-drawn wagon, the clip-clopping of horses, the huntmaster’s signal of dogs on point followed shortly by whirring wings and gunfire. These are the sounds of a traditional Southern quail hunt. These are the sounds of Pine Hill Plantation. Located in the heart of South Georgia’s quail belt, Pine Hill offers hunters a taste of the private-plantation experience. From 6,000 acres of carefully managed habitat (classic longleaf pine forest with wiregrass understory) to a kennel full of well-trained pointing and retrieving dogs to numerous coveys of hard-flying bobwhites, careful attention is paid to every detail.
