Hey, I live in South Carolina, Spartanburg County (70-80 miles from you) and we hunt here. We have long gun seasons Oct 11 to Jan 1. Never hunted North Carolina, mainly hunt South Carolina and Georgia. I have seen some serious bucks harvested in SC. my We also love our duck, dove, and turkey hunting. I hunt mainly my private land with some public and my buddies club. Union, SC is loaded with hunting leases/clubs from timber companies. Those hunt clubs typically charge $600-$1200 a year with no limit on game, as long as you hunt legal. Let me know if you want to know anything else.
