In this exclusive series by the Shooting Sportsman Endorsed Lodge Program, Shooting Sportsman readers weigh in with their personal experiences at some of the finest wingshooting lodges in America.
Pine Hill Plantation
“I’ve hunted many of the quail hunting venues in the South, and I’ve settled on an annual adventure at Pine Hill Plantation as my favorite, for 16 seasons now.
“The [Sunset Manor] lodge is a spacious luxury shooting resort that looks and feels like a quail plantation should and is staffed with very congenial hospitality professionals. The culinary aspect features authentic, tasty Lowcountry meals served with fine wines. Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, I always look forward to enjoying whatever the chef has prepared.
“The hunting is very challenging, thanks to Pine Hill’s ‘rocket quail,’ which are not only speedy, but also flush in huge coveys. There are no ‘hoppers’ here, which makes every point very exciting. The guides and dogs are exceptional, and safety is the priority whenever we are in the field. Last but not least, hunting from the mule-drawn wagons is a treat, and Pine Hill is one of the only places that does this.
“With all of this, it's no surprise that the majority of the large group I hunt with rebooks every year. And I am always extremely confident that any newcomers to the group will be thoroughly impressed. For my part, the Pine Hill hunt has been a ‘can’t miss’ event for over a decade and will remain so for the next decade.”
