mjw176, Hello
I live here in Columbia and can tell you a little about the hunting. Deer season is long(aug15th-Jan1st) lots of time to hunt. It will cool off around oct, which I think is the better month to hunt and nov. You will have lots of bugs and snakes still moving around and heat,in the early season. There are clubs,game management lands.You can still hunt,Dog drive for deer and hogs from Columbia on down to the Low country. If you Bow Hunt, you will have a lot of game management all to yourself durning bow season. There are some nice Deer taken,but a lot of the Deer are smaller than where you are from. But we have all you can stand!!! Hope this helps a little. Hawg man
